Current NVIDIA Drivers for Ubuntu Natty

Jul 31, 2011

If you are looking for current NVIDIA drivers for Ubuntu Natty (11.04), my new PPA may be of interest to you. It hosts an Ubuntu port of the current release version 275.21 of the NVIDIA Linux driver.

To install:

sudo apt-add-repository \
   ppa:thilo.ginkel/nvidia-graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Caution: There are some reports on the nvnews.net forums that this driver version breaks Gnome / GTK applications under certain circumstances, which I can neither confirm nor deny as I am using KDE (but GTK apps work correctly for me). You have been warned, use at your own risk.
