This is how I install nvidia drivers (note that you will need to install everytime you upgrade your kernel, since I don't know if there is an automated script)
go in tty1 (CTRL+ALT+F1) logon sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop (or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop) cd directory_where_the_driver_is chmod +x driver_name sudo ./driver_name sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start (or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start) have fun (I prefer to reboot the machine when I install a driver, but I'm pretty sure this is not needed) --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033263 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 freezes with nvidia drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1033263/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
