I can't seem to get my Nvidia card installed on Ubuntu 9.04. I went to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, and I clicked on Activate the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 180) [Recommended]. But when I do that it doesn't download and install the driver? Any idea why? Or is there another option I can try?

Try installing and running the 'Envy NG' program.

It is designed to download and install the nvidia driver easily.
