Sikh Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Share the guide, it would be nice to see it. Also another way of "archiving" it on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowanvista Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Had a headache with that thing, in my case the unity/desktop wouldn't load with the Nvidia driver. It had something to do with an Ubuntu bug with headers iirc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medhunter Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 after so much headache and raised blood presser i got the nvidia driver to install and work properly very happy to be on 12.10 same here (happy with my 12.10 unity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpGreen Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yea I had a bunch of trouble making 12.10 work with my nVIDIA card as well. Still doesn't recognize that I'm using the nvidia driver...but it works, so I don't care. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0rk_b0mb Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 May I recommend you try Kubuntu in the future? It's so much more polished (and prettier IMO) than unity. I've been meaning to post a setup guide/how to, but I've just been busy lately. Maybe I should get around to that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0rk_b0mb Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 You can install KDE for Ubuntu too iirc via Terminal ? Yes. sudo apt-get install kde-full If you're thinking about trying it, I'd highly recommend this tweak guide: http://www.simplepre...llation-tuning/ and If you have an ugly boot screen after drivers: http://news.softpedi...04-140810.shtml On KDE, replace the commands gksu with sudo and gedit with kate. Guess I'd better start working on that guide. Detection 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
