A: How to install Nvidia driver?

VishwaPrakash H VI had the exact same problem and I solved it like this (Actually Raphael solved) like this: First find out which Graphic Card you are using (Exact model) You can contact the manufacturer or lspci and search for 3D controller .

@VishwaPrakashHV Everything's fine except for downloading the drivers from Nvidia manually. That is not needed. The ppa does it for you.

@Raphael thanks :) but will that ppa work for all Nvdia drivers?
Raphael
Raphael
Yup

VishwaPrakash H V
@Raphael Thanks :) I edited in now :) "(No need to download the *.run file just know the version)"
Raphael
Raphael
Yup. Better: no need to check the version. The ppa automatically checks and downloads it for you.

Well it seems those are experimental. Didn't know that. Or might be for other models. Your way is better it seems.
Checking the website is better
VishwaPrakash H V
VishwaPrakash H V

Raphael
Raphael
Yes, otherwise its confusing
