So I figured anything about that one would do the same. I think it is the Nvidia prime part that doesn't work for me.

Yes I did try to install that driver but after install the fan never stopped. After 10 minutes of listening to the fan I started to worry about heat frying the old computer, so I removed that driver. Replace with the 352 and no roaring fan. Weird?

The nvidia-370 is the latest driver. the oldest is the 340.

A really old HP laptop with a nvidia card. For years I had the legacy driver working on 14.04 LTS and then during an update, not sure when, things went back to neauvou. Neauvou doesn't play well with this old computer and that is why I was using a legacy driver. For a few years things were running really well untill it slipped back to neauvou.
I have nvidia 352 installed now and it is ok, I get the 1024 X 768 resolution, no over heating but it isn't as nice as it once was.
It is my mess around with Kubuntu computer.
A few years back there was a buntu forum where I got the info on how to install the legacy drivers. I don't have the link anymore and I think it was on a forum that is no longer up and running.

but to make sure this is even useful for you, what version of Kubuntu are you on, and what is your graphics card? That driver may not even build on systems newer than 12.04

No it didn't become executable but then I remembered that maybe there is an sh before /NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run so I added it. Then I received a message that the run file is for the linux -x86 platform but you appear to be running the linux-x86_64. Aborting installation. Yep they are correct I am running 64 bit so now I need to find another file.
Thanks and now I know how to make the install executable.

How do I use a run file to install nvidia driver
I need to use a run file but can't remember how to use it.
Using an on-line tutorial I used a run file one time but I've lost that link.
I want to purge current nvidia and install the 96.43.23 driver. So I will need to install the run file, purge nvidia and then install the rivers.
The run file is located in /home/my user name/Downloads/
The name of the package is NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-d...23-driver.html
Ideas are appreciated.Tags: None
