Then get the NVIDIA 185.18.14 stuff from the NVIDIA website. </p> <p>Follow the instructions from there to recompile the NVIDIA driver. It's usually something along the lines of:</p> <ul> <li>drop out of the X session to a command line login, </li> <li>login as root</li> <li>do sh NVIDIA-185.18.14-name-of-package to run it</li> <li>it'll go away try and find a suitable recompiled package </li> <li>then offer to compile a new one if it can't find one</li> <li>and finally attempt to install it for you.</li> </ul> <p>As ever YMMV. </p>AmosMon, 24 May 2010 22:28:41 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/609/will-nvidia-driver-185xxxx-work-on-kubuntu-lucid-lynx/699http://linuxexchange.org/questions/609/will-nvidia-driver-185xxxx-work-on-kubuntu-lucid-lynx/611<p>I currently have 195.36.15 installed under Lucid Lynx.</p>mackalSat, 15 May 2010 21:08:50 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/609/will-nvidia-driver-185xxxx-work-on-kubuntu-lucid-lynx/611http://linuxexchange.org/questions/609/will-nvidia-driver-185xxxx-work-on-kubuntu-lucid-lynx/610<p>It doesn't answer exactly your question but you can try with a live cd.</p> <p>No installation, no risk</p>martvefunSat, 15 May 2010 14:58:48 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/609/will-nvidia-driver-185xxxx-work-on-kubuntu-lucid-lynx/610
