Install the NVIDIA driver in Ubuntu, and solve terminal issues.

After installing the NVIDIA official driver, it feels much faster than nouvean.

It is easy to install the driver, but pay attention to which driver to choose. Because today I tried multiple NVIDIA drivers and it was not good to use them in Ubuntu.

My current environment is:

[email protected]:~/projects/tfradius$ uname -aLinux tfAnalysis 3.13.0-35-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 15 01:58:01 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

My computer is NVIDIA geforce 310m graphics card, after testing I use NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.46.run and other newer drivers will appear terminal gravel situation:

When the gnome-terminal's scroll bar reaches the bottom, it will often encounter a bulk of content displayed on the terminal with the cursor flashing at the same time, causing great trouble to use. The use of the xterm terminal will not cause such problems.

 

Only using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-331.49.run won't go wrong.

Installing the NVIDIA driver is simple:

1. CTRL + ALT + F1 switch to tty1

2. Execute sudo stop lightdm to stop the logon Manager (meaning to stop the CTRL + ALT + F7 Interface );

3. Run the./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-331.49.run to start the installation (you need to set the file to executable before running );

4. Restart the machine with sudo reboot.
