Ok folks, I finally got this animal taken care of!! It took a little doing but this is my version of how I installed the NVIDIA drivers on Ultimate Edition 3.5, Kernel 3.6.0-11 Liquorix-amd64 :
1) First enter the terminal, then enter root:
- Code: Select all
sudo -s
once this is done, then enter the password.
2) Once in root, Kill the X configuration. Type and enter:
- Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/lightdm stop
3) Press CTRL-ALT-F1 to start a terminal
4) You will need to log in first, then enter root again.
Next, find the downloaded file dir ,then cd {folder name} This will put you in the folder where the file is located- after you find it first.
5) Then type and enter:
- Code: Select all
sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.19.run
6) Once the program is running, AGREE to everything. Once the program is finished
exit from root and restart.
I am still a newbie at all this but, I had to go on YouTube to find some more ideas on how to do this when I ran into snags. Ultimate Edition 3.5 is deffinately an animal to contend with. It`s not like alot of other distros out there. So I had to take the info I got here, and there, and finally came up with a solution that worked! Oh and I did this all while I was in KDE Openbox. After I rebooted everything worked just great! Problem solved.. on to the next big project!! Thanks again guys!! You too Pam.
