Run nvidia latest driver on 12.10 Unity crashed
Hi,
I tried to install NVIDIA latest driver on Ubuntu 12.10 running below commands:-
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings
Reboot the system.
After rebooting, Unity/LaunchPad
Re-run Ubuntu installation overwrite the previous installation and get a clean Ubuntu 12.10 back to normal.
Reason to install latest driver for NVIDIA as the screen brightness could not be adjusted properly even using the Function key to reduce/increase brightness. Overall it impacted my laptop's battery performance.
My laptop config as per below:-
RAM - 4GB
Processor - Intel Core i5-2410M CPU@2.30GHzx4
Graphics - NVIDIA Geforce GT520M
OS - 32 bit Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop
