Reinstall Nvidia Driver
For those of you, who use the original NVIDIA display driver and have to reinstall it with every kernel update: Here is a little bashscript for your convenience.
#!/bin/bash
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
sudo chvt 1
sudo sh ~/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-*.run --ui='none' -aNq
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
sudo chvt 7
Save it e.g. as ~/.bin/nv_reinst.sh
, make it executable (chmod +x ~/.bin/nv_reinst.sh
). Then put your NVIDIA driver (only the newest version please) into ~/Downloads/
(or change the path above). Now run your script.
Attention: Save all your work, since kdm will be stopped! You’ll lose all unsaved work!
