Every time I try to install the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu, Unity decides to stop working upon reboot.
Ive been following tutorials for installing it on Ubuntu 12.04 while I was using Ubuntu 12.10. Is it any different for 12.10? For the record its a GT 540M.
Will getting Mint or another distro make a difference?
Thanks.
