@Wizzu Thanks! I've corrected it.

You don’t have to manually edit Xorg.conf, you can also install the “dontzap” package and then run the command:

dontzap –disable

To clarify, you want to have the DontZap option in Xorg.conf to say “false” instead of “true” (as you have in your example code). Ie. you want to have the feature off.

@cewan
do the following to add a trust for this site.

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x643dc6bd56580ceb1ab4a9f63b22ab97af1cdfa9
I usually don’t do this, because if all works smooth on performing “aptitude update” on the command line, I tend to believe I do have an ‘clean’ (unmodified) sources.conf. You can always install packages also from untrusted parties, simple by manually grant the process by typing a ‘y’, if being asked.

Nice guide!
I fail to install nvidia drivers though. I get:

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3B22AB97AF1CDFA9
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

I have tried to run apt-get update, but it doesn’t do anything. How do I continue?
