[zeemga]

I just changed my current windows xp and install to new copy Linux Ubuntu 10.0 OS and I require for obtaining the 3d acceleration to perform inside my computer, but however “Hardware Drivers" doesn't come to an end installing the drivers (nvidia-3D) - it does not illustrate any errors whatever. What's more, I attempted to install Nvidia 3D driver manually but then also it cannot able to install inside my system. By telling that the current installation which are you trrying is failed. In addition I checked nvidia.com website for their driver setup file but it won’t able to find out as well. Any ideas? That why I can’t able to install the drivers. Does anyone have any suggestion how I will able to install the driver for.

Unluckily, you will come across yourself continuously with no a appropriate NVIDIA driver during the improvement process of the operating system. The constrained drivers (particularly graphics driver) are given a very miniature priority. NVIDIA frequently don't include support for a kernel until it's complete, and Ubuntu kernel is at present based of 10.0.0 or so. Try to "Renew" driver, or try to apply patch and manually build the NVIDIA driver (if you can come across patches alongside for the Ubuntu’s kernel edition). Even poorer for you is that you may using the second-oldest inheritance edition of the driver, which is given a small priority by NVIDIA.

1. Be certain that you contain the kernel-sources, gcc as well as build packages installed.
   
2. you will require to download the driver from the Nviida website
   
3. try to go to runlevel without going through GUI by Debian/Ubuntu users may require to use /etc/initrd/gdm stop alternatively.
   
4. you will require login inside the root user.
   
5. Install the driver which you downloaded as NVIDIA-1.0.8174.run
6. If it offer you any of the fault below, overlook them and continue:
   
7. Remain with logged in as root as well as type modprobs nvidia
   
8. Alter your /etc/X12/xorg.conf in the division marked "Devices"
9. Modify the "nv" column to "nvidia"
   
10. Log out as root, and again in as a normal user, then type startx
    
11. If you observe the Nvidia symbol flash then you're completed.

Since I hadn't concerned about graphic card drivers, I embedded that I just wanted to install the nvidia driver. So i release up the terminal, log in as root as well as type nvidia 3D drivers. The program says that libgl quarrel with the nvidia drivers and asks for authorization to eliminate libgl, so I allow it. i expected it to get rid of libgl and begin downloading as well as installing the fresh drivers, but it just froze (presently at the terminal). I consider that perhaps KDE was with libgl and that it couldn't be stroke at the time, so I restart Arch to get the control line, constant the 3D drivers and got precisely the similar result: it froze. I opened a subsequent console and ran 'top', but installation is not completed.

If you have the Nouveau driver loaded inside the nvidia installer would encompass to decline to install the driver at the very start. The distribution offer pre-install script unsuccessful is benevolent I get that too even while it’s not wanted. The nvidia driver is the problem and it will not carry on with it missing. Did you install the most recent kernel representation? The auto updates conceal the level 4 as well as 5 which is what those are located at. To modernize the kernel, open the Mint Update guard. Then select edit then go to inclination. Make the 4 as well as 5 level observable. Then select apply. Then refresh the updates and then they will be scheduled. Install all those updates. Then attempt set up the driver once more after a restart.
