Nvidia-settings ubuntu server
Raw
gistfile1.txt
nvidia-settings fails on Ubuntu server because it can't init xserver.
To remedy this set the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY variables, and run with sudo.
To find the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY values use "pgrep -a Xorg"
e.g.
DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/var/run/lightdm/root/:0 sudo nvidia-settings -q CurrentMetaMode
