1. download driver-installation file from nvidia.com
2. sudo stop gdm (in 12.04... no gdm service... 'sudo service lightdm stop')
3. automatically going to text mode
after ctrl + alt + F1 to go to text-mode, then you can stop gdm.
4. sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.40.run (downloaded)
5. after installing
6. sudo start gdm
I faced the problem below, when I do re-boot after 5th-step.
"You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file
(just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. "
then I did "sudo nvidia-xconfig"..... I couldn't see the X-window again :-(
I had to re-install ubunto to see it again.
