I try to install the Nvidia driver 340.93 on Kubuntu 15.10 x64 (graphic card: GTX 690). I performed the following steps:




  1. Go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

  2. Download Latest Legacy GPU version (340.xx series): 340.93

  3. sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.93.run



Then I got the error message:




The distribution-provided pre-install script failed! Continue installation anyway?"




enter image description here



What could cause this issue?



Continuing the installation fails (black screen, need to remove Nvidia drivers).

    sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
