    No, just i didn't see where to change, and how to use this site in order to download or install something from it.

    This is not a ppa, it's just an archive with older packages.

    i386: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise...90.10-0ubuntu2
    amd64: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise...90.10-0ubuntu2

    Under "Downloadable files" you can find the direct links, uninstall nvidia-current from repository first, then download the package from the archive and install it. You probably have to freeze the package in Synaptics, so that it cannot be updated.
    Thank you.

    Update: Driver 302 is also tearing free. You can find it in the X-Swat PPA...

    Here is how to install the absolute latest drivers from nVidia:

    I haven't tried it on Precise but others have. I am getting ready to as I just backed up my system with fsarchiver.

    There is also a ppa you can add to get the latest stable nVidia driver:

    I just installed the xswat ppa and updated the driver. Rebooting and will let you know how it works.

    I am now using 295.49 and it appears to work well. Checked out a youtube video and it was OK.
    Everything else looks good.

    While the xswat ppa insalled a file called nvidia current 302.17-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1,
    which appears to be driver version 302.17.
    It is 295.49 actually and I have no problems with it. The latest driver according to nVidia is 295.59.

    No, it's 302. You can see the version of the driver in the Nvidia settings.

    Not sure I should have updated the driver in 12.04. Youtube works fine but, facebook videos do not work at all.
    I may try to restore my system and see it that fixes it.

    Formated the partition Precise was on and restored it from a backup and I still have driver version 295.49

    Not sure what to make of that. The xswat ppa and all of that is gone.
