Hello all, as everybody knows, Deepin offers Nouveau and 390.67 Nvidia propietary drivers in its available driver options.

Here I'll teach - for those who want it for some reason - how to install latest long live / short live drivers on Deepin:

* Install Deepin's drivers with sudo apt install nvidia-driver, then reboot.
* After reboot, and without login in, use Ctrl + Alt + F2 to enter to the console.
* You'll see that you need to put your login info, do it, and then put sudo su and enter the password.
* Now write service lightdm stop, it will end the X session, necessary to install the drivers.
* Delete the newly installed drivers apt purge nvidia* && apt autoremove --purge

* Move to the directory in which Nvidia drivers file is located, using cd -path to directory-
* Type chmod a+x *run, now the file can be used as an executable (make sure it is the only .run file at your directory).
* Type sh *run, the Nvidia Driver will unpack and start to run, simply follow the steps it will say.

* After reboot, instead Nvidia Driver, maybe Nouveau will be running, so reboot again if this happens and type Ctrl + Alt + F2 // sudo su // service lightdm stop // sh *run
* You'll be running the .run file again, but not for another install, it will ask you to activate a "modprobe file" to disable the Nouveau drivers, autorize it to do that task, then reboot.


After rebooting you'll have the Nvidia 410 drivers running.

I'm using Dell Vostro 5568, from graphic manager it shows intel, open graphic driver and bumblebee.  ...

It's because you have a laptop with "optimus" technology, you cannot install Nvidia drivers without Bumblebee or Prime to manage them. You must install Bumblebee on Deepin.
