Install the latest NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu

After recovering X in the previous article,I didn't want to install the NVIDIA driver provided by Ubuntu anymore,Later I thought ~ NVIDIA seems to provide a Linux version of the driver,Would it be a bit better? So I went to the official website to search and download it。

  至官網依照晶片選擇所屬driver後下載的會是一個.run的檔案接著重開機選Recovery模式再選擇「Resume normal boot」這邊若要選擇Root也不是不行只是會在安裝Driver時出現警告訊息建議你別用root身份安裝

  進command prompt後sudo執行剛剛下載的.run程式接下來一直yes..yes就可以了

  建議在安裝前可先至「系統」-「管理」-「硬體驅動程式」把舊的driver給取消啟用。安裝完畢後,可至「系統」-「偏好設定」-「NVIDIA X Server Settings」確認目前使用的版本

2010.1.9補充

  • .run檔案需先給予執行權限可在右鍵內屬性的權限標籤找到
  • 當kernel有更新時可能需要重裝不然xorg.conf設定可能會出現錯誤訊息
