Fetch the packages via wget (note that I'm using the x86_64 packages here: replace amd64 with i386 if needed) wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-common_1.9.0-0ubuntu7.3_all.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xorg-core_1.9.0-0ubuntu7.3_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.3.2-6ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg/xserver-xorg_7.5+6ubuntu3_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg/xserver-xorg-input-all_7.5+6ubuntu3_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-input-mouse/xserver-xorg-input-mouse_1.5.0-2build1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics_1.2.2-2ubuntu5_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse/xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse_12.6.9-2build1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xf86-input-wacom/xserver-xorg-input-wacom_0.10.8-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg/xserver-xorg-video-all_7.5+6ubuntu3_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-current_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-glx-185-dev_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-glx-185_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-current-dev_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-185-libvdpau_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-185-libvdpau-dev_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-185-kernel-source_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-185-modaliases_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/nvidia-current-modaliases_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings_260.19.06-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb Clean up the current installation: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current and install everything with sudo dpkg -i *.deb then reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760632 Title: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
