Install nvidia drivers ubuntu 12.049/22/2023 I guess it's your lucky day, because I'm going to give you the solution! So, how do I get to driver version 173, with post-release updates included, under 12.04 (the process apears to be different to 11.10)? For example the 'Additional Drivers' applet told me that I had a'current version' driver installed (but what version ?), that it was activated but not in use (!) and the only option I had was to remove it. The result was a progressive descent into chaos. I abandoned the first after following advice available via Google on adding ppas which would pick up the latest nVidia drivers. This is the seond install of 12.04 in 12 hours. I am asking how to install an updated driver - proprietary if necessary - that will make better use of the card and give me an nVidia Xserver settings applet, in a way that really works. ![]() Under 12.04 I don't have those functions. Under 11.10 I was able to install an Ubuntu recommended driver version 173, which also gave me access to nVidia Xerver settings applet. ![]() A default 'clean' install of 12.04 does not appear to install a video driver which will fully exploit my (old) nVidia card (Geforce FX5200).
