Instead go to the Nvidia directory that was created when you extracted the driver. Code: ./nvidia-installer NOTE::- this is linked to the x64 driver. The i-x86 should work out of the box.. but if you want to experiment you will know how to use the correct filenames That should solve some of these nvidia questions..
