I'm quite new on linux but isn't one row wrong?
Can't get this line to work:
#ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-...7-pkg1.run
Shouldnt it be 185.13 on the end?
The next command in your guide is:
# sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.13-pkg1.run
So i think that the first line should download the 185.13 pkg right?
Or am i doing something wrong?
Cant get the first line to work, the terminal says that it doesnt exist.
Yes, the wiki is inconsistent. 185.13 is the latest beta, while (180.37 is already outdated) 180.41 is the latest prerelease. 180.29 is the latest official release. See here.
Official release - stable (180.29):
Code:
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/180.29/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run
Prerelease - more recent, reasonably stable (180.41):
Code:
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/180.41/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.41-pkg1.run
Beta release - bleeding edge (seems stable for me, but YMMV) (needed for vdpau - 185.13):
Code:
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/185.13/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.13-pkg1.run
