im going to attempt to install this by the company i think it advisable so there is all parts in the packages this is an ongoing issues where nvidia drivers all seem to be a linux issue, brand new card and none still has corrected these drivers yet. i'm also noticing after installs of the OS, things don't work or other things fail after installs something different on 2 pcs frankly this kubuntu runs better on an lintel then a amd and this is an amd os? it responds better on an Intel. im on the 14-10 and it seems to play hell on when installing on a partition, drive disk checks all the time if you forget to disable flash drives and never can ever load a dvd on any of this os at all. so if i need to bug report the extra details do contact me asap i refuse to back off linux back to a corp monger OS like windows they are banned from our house hold and offices for product key wiping.
