I got the kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/, and I downloaded the latest nvidia driver from ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/ (you can get 32-bit ones from that site as well). To install it, you have to change to a console (ctrl-alt-f1), log in, do "sudo killall gdm" to kill the X session, run the installer with "sh <name of file>", and then reboot.
I'm using nvidia 185.18.14, which runs great (it's faster than the 180 series), and I used the attached script which I found somewhere to install it to dkms so it rebuilds automatically when you install new kernels (you have to uninstall the restricted drivers or envy-ng, whichever you used before). You can remove old nvidia modules from dkms with the command "sudo dmks remove -m nvidia -v 185.18.14 --all" (where 185.18.14 is the version; put the appropriate version in instead). ** Attachment added: "installdkms.sh" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27491759/installdkms.sh -- iwlagn/dhclient fails to get IP address by dhcp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
