Ubuntu Nvidia Driver Problems
linux No Comments »Sometimes after apply updates to my ubuntu desktop via the package manager the nvidia driver seems to get ‘lost’. This article describes a solution. My variation on that theme is:
sudo aptitude search linux-restricted-modules
have a bit of a look at what is available. For me, this last time I needed:
sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-15-generic
Then
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
?
