hi,

I managed to logon using the vesa driver into my ubuntu, which it wasn't doing earlier. Now I have the nvidia driver installer on my desktop, and I used terminal to run it using sudo. It tells me that something called "ld" is missing. Is this the universe/multiverse thing, cos i think i enabled those.

I also cannot access my ntfs partitions, cause somebody named "root" has the permission. i cant access it, or mount it or unmount it. Nothing, nada.

Help, if i have to go through another installation manual, i'll drown. :D

Thanks a lot.

My system spec is: AMD 3000+ Asus A8-NE nVidia 6600 PCIe 200 GB Hdd 1gb RAM

Have you installed "nvidia-glx"?

Ran "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable"?
