is your 'xorg.conf' exist? try to run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' before 'sudo nvidia-settings'.

ok! maybe your graphics card driver has not been installed yet. go to restricted hardware and select the recommended one and install it. then do the nvidia-config thing. This should work, happens the same to me.
