install NVIDIA driver in ubuntu

  • There is a bug with nvidia and the stock 3.8.0-19 kernel in ubuntu 13.04 use the mainline kernel
    • Not doing this can result in not being able to boot
  • Install the driver by running sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-313-updates nvidia-settings-313-updates
    • If you want the beta driver use the xorg edgers ppa, then install nvidia-319 nvidia-settings-319
      sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa -y; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get install nvidia-319 nvidia-settings-319 -y
