NVIDIA graphics controller in Ubuntu 10.04

Since the release of Ubuntu 10.04 , many (including myself) have had problems with drivers NVIDIA graphics cards . This is because by default in this distribution is free nouveau driver that although there are cases in which no-hassle, in others yes.

following a few simple steps to replace that driver with the official and get more stability and performance. Previous recommendations

:

- Have the system with latest updates installed.
- official NVIDIA driver downloaded from here
- Package compilation: sudo apt-get install build-essential

Disabling nouveau:

Go to Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

$ sudo gedit / etc / modprobe.d / blacklist.conf

opens an editor and late all, put the following:

vga16fb
blacklist blacklist blacklist nouveau
rivafb
blacklist blacklist nvidiafb
rivatv

Save the file and go back to Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

$ sudo apt-get - purge remove nvidia-*
$ sudo apt-get - purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

Restart and now the screen resolution should be amended because nouveau not in use, go to Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type :

gdm stop $ sudo service

Now login with your username and password and enter:

$ chmod + x nombre_archivo.run & & sudo. / nombre_archivo.run
(assuming the file is placed in your home folder)

Note: Where reference is made nombre_archivo.run the previously downloaded file name, ie, the driver.

now start a wizard and following the steps you will have the driver installed. Now reboot to use the new configuration by typing:

$ sudo reboot
