    [SOLVED]PPA X-swat Nvidia drivers not being updated

    Hey all

    I have apt-added the x-swat ppa for the latest nvidia drivers and I see on the web site that they are at 285.05.09. However, when I do an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, nothing gets updated. Currently, I am at 280.13 from the jockey install.

    How do I pull down the latest driver from x-swat? I have tried to install nvidia-graphics-drivers according to the website, but apt-get doesn't see that driver.

    I have also checked that the ubuntu-x-swat-x-updates-oneiric.list file does not have a commented line.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
    Joe

    Try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.

      Hi Snowhog,

      Tried that and no luck.

      I am seeing something quite interesting - Its not even retrieving the x-swats PPA when I do an update:

      Code:
      apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

        Re: PPA X-swat Nvidia drivers not being updated

        I just noticed mine wasn't working either. I deleted the x-swat files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d, updated apt, re-added the repo and ran apt-get update again. nvidia-current is in there now and is the proper version, so the PPA works.

        Once you get the repo fixed, the way you get the current driver is

        sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

        Hope this helps -

          Hi There

          Yeah, I just figured out what it was.

          When I installed the nvidia driver originally, I used Jocky and installed the post-install updates which installed the nvidia-current-updates. This prevented the X-Swat update because they use nvidia-current.

          So, I removed the driver from Jocky and just installed nvidia-current from x-swats and it worked.

          Thanks for the help!
