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:
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.

Exactly WHICH version string are you referring to?

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 ii libxcb-glx0:amd64 1.11.1-1ubuntu1 amd64 X C Binding, glx extension ii libxcb-glx0-dev:amd64 1.11.1-1ubuntu1 amd64 X C Binding, glx extension, development files1
