How are you struggling exactly? Have you followed the standard guides to install nvidia drivers? Which driver are you trying to install?

 

[MyWorld]

Road Runner, search the Ubuntu wiki for "nvidia drivers" and there should be a proper step-by-step on installing the drivers. Nvidia is very well supported in Linux.

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

Then type the command in.
e.g

sudo apt-get install <package name>

Ok i used "Kmenu / system / adept" GUI! Ha.. Ha.. Running on full power after update tool did its thing, so lets see what happens.

I like both Gnome and KDE..
Nice to have both installed and depending on the mood I'm in... load it.

I'm pretty new to Linux, installed Ubuntu 8.04 about a month back. Got everything up and running fine. Tried Kubuntu 8.04 a couple days ago and I definitely found it a lot more difficult.
