After downloading the driver, install the driver. However, you have to prepare for the installation. Some basic requirements must be met:
F you wish to install the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver on a Debian GNU/Linux or Ubuntu system that ships with Xorg 7.x, please ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

* Development tools like make and gcc are installed
* The linux-headers package matching the installed Linux kernel is installed
* The pkg-config and xserver-xorg-dev packages are installed
* The nvidia-glx package has been uninstalled with the -- purge option and the files/etc/init. d/nvidia-glx and/etc/init. d/nvidia-kernel do not exist
If you use Ubuntu, please also ensure that the linux-restricted-modules or linux-restricted-modules-common packages have been uninstalled. alternatively, you can edit the/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules or/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common configuration file and disable the NVIDIA linux-restricted kernel modules (nvidia, nvidia_legacy):

DISABLED_MODULES = "nv nvidia_new"
Additionally, delete the following file if it exists:
/Lib/linux-restricted-modules/. nvidia_new_installed
Please note: unfortunately, it has become difficult to keep track of the pre-/post-installation steps required for [K] Ubuntu, and the above instructions may be incomplete. if in doubt, it is recommended that you use your distributor's NVIDIA Linux graphics driver packages, exclusively.
It's easy to understand in English.
After the preparation is complete, press Ctrl + Alt + BackSpace to return to the console and enter the directory where the driver is located.
Code:
Sudo./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.07-pkg2.run
Select Accept, and then select No, Yes.
After installation, do not forget to run Nvidia-xconfig, and then Startx, OK!
The VirtualBox and Compiz problems that have plagued me for a long time have been solved. Happy!
However, there is still a small problem. In XP, It is easy not to click to run the desktop. Otherwise, the interface will be very ugly.
