Cannot launch dota

  1. Kernel 5.11 is EOL so please install both 5.4 and 5.10 LTS (Long Time Support) and see which one of the two troubles you least.
  2. Why are you on the 390.143 series driver? Remove that following the uninstall instructions from the readme that you followed to install it before continuing!

Now use the correct way to install the latest nVidia driver as the GeForce GTX 1060 supports the 465.31 series:

  • Print this page so you have it as a reference while in TTY2

  • Log off

  • Switch to TTY2 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2

  • Log in there

  • Execute:

    sudo mhwd-kernel --install linux54
    sudo mhwd-kernel --install linux510
    sudo mhwd --install pci video-nvidia
    
  • to ensure grub is showing, execute:

    sudo nano --backup /etc/default/grub
    
  • Change (or add?) the following 3 lines:

    GRUB_TIMEOUT=3
    #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
    #GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
    

    (3 or higher is fine, add the # before the lines above if those lines are present)

  • Ctrl+X Y Enter to save if there is anything to save

  • If you did save, execute:

    sudo update-grub
    
  • Reboot

  • Go to grub’s Advanced options

  • Choose these kernels one by one and try them out one by one and see if that helps.

  • If everything works, remove the 5.11 kernel.
