Installing a video driver?

If you want to install nvidia drivers manually you need to read the documentation. In your case it is located here..

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/260.19.21/README/index.html

However i think nvidia driver version 260.19.06 is in the ubuntu repositorys in the package nvidia-current which you can install easily via "apt-get install nvidia-current" if its not already installed.

Nvidia drivers are a closed binary and so we don't know what the installer does precisely and so its hard to tell what the pre-requisites are without reading the readme.

I could have swore my pic had 193.36.24 as the latest version,

I don't know why that package is showing as an old version on your system. Maybe your package lists arent updating for some reason. You can still install manually using the instructions I linked to.

EDIT - I take that back. I think its because you are on lucid and not maverick. For some reason the nvidia-current package is much less "current" on lucid. You'll need to manually install, or upgrade to maverick.

I did yesterday. 10.10 still freezes, maybe I can get a pair of homeplugs to see if it freezes from the wireless.
