    Hi staticn0de, I followed your guide to install the NVIDIA driver but when I try to run the NVIDIA*.run file i receive the following error and the installation abort:

    Uninstall Debian packages first
    I installed the latest non beta version of VirtualGL, and I downloaded the latest NVIDIA card driver from the official website

    .log file

    nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'
    creation time: Sat Jul 18 19:38:52 2015
    installer version: 352.21

    PATH: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

    nvidia-installer command line:
    ./nvidia-installer

    Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
    -> Detected 8 CPUs online; setting concurrency level to 8.
    WARNING: You do not appear to have an NVIDIA GPU supported by the 352.21 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver installed in this system. For further details, please see the appendix SUPPORTED NVIDIA GRAPHICS CHIPS in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
    -> License accepted.
    -> Installing NVIDIA driver version 352.21.
    -> The NVIDIA driver appears to have been installed previously using a different installer. To prevent potential conflicts, it is recommended either to update the existing installation using the same mechanism by which it was originally installed, or to uninstall the existing installation before installing this driver.

    Please review the message provided by the maintainer of this alternate installation method and decide how to proceed:

    Please use the Debian packages instead of the .run file.


    (Answer: Abort installation)
    ERROR: The installation was canceled due to the availability or presence of an alternate driver installation. Please see /var/log/nvidia-installer.log for more details.
