Okokokok, need help before I throw my rig out the freakin' window...
I'm trying to install my 8400GS on Ubuntu 11.10 and when I run the file provided by nVidia, I get the following:
When I try and boot it whilst I'm plugged directly into the card, I get a wall of Courier New with a couple of "FAIL"s by some stuff I don't understand. If that's relevant, I'll get the specifics but in the mean time, HELP! :'(
N.B. I'm new to Linux, so as much detail as possible so I can get more familiar with the system. Thanks. :>
