因此，我尝试安装 FX 5200 的专有驱动程序，但一直收到此错误消息：
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com."
因此我检查了一下但仍然不明白问题是什么：

答案1
不要使用网站上的安装程序。它要求您关闭 X 服务器（基本上是 GUI）并从终端运行所有内容。您还需要卸载nouveau（Ubuntu 上 NVIDIA 的通用驱动程序），这很麻烦。
相反，最好直接打开附加驱动程序应用程序并在那里选择一个专有选项。如需更多选择，请添加此 PPA：
ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
使用
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
open-source（虽然实际上不是，但此选项将显示为）
答案2
FX 5200 非常老旧，在较新的 Nvidia 驱动程序中不再受支持。据 Nvidia 称，在版本 177 之后不再受支持。Ubuntu 的主存储库或另一个答案中推荐的 PPA 中都不再提供此版本。
鉴于该硬件的年限，安装专有驱动程序确实毫无意义。nouveau已在用的开源软件足以使其与当前的 Linux 操作系统完美配合。
