  1. Re: HOWTO: Automatically update manually installed NVidia drivers after kernel update

    I think I figured out why I couldn't update this script last time I installed a new driver.
    DO'H! When all else fails - read the instructions.

    I didn't remove the 2 files - old driver and the...
  2. Re: HOWTO: Automatically update manually installed NVidia drivers after kernel update

    I tried all of that 7 or 8 times at least. It did not work. I tried the same thing many times in the past. Each...

    I am not sure what kernels you could use for Maverick but for Lucid these are how I removed and reinstalled the kernel to test this script:

  9. Re: HOWTO: Automatically update manually installed NVidia drivers after kernel update

    Just thought I would mention this: in order to update the nvidia driver to the newest one (like I just did) you need to
    uninstall the previous version and manually install the new one first. Then...
  10. Re: HOWTO: Automatically update manually installed NVidia drivers after kernel update

    Had to jump through several hoops to get my NVIDIA X Server Settings back under System > Preferences.
    And then a few more hoops to get the icon back like it was, but what the heck, it was fun!

    I just upgraded my nvidia geforce 9800 gt with default Lucid drivers (195 something) to the latest driver released this month - version 260.19.44
