I was in the process of installing the Nvidia drivers and somehow I got directed to this site and during the install prompt (adding repository) it asked if I wanted to run tests
steps:
-user@k19x:/var/log$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
*****Below is what was printed on the screen ******************
Fresh drivers from upstream, currently shipping Nvidia.
## Current Status
Current long-lived branch release: `nvidia-430` (430.40)
Dropped support for Fermi series (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answ...tail/a_id/4656)
Old long-lived branch release: `nvidia-390` (390.129)
For GF1xx GPUs use `nvidia-390` (390.129)
For G8x, G9x and GT2xx GPUs use `nvidia-340` (340.107)
For NV4x and G7x GPUs use `nvidia-304` (304.137) End-Of-Life!
Support timeframes for Unix legacy GPU releases:
## What we're working on right now:
- Normal driver updates
- Help Wanted: Mesa Updates for Intel/AMD users, ping us if you want to help do this work, we're shorthanded.
## WARNINGS:
This PPA is currently in testing, you should be experienced with packaging before you dive in here:
Volunteers welcome!
### How you can help:
## Install PTS and benchmark your gear:
sudo apt-get install phoronix-test-suite
Run the benchmark:
phoronix-test-suite default-benchmark openarena xonotic tesseract gputest unigine-valley
and then say yes when it asks you to submit your results to openbechmarking.org. Then grab a cup of coffee, it take
s a bit for the benchmarks to run. Depending on the version of Ubuntu you're using it might preferable for you to g
rabs PTS from upstream directly: http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/?k=downloads
## Share your results with the community:
Post a link to your results (or any other feedback to): https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers-testers
Remember to rerun and resubmit the benchmarks after driver upgrades, this will allow us to gather a bunch of data o
n performance that we can share with everybody.
If you run into old documentation referring to other PPAs, you can help us by consolidating references to this PPA.
If someone wants to go ahead and start prototyping on `software-properties-gtk` on what the GUI should look like, p
lease start hacking!

Now I'm done and IDK what else I need to do to see the results, comparisons or to send the data. It took about 90-120 mins and I still don't have the nvidia graphics drivers installed.
Now I also have lost my 2nd monitor, I had 2 identical ones side by side, not it disabled my non-primary monitor and when I enable that monitor, the old primary disappears. Could this be from the program I just ran?
So where is this log viewer?
-how to I compare these results?
-Is there anything else I need to do, maybe submit a file (if they are even saved anywhere, I didn't see anything - a location would be great!
