In Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal), there is no additional drivers section in system settings, in fact, it has moved to a new tab in software sources.
OK so I just got Ubuntu the other month or so. I'm running the 11.04 version currently and trying to install drivers for a Nvidia graphics card (it's my brother's computer and he currently cannot find the number of the card right now). I read that, to install the proper drivers for gaming, I would need to go into "Additional Drivers" and choose them myself.
Hey!
I can't see any additional drivers on the Software Sources -> Additional Drivers tab. It is all empty. Does this just simply mean that there are no additional drivers available for my computer?
And, what are the commands to find out if Ubuntu even detects my hardware? I have a wireless card and ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card.
Lenovo laptop W520 has two graphics cards: Integrated and nVidia. Ubuntu 10.10 had worked with Integrated graphics card and driver. Since I used System->Administration->Additional Drivers to activate nVidia, after reboot I have only terminal login now and no more graphics. Thanks.
I am using ubuntu gnome remix 12.10 with ATI mobility radeon HD 4300 graphics card. Software sources do not show any additional drivers. How do I install the graphics drivers for my system?
$ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV710 [Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series]
Hey guys, I've been using ubuntu without installing any of the additional drivers. If I do click there, it says I should allow the installation of my nvidia 305m driver. I was wondering that if I did this, whether or not my battery life will decrease? Can someone tell me if it will or not? I feel like the nvidia card would eat up more battery.
I want to get a new laptop with a decent graphics card. I don't care that nVidia's drivers are closed source as long as they're good. I've heard that ATI drivers are buggier and I was wondering which card would be best. I have options like GT 240M, GT 320M, Radeon HD 4670. In theory I think 4670 is fastest, but if it is going to cause computer bugs it's not what I want. So my question is...
I've dual-boot my Ubuntu 12.10 and I had my default 12.04 LTS problem, it is the Graphics. Usually I use the "Additional Drivers" to check out my "hidden" Graphics card. But after I replace the Precise with Quantal, I didn't found my "Additional Drivers" in System Settings!! I already download from Ubuntu Software Center, and after it finish I still can't find it.
I currently have a intel GMA4500X and games run at a blazing 10FPS (TORCS) so i got a nvidia GT 240. No drivers (the nvidia site lied!) so i got a GTS 250 which I KNEW had drivers. it doesn't fit. I am looking for a gfx card WITH drivers that isn't bigger than the GT 240. ATI or nVidia is fine.
