I currently have installed the hardware driver for my nvidia card that installed automatically when i installed the my 9.10 OS, i just wanted to install the latest one from the Nvidia website which are the 190.53 and the ones i have are version 185. I downloaded the file from Nvidia website with the following name "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run" but when i double click it i get the following error. Im sure i'm doing something wrong here, just wanted to see what you guys recommend doing. Thanks

Thank you for your quick reply, i actually went added the nvidia rep

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa

Then went to synaptic and searched "nvidia" the latest drivers where right at the top of the results, so i removed everything that had to do with the old drivers and installed the new ones.
