This guide helps to install drivers if you have an NVIDIA graphics card.

- Hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login as root

- Stop X:
sudo stop lightdm

- Install Kernel source and headers, uninstall previously installed drivers and then install eg. the driver "nvidia-current-updates":
sudo apt-get install linux-source
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current-updates
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-experimental-304
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates

- Finally, shut down:
sudo shutdown -r now
