I have just installed ubuntu 14.04 final beta. But i am looking for a way to install drivers for Nvidia graphic card, wireless card, touchpad.

My laptop has a NVIDIA GEFORCE 710M with 2GB Dedicated VRAM graphics card

Also i am not able to change the brightness of screen with fn+(required key). How should i fix it? Should i install intel graphics drivers as well?

I much worried about graphics drivers because i want to play games via stream :)

Laptop: Acer Aspire E1-571G

Thanks for the help in advance

Abhimanyu,

Try searching for "Additional Drivers" from the Unity Dash (like the Windows start menu). I'm using an NVIDIA graphics card; here is what mine looks like:

My Additional Drivers View

You can adjust your brightness from the System Settings menu, again search-able from the Unity Dash. You can also get there by clicking on the gear in the top-right corner of your screen. Brightness and Lock is the second one.

If I may get on a soap box for a few words...you should always update your system before making any changes like this. It is quick and easy from Terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

  • It sounds like it could be the driver you want. However, I would definitely update first and be sure to backup anything you don't want to lose. Beta versions are not meant to be depended-on for seamless operation, they are meant to be improved upon. – musicman1979 Apr 10 '14 at 03:22

  • That's good news. In Windows, you would modify the NVIDIA settings from the NVIDIA console. In Ubuntu, most options are available from the same System Settings described in my answer. Please remember to mark the answer to your question. – musicman1979 Apr 10 '14 at 06:32
