Is there a way i can update the nvidia drivers on NVOC v0019?
I've downloaded the latest drivers 384.90 as of 21-9-2017 but im not 100% on how to upgrade the existing drivers.
if you have downloaded the .dpkg run this command

Code:
sudo dpkg -i Package_Name.dpkg

But its better to update from repo with :
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-384

Or fully update/upgrade system with:

Code:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Thanks for the response - my issue is that whenever i try to open a new terminal window to try run any command - it tries to launch the miner.

Do that in Guake terminal (press F12), nvOC is setup that way, you can't use the main terminal.

You can also use the console terminal. Which means opening a terminal outside the graphical interface.

Use Control Alt F1
You can use F1 through F6 to open different terminals.
Use Control Alt F7 to return to the graphical interface.
