# File : my_nvidia.sh
# Version: 10.13.10.1
# Author : M.E.Adams
# Purpose: Recover from Ubuntu/Nvidia driver update bug
# ---------------------------------------------------------
# Notes &: 1. This script automates the installation of
# Assumes: version 256.53 of the nvidia driver on top
# : of nvidia_current 260.19.06 and makes it the
# : new nvidia_current. It insures other required
# : modules are installed and configured.
# : 2. This script was developed specifically for
# : the author's Sony VAIO model VPCF136FM.
# : Others might benefit but, mileage may vary.
# : 3. Author's system configuration:
# : Processor: i7-740QM / 1.73 GHz
# : Memory : 6 GB
# : Display : 16.4" / 1600x900
# : Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M GPU
# : 4. It is safe to ignore most warning messages
# : generated if the operation succeeds. If it
# : fails, then use them to aid in diagnostics.
# : 5. Pay attention and answer prompts as presented.
# : 6. This code assumes wget and jockey packages
# : are installed.
# : 7. After the Xserver is restarted with the new
# : nvidia driver, a reboot is necessary to
# : complete the installation (I don't know why).
