What should i do?

I would download the Envy script installer from here

You want the file "envy_0.9.7-0ubuntu8_all.deb" about halfway down the page. Download it to your Desktop, right-click it, and choose "Kubuntu Package Manager > Install".

The first thing that will happen is that it will fail to install, and report a list of dependencies (other packages that you must install first), including fakeroot, python-glade, and some more python-related packages. Don't panic, just write down the names of the packages that it wants, open Adept and mark them for installation, and "apply". Then repeat the process to install Envy, and it will be installed, with an icon in Kmenu>System. Click that icon to run it. If it fails for any reason in GUI mode, or if at some time in the future (after a kernel upgrade) you find yourself with no Nivida driver, just enter

sudo envy -t

at the text prompt and it will re-install the driver for you.

Re: Installing nvidia drivers for edgy

Open a Konsole and type

sudo nvidia-settings

it will ask for your password, type it

The nvidia settings window will open, make the necessary adjustments and remember to click on "Save to X config file" that way you should be good to go
