3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for NVIDIA cards. Video card causing trouble - PC heats up & shuts down. If I disable the driver - will PC go back to 'regular' graphics? Or will I need to physically open Pc & remove the card (Will get a friend to help).
Specs: AMD Athlon XP 2400+ @ 1987 MHz / 2 x 512MB PC3200 DDR RAM / 128MB GeForce 6200 AGP / WD 160GB IDE HDD / FIC AM37 / DB: XP Pro SP3 & Ubuntu 9.10 Intel g33 g31 driver.
Hi all,
How can the answer be improved? https://tofucelher.tistory.com/2.
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (within XP) on my desktop for the first time and I am trying to install the driver for my graphics card. I went to the NVIDIA site to download the Linux 32-bit version of the GeForce 6-series driver, which comes in a .run format. I double click on it and it begins to load in gedit, but it is unsuccessful because the character coding couldn't be detected. I tried running it in Terminal, but permission was denied. So, I searched how to open a .run file and came to here where I used the 'chmod 755 [filename].run' in Terminal.
Now it can start uncompressing but now I get a new message saying 'ERROR: nvidia-installer must be run as root'. I have no clue what to do now.. since I am a noob. Adobe premiere pro cc serial key. XD
How should I be going about this? Thanks in advance! =)

Go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and check the box to enable the restricted drivers for your NVIDIA card if the option is provided.
Use the links on this page to download the latest version of Realtek RTL8811AU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB 2.0 Network Adapter drivers. All drivers available for. The package provides the installation files for Realtek RTL8811AU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB 2.0 Network Adapter Driver version 1030.6.1201.2015. If the driver is already installed on your system, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix various issues, add. Win8, Win8.1 and Server 2012 Auto Installation Program (SharedID:607559990 SId:627821160). Realtek rtl8811au driver download.
If the restricted driver remains unactivated after attempting to activate it in the Hardware Drivers dialog, you may not have the appropriate linux headers installed to compile the driver. Ensure that the linux-headers-XXX and linux-restricted-modules-XXX packages are installed, where XXX matches the version of the kernel you are using (linux-image-XXX).
If the activation hangs on download/install dialog, you can install the driver using System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager, make sure you pick the latest driver version recommended by the 'Hardware Drivers' tool and all its dependencies. Go to Hardware Drivers tool and activate the driver you just installed.

Forget about the file you downloaded.
Go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers.
