error10

Sounds like you should go back to: install the NVIDIA driver. And get a copy of any error you might see.

my mission for tonight is to learn how to uninstall the driver I installed It won't let me just overwrite, or skip to the part where i install the libraries. gah! linux is fun

Pic0liter

Install Envy and use it to uninstall the old driver and install a new one.

error10

Envy won't install the CUDA-enabled driver. When it does, I will update the directions. (Hopefully in Jaunty.)

For uninstalling the CUDA nvidia drivers, the following sucked it out in no time flat :

And heres some screenies of my error messages:

So the issue is something or other with my 32 bit libraries (obviously) so im going back up to step 1 to figure out if i botched something there.

Pic0liter

Have you tried Ubuntu? Because that's what the guide was written for.

thiosk

nope, and thats my bad, everything else worked, but i'll figure it out eventually.

Mint is based on ubuntu, at least, and everything else has worked flawlessly

error10

I can't be of that much help if it's Linux Mint. I will say that you did miss an important step, and that is to install all available updates, at least to level 3, prior to installing the NVIDIA driver.

I did follow the same software update process in MINT as is avaliable in ubuntu.

A couple things I've noticed... the 32-bit compatibility libraries are being inserted into the correct place by the installer. It says it can't find them but it is putting them there.

However, the files are 2.4 kb.

That to me smacks of a problem. Perhaps I can simply find copies of the emulated drivers and put them in the correct place and go from there? everything installed, it just showed errors on those three files.
