How do I remove proprietary nVidia driver?
« on: 2012/12/21, 10:26:06 »
From here http://wiki.siduction.de/index.php?title=Wie_entferne_ich_propriet%C3%A4re_nVidia-Treiber?
I used "Translate this" to get
Code: [Select]
init 3
 apt-get purge nvidia * ^ * ^ libnvidia xserver-xorg-video-nv
 apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
 apt-get install - reinstall xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-nouveau libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental
 reboot

Just wanted to be sure it is translated accurately.

It is a seriers of commands, there is nothing to translate. Just use as it is printed there.

I would make one change
Code: [Select]

apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/nvidia/{print $2}')
