After thinking of a way to maximize my U-Box i noticed that Ubunutu 8.10 seem to have a bug on NVIDIA graphics driver, whenever I try to install the driver via hardware drivers. Eventually I managed to install the my graphics driver here is what I did:
- Enter the NVIDIA website, www.nvidia.com, go to download drivers and select Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris Drivers under other downloads and support.
- Download the driver that suites your harware in my case i used Latest Legacy GPU version (173.14.xx series).
- download the driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.20.pkg1.run
- Press ctrl + alt + f1
- supply the username and password if asked.
- enter sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop this will stop your x-server in preparation to install the driver
- enter sudo sh /path of your package/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.20.pkg1.run
- enter sudo reboot
- enjoy your ubuntu 8.10!
