Install Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu Ubuntu


Nvidia drivers are already present in the Ubuntu repositories, we all know, but I am a Geek, not enough for me .... So I'll share how to install them using the original drivers that nvidia's mother found here http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
just select your GPU then operating system, usually the drivers are both 32 and 64 bits architecture.

Once you download the saved in a folder that you created earlier.
Now open the folder and create a script with gedit, paste this code

# / bin / sh

sudo service gdm stop
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.29.run -a ---> variable *
sudo / etc / init.d / gdm start



and save it with a name that has the extension . sh, the only variable in this code is the line * "sudo. / NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64 -260.19.29.run -a" which contains the driver name that changes with each version, the rest remains unchanged, then you have to copy the exact name of the downloaded file.
close
good gedit Now click with the right button of the script icon and select Properties , then go to the Permissions tab , and select the Run item and close, the same thing with the driver files.

Now before you run the file if you open some applications close it, why should we close the GDM and then automatically restart it later.

nomescelto.sh Now click on the icon, do not worry what you'll see is the login in the text, Accreditatie with your name, then enter the password sent in, now you will be prompt like this: @ luca64 luca64-desktop: ~ $ now you have to move to the directory you created, and write after the dollar . / nomescelto.sh
then send enter your password when prompted, follow the instructions on the screen, always select ok after a while you have installed your Nvidia driver, will restart the GDM and the control panel you'll find it at -> System -> Preferences -> NVIDIA X SERVER SETTING.

Finished.
