Additional Drivers downloader crashes [CLOSED]
Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2012 9:56 am
I'm not sure if I'm writing to a correct forum...
But still. I've had to install Linux Mint because my computer's HDD died and I've lost my Windows restoration/installation DVD. Using KDE version.
The problem is: as far as I know I need proprietary Nvidia drivers to play 3D games, but every time I start the downloader it searches for drivers and then just crashes showing a bug-repoting window.
Please, help. I mostly use my PC for entertainment, I need those drivers. Is there any way to fix the downloader? Or any other way to obtain them?
P.S. I'm more than sure that the absence of these drivers is the reason all the 3D-games crash on start.
P.P.S. I've googled the instructions on obtaining drivers on some 3rd-party website through sudo command in terminal, but it didn't help. I think driver was wrong.
