No alternative drivers appearing on Software Sources and manual install leads to no unity
- by Gausie
I just got a new laptop, installed Ubuntu 12.10 and am trying to install proprietary nvidia drivers. Once I understood the change from jockey, I did a fresh install and followed these instructions:

But when I do, Unity crashes on startup.
My hardware on lspci | grep VGA is as follows
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GT 650M] (rev a1)
I've followed a couple of nvidia 12.10 tutorials on Google but none have helped. Can I get any specific advice?
