Hi every one,
I just switched over to ubuntu 9.04 about 3 weeks ago, installed ubuntu 9.04 x64, then whent about installing some of my games, when i tryed to play them i got a error saying that my system did not meet the requirement for the game, i looked around on the net for some help and found that i just had to install new drivers for my Nvidia GTX 260, so i follow a guide i found on how to do that and when my pc restarted Gnome would not start up, so i try re-installed Ubuntu and the Nvidia drivers and the same thing happend, i have reinstalled about 15 times every time trying a new help guide but i can't seem to find one that leves me with a working pc at the end of it.
At the moment I'm just running my PC on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.04 x64. Dose any one know where i can find help setting up Ubuntu 9.04 x64 so that my pc is not just a very expensive calculator.
Hear is my Setup:
Motherbord: nForce 780i 3-way SLI
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad
RAM: 8GB
Video Cards: 2x Nvidia GTX 260
Sound Card: N/A Waiting to get Ubuntu working before buying a new one.
Moniter 01: Samsung SyncMaster 2233BW
Moniter 02: Samsung LCD 32" LA32A550P1FXXY
If any one has a simmler setup to mine or knows where to find a guide (for some one that is new to Ubuntu and linux) that has how to set up a system the same or simmler to mine then please let me know, i don't want to go back to using Windows as my primery OS.
Thanks to any one that can Help in advance.
