Problem with nVidia GTX 1060 drivers on ubuntu 14.04

I am facing problem configuring and working with Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 14.04.


At the beginning of my installation, I faced a problem with screen resolution.


I solved this issue by installing manually newer version of linux kernel.


My specs are:



  1. Ubuntu 14.04 trusty 4.10.0-35-generic 64bit (en_US.UTF-8, XFCE xubuntu)

  2. Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz ‖ RAM 15998 MiB ‖ ASUS GL502VMZ

  3. nVidia Device [10de:1c20] {nouveau}


I want to work with the nvidia drivers not nouveau.
I follow the instructions from this post answer and now I see this on the additional driver menu.


The thing is that the command nvidia-detector returns none.


Also the command sudo lshw -C display returns:


*-display UNCLAIMED

From this, I understand that something is not configured well, right?
