I have problem related my nvidia driver in Ubuntu 18.04. Actually the problem occurred in computer server and I remote the computer server by using X2Go.

My Computer Server using Ubuntu 18.04 And using NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080 TI

I am using the method to install Nvidia Drivers from this: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux

And actually it installed the latest driver as I am check using nvidia-smi: wheras showing I am using driver 440.26 which means the latest driver.

But when I check my openGL using glxinfo | grep ':' it showing that my openGL version is 3.1 which is not latest update. I really need to upgrade my openGL version to 4.6.

I am struggle for hours to do this but I can't. Could someone tell me how to proceed please?

Thank you to help me.

Check which glx/mesa you have (I'm running 16.04/Xenial still):

$ dpkg --list | grep -i "glx"
ii  libgl1-mesa-dev:amd64                                       18.0.5-0ubuntu0~16.04.1                      amd64        free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX development files
ii  libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64                                       18.0.5-0ubuntu0~16.04.1                      amd64        free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX runtime
