NVIDIA driver installation problem
I just lost my Beloved windows on a laptop. So i decided to install ubuntu. (12.10). Whenever i press the home button the screen goes crasy and the computer eventually dies. I blame my NVIDIA drivers for this.
So i was going to install the new driver. It's friggin' hard though.
I downloaded the file named: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run
Then i went in to ctr+alt+f1
There i write
(Login)
sudo service lightdm stop
cd /home/gustaf(my name)/Desktop
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run
And it launches....
Everything goes as i want it to until i reach the "kernel part" of the installation.
Then i get the error message:
ERROR: Unable to determine the verision of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/build'. Blah blah blah
Any ideas on what to do? Thank you
If i knew how to fin out i would of course write the name of my graphics card here
