That guide is for ubuntu. How do I do it for kbuntu?

Re: Pleast help me install Nvidia drivers

Almost the same thing, but instead of starting Synaptic, you start Adept.

If you're confused about the kernel headers and all that, just open Konsole and type in:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r
then:
sudo nvidia-xconfig

Those 2 lines will install the nVidia driver, nothing else is needed.

One more thing, if your card is any of these:

RIVA TNT, RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro, RIVA TNT2 Ultra, Vanta/Vanta LT, RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro, Aladdin TNT2, GeForce 256, GeForce DDR , Quadro, GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro, GeForce2, Ti GeForce2 Ultra, Quadro2 Pro,

Then the first line will be this instead:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`

Hope that helps.
