I downlaoded a beta nVidia graphics driver for Linux. I wanted to try it to see if it would work with my Optimus machine. I tried the install in a terminal, out of X, and get an error, "cannot write to file" in /tmp. I am root at the time. Any ideas?

Try adding the xorg-edgers ppa. They have the 325 driver already compiled into a deb package.I do not personally use Kubuntu, but I'm the tech support for my daughter who does.

Could you post all of the console output including the commands you used?
How did you make yourself root?Comment

Used sudo. In any case I enabled edgers and installed the driver, but it did not solve the problem so Optimus remains the issue and the original question is moot.Originally posted by blackpaw View Post
