[HOWTO] Install NVIDIA drivers manually on Lynx

I read somewhere that they changed the way nvidia drivers get installed on Lynx (correct me if i`m wrong), so it took me some time to figure out how to do that. So, here is the guide:


1) Download Newest Nvidia drivers from their website
2) Open module blacklist as admin: (i use gedit for text file editing)

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

3) Add these lines and save:

Code:

blacklist vga16fb
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv

4) Uninstall any previously installed Nvidia drivers:

Code:

sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*

5) Reboot your computer
6) When an error message pops up saying that Ubuntu cannot load Nvidia drivers, choose Exit to terminal (Exit to console)
7) Login and cd to the directory where you saved your file
Install drivers

Code:

sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.24-pkg2.run

9) Start GDM

Code:

sudo service gdm start

Enjoy
