This time I have installed kubuntu to test out and it's all so new. With ubuntu I know how to install video drivers but it's not where I thought it would be in kubuntu. I'm half tempted to un-install it and install ubuntu instead as It's slightly more familiar. I don't have too much of an aversion to learning new things but as I said earlier, life really is too short and it can be like swimming in treacle trying to find specific answers for this on the net. Be still my impatient mind. So I need to find out how to install drivers for my Nvidia7600GT and KN9 Ultra MoBo onboard sound card. I'm guessing that this should be done inside kubuntu rather than trying to find the driver, downloading and then installing it myself, but I'm not that sure. I know I'm going to (have to) read through this thread again and extract pertinent links. My flaky memory spills information like a leaky bucket looses water on the way back from the well. It's not that efficient but over the years the path from the well gets more beautiful as the dry ground gets watered and flowers bloom all along. Time to go grasshopper.

[quote] Install Latest nvidia/ATI drivers sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx //Note: This can break your installation. If you have newer hardware or are using Tribe 4 or newer, it is recommended to install nvidia-glx-new instead. If by chance you realize that you messed up after the fact, use 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and change your graphics card to 'nv' and then install the newer package after the jump. [/quote] I have only just installed the OS so how this is meant to help a new user is just plain bad planning in my mind. Aaaaanywayyyy, back to the drudge of reading dry incomprehensible "help" pages on the kununtu guide pages :) [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/4175]Tao[/url] on 08-30-2007 13:11)[/small] Loading...
