How to install the latest NVIDIA 13.10 driver in Ubuntu 331.20

Sometimes installing a new version of the NVIDIA driver may cause some trouble, especially when you are not used to operating in Linux.

At this time, this tutorial can play a role, it can help ordinary users benefit from the latest NVIDIA driver 331.20.

There are two ways to install the NVIDIA driver in Ubuntu. One is simple and the other is difficult. The simplest method is straightforward, but you need to be able to connect to the network. This method will also bring you into the wonderful world of PPA.

Ubuntu 13.10, like its predecessors, has a large software warehouse for use, but Canonical developers did not upload the latest driver for various considerations. Most importantly, they will not take the risk of uploading a software that has not proved its stability.

Fortunately, we have PPA for use, and the latest driver is available in PPA, and the driver will be added in one or two days after the official release of the new driver. You only need to enter the command in the terminal (of course you need to have the root permission ):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppasudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install nvidia-331

If you have installed an old version of the driver, you need to replace the last command in the above command with the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade command.

After completing these steps, restart your computer and install the new driver. For the next NVIDIA driver update, you only need to update the system without adding a PPA.

The second method is a bit complicated, but you do not need to connect to the Internet (you need to download the driver first and do not need to connect to the Internet during installation ). We will use the 64-bit driver as an example.

You must press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to enter the real terminal ), then, log on with the user name and password. Next, you need to run the cd command to enter the location where your driver is placed (such as the Downloads directory) and then enter the following command:

sudo service lightdm stop sudo chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20.runsudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20.runsudo reboot
