Confused over NVIDIA graphic card is installed or not?
Hi I have a doubt this command shows me these drivers :
$ apt-cache search nvidia | grep -P '^nvidia-[0-9]+s'
nvidia-331 - Transitional package for nvidia-331 <br/nvidia-346 -
Transitional package for nvidia-346<br/nvidia-352 - Transitional
package for nvidia-361<br/nvidia-361 - Transitional package for
nvidia-367<br/nvidia-367 - NVIDIA binary driver - version
367.57<br/nvidia-304 - NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.134<br/nvidia-340 - NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.101<br/>
And but this command is showing me this result :
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500
(rev 09)
making me confuse whether I have NVIDIA graphic card installed or not.
I don't really understand what all this means.
The output of :
$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company HD Graphics 5500

Kernel driver in use: nouveau

but its not visible anywhere else. Have to install it?

As mentioned in the comments: apt-cache search only shows available packages.
The second lspci output shows that you have an Nvidia GeForce 820M and it's currently using the nouveau driver (Kernel driver in use: nouveau). You can use ubuntu-drivers to show applicable packages or it's GUI frontend named additional drivers (can also be started from command line with /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4) and install the package you like.

Can you boot from a live CD/usb stick and try the same things again? It should at least show up on a fresh install.
