In karmic it should be no problem: - Uninstall any nvidia packages installed from the ubuntu repos - Download the beta driver and make it executable (chmod +x /path/to/NVIDIA-Linux-(x86|x86_64)-256.25.run) - Switch to a virtual terminal (i.e. ctrl+alt+f2), login - Stop X: sudo service gdm stop - Check you've installed the build-essential package: sudo apt-get install build-essential - Install the driver: sudo /path/to/NVIDIA-Linux-(x86|x86_64)-256.25.run - Reboot
For lucid users it is more complicated, for example see http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html (haven't tested myself).
