How do I install Nvidia drivers for Ubuntu 12.10? I have a GeForce GT 540m and have been trying to do this for the past 2 months with no luck. I tried the official repository, then I added the x swat ppa. I've installed Linux-headers-generic and Linux-source, and virtually every solution google has to offer. Throughout the course of this I must have done at least 25 fresh installs of Ubuntu; does anybody else(with a GT 540m) have this problem?

possible duplicate of How well do laptops with Nvidia Optimus work?. You need bumblebee. Read thoroughly in the link. I have 540m too – Web-E Dec 3 '12 at 5:06

Drivers are already available at geforce website for both 32 and 64bit installations. Have you tried to download from there?
