[01:17] <krabador> hi people, i need help to install nvidia-173 on ubuntu 12.10
[01:18] <tgm4883> krabador, did you try using jockey?
[01:19] <tgm4883> the additional drivers thingy
[01:19] <tgm4883> whatever it's called now
[01:21] <krabador> tgm4883, when i try to install the package as "sudo apt-get install nvidia-173" i've error "Depends: xorg-video-abi-11  but it is not installable or xorg-video-abi-12 v., but it is not installable
[01:23] <tgm4883> I would normally recommend installing nvidia drivers via the "additional drivers" tab in "software sources"
[01:24] <krabador> tgm4883, yes, i tried too, but i've the same issue
[01:26] <krabador> tgm4883, i installed the official nvidia package, no problems with desktop environment 2d, but blank screen and pointer on unity and 3d desktop
[01:26] <tgm4883> how did you get a 2d desktop on 12.10?
[01:27] <krabador> then i uninstalled the official nvidia package, and i tried to install nvidia-173
[01:27] <krabador> tgm4883, gnome 2d
[01:31] <tgm4883> krabador, hmm, I don't think I've got good news for you yet. It appears to be a bug that is in progress of being fixed

[01:32] <krabador> tgm4883, great...
[01:32] <krabador> :)
[01:32] <krabador> then ok, it seems i must wait the bug correction
[01:33] <krabador> tgm4883, what do you think about http://namakutux.blogspot.it/2012/11/solved-how-to-install-nvidia-173-on.html
[01:35] <tgm4883> krabador, not sure I like installing a video card driver from 12.04 onto 12.10
[01:37] <krabador> then, if the official nvidia package have " Added support for xserver ABI 13 (xorg-server 1.13)."
[01:37] <krabador> like http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux-display-ia32-173.14.36-driver-uk.html
[01:38] <krabador> i installed this package, but i had issues with unity
[01:39] <krabador> what can i set later the driver installation, to use properly 3d acceleration?
[02:22] <krabador> then thanx tgm4883  :)
