I am completely new to linux, so obviously Ubuntu as well. I have been having 
problems with this from the get go. Same error message as stated above: 
"The software source for package
   nvidia-glx-new
is not enabled."
I have no clue how to fix this. I have done quite a few google searches and 
have tried for an entire day to get this working (please keep in mind I have 
never touched this stuff). I did find this article...  
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3678338  and I tried to follow Dabl's 
directions however when I run envy I get the following message: Error: 
Dependency is not satisfiable: xserver-xorg-dev. I have also tried downloading 
the nvidia driver from nvidias website and launching the *.run file. Nothing 
seems to be working here. When I finally found the synaptic package manager, I 
had no idea what to do with it because repositories was greyed out. I logged 
out of that account and logged back in as root. Once I was logged in as root, 
the repositories option was no longer greyed out. When I click on respositories 
software sources comes up, but I have no idea what to do from here. It looks 
like this is where you choose where you want your updates coming from?I have 
tried checking everything on the ubuntu software tab(main, universe, 
restricted, multiverse, installable from cd-rom/dvd). There were some other 
things I have tried, but unfortunately with the amount of work I have to do, I 
have no more time to try to figure this one out until vacation. Any help would 
be greatly appreciated.
