Install NVIDIA Graphic Card in Ubuntu
Good Night,
If you want to install NVIDIA proprietary driver. First of all see if you don’t have any other version installed. Using Ubuntu go to: System – Administration – Hardware Drivers. Disable it if you want.
To verify the newest version http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606
1. Download the version that you want to install.
2. Access console pressing ctrl+alt+f1 (Don’t do it know!)
3. $ cd /download/place/
4. Close the GDM (Gnome Desktop Manager) using: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
5. Run the installer: $ sudo sh ./Nxxx.run (maybe you will need to use chmod +x Nxxx.run)
6. During the installation choose “Update xorg.conf automaticlly..
7. Reboot your system: sudo reboot
