Systemd works great here. Upstart is not worth messing with and I don't care to invest the time that it would take to get it working properly. I'll just use systemd.
I believe it's only available on vanilla Ubuntu and Xubuntu but I haven't, nor do I care to at this point peruse the manifests of all the flavors again.
My nVidia card is pretty old now and it won't hold up to the new driver versions any more.
I remember back on Lucid Lynx I was able to install the most latest driver directly from nVidia's website but not any more.
I also haven't been able to update the driver on my windows 7 install in a few years either. Every time I did I would have to roll it back.
Here's what I have on all my systems I believe it is all of them anyway.
Code:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia
ii nvidia-304-updates 304.125-0ubuntu2 amd64 NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.125
ii nvidia-libopencl1-304-updates 304.125-0ubuntu2 amd64 NVIDIA OpenCL Driver and ICD Loader library
ii nvidia-opencl-icd-304-updates 304.125-0ubuntu2 amd64 NVIDIA OpenCL ICD
ii nvidia-settings 346.59-0ubuntu1 amd64 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
I'll probably hold out a while on jumping into the next developmental version though. Will have to wait and see.
