NVIDIA Proprietary drivers not working in Ubuntu 12.10

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 6521 / 3 Years ago, fri, august 27, 2021, 4:22:07

I tried all proprietary drivers for my NVIDIA GTS450 graphics card, and after rebooting my PC, i get a very low resolution, and no desktop environment. I've tried the experimental 304 version and both other available versions as well. I am wondering if it has to do something with my PC, or the drivers haven't been optimized to support 12.10 yet?

I had the same problem. I used the "Software Sources" utility to change the driver. The install seemed to complete without any error message. On reboot, I got a low resolution screen. However, the nvidia driver was not installed. I used apt-get to install it again, then I saw an error. It complained that kernel sources weren't installed.

Ensure that you have linux-source and linux-headers installed and try again.
