Problem - after installing LL 6.2[RC1] I am unable to install the proprietary Nvidia driver for my video card.
Process - clean install of LL6.2 [RC1]
- go to "Settings" - "Install Drivers" scan for 3d party hardware / drivers.
Result - no 3rd party drivers found.
Expected result - Detect the video card [Nvidia 8600m] and give option to choose between Nouveau driver, or Proprietary Nvidia driver [version 340.108]
This worked in Linux lite 5.8.
Impact - poor video performance in multiple apps.
--Note I tossed this in as a bug report because It is NOT a hardware issue. Nor is it an issue with the Video card. Its an issue with the "Install Drivers" software of linux lite. 6.2/
