Install Nvidia Drivers in Ubuntu 15.04
Lets remove first everything that point to any existing nvidia installation.
open a terminal (ctrr+alt+t) and type:
sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
sudo apt-get autoremove
update and download a few tools that we will need:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic
Now its time to blacklist the nouveau driver.
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
and add the following lines:
blacklist nouveau blacklist lbm-nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 alias nouveau off alias lbm-nouveau off
Disable the Kernel nouveau by typing the following commands:
echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
Now go to nvidia.com and download the driver for your graphic card.
The file name should be something like that “NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.21.run” depends on the architecture of your machine and the version of the driver.
