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.
I am a fairly new user of Ubuntu, and currently have two 12.04 installations, one of which seems to work ok but I have two problems. The problem I'm asking about in this question, is that the Dash search seems unable to find things, such as "additional drivers" or "update".
I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a Powermac G5. When I try to launch Additional Drivers to install the driver for ATI Radeon 9600, it crashes. I found the following traceback on terminal when I ran jockey-text.
I simply was looking at the default drivers it gave me (under System Settings->Additional Drivers) and I selected version 96 and activated it. After it installed it asked me to restart, and I did. Now it will not boot back up; the problem is that LightDM will not come up.
I am new to Ubuntu, and I need to know a command to shut down all drivers or something.
Hey I'm using xnmcbuntu and all I have is terminal to work with I can open most things like synaptic and software center what's the command for the additional drivers app?

Has anyone else noticed that the Graphics details in System Settings -> Details is not available, while its easily available from the Additional Drivers window?
As far as I know, the System Settings -> Details application is controlled by Gnome. I haven't checked this screen with open source drivers enabled, but I assume it works for them.
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.
