Hello :)
Am trying trying to install the driver for my new card but am getting tons of obstacles that I have solved but now am stuck at that error
the distribution-provided pre-install script failed!
these are the commands that i have used so far and am stuck at that error
Hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login using your credentials.
kill your current X server session by typing sudo service lightdm stop or sudo lightdm stop
Enter runlevel 3 by typing sudo init 3
Install your .run file. you change to the directory where you have downloaded the file by typing for instance cd Downloads. If it is in another directory, go there. Check if you see the file when you type ls NVIDIA Make the file executable with chmod +x ./your-nvidia-file.run Execute the file with sudo ./your-nvidia-file.run
You might be required to reboot when the installation finishes. If not, run sudo service lightdm start or sudo start lightdm to start your X server again.
It’s worth mentioning, that when installed this way, you’d have to redo the steps after each kernel update.
