Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring support for the graphics cards produced by Nvidia on Linux-based operating systems. This version supports only the 32-bit architecture. For 64-bit support, see this link. Even if it provides a settings panel, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver is not an application. It is a hardware driver, which provides some instructions that tell an operating system how to use a piece of hardware

Release highlights since 352.09:

• Added support for the following GPUs:
  
  • Tesla K40t
    
  • GeForce 720A
    
  • GeForce 920A
    
  • GeForce 930A
    
  • GeForce 940A
    
  • GeForce GTX 950A
    
  • GeForce GTX 980 Ti
    
  
  
• Added GLX Protocol support for the following OpenGL extensions:
  
  • GL_ARB_copy_buffer
    
  • GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object
    
  
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the Display Configuration page of the nvidia-settings control panel to automatically generate layouts with multiple displays occupying the same position when enabling or disabling Base Mosaic.
  
• Updated nvidia-settings to allow the use of the standard Display Configuration page when SLI Mosaic is enabled.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the kernel to report errors when unmapping DMA allocations on kernels with CONFIG_DEBUG_DMA_API enabled.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused a kernel crash if SLI Mosaic and G-SYNC were used at the same time on a configuration with more display devices connected to one GPU than another.
  
• Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that caused the application to crash when saving the EDID to a file.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented the "mkprecompiled" utility included in the driver package from reading files correctly.
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause an Xid error when terminating a video playback application using the overlay presentation queue in VDPAU.
  
• Updated nvidia-installer to avoid recursing too deeply into kernel source trees under /usr/lib/modules, mirroring an existing restriction on recursion under /lib/modules.

Supports a wide range of Nvidia GPUs

In our tests, we’ve discovered that the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports much more Nvidia graphics cards than the open source Nouveau driver. It plays well with most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series.

All in all, if you have a PC or laptop equipped with an Nvidia GPU, and you have issues with the default Nouveau open source driver, you may want to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.

How to Install, update or Upgrade KDE Plasma 5.2.2 on Arch Linux, Exherbo Linux, Fedora 20, 21, 22, Gentoo Linux, Kubuntu 14.04, 14.10, 15.05, openSUSE 13.1, 13.2, Slackware and ROSA :

Arch Linux
Plasma Next packages are available in the [extra] repository. To install it run:a

# pacman -Syu
# pacman -S plasma-meta

or

# pacman -Syu
# pacman -S plasma

Exherbo Linux
We currently provide Plasma 5 packages in the kde repository. They can easily be installed with the help of the plasma set:

# cave resolve plasma*

Fedora
We provide Plasma 5 packages for Fedora 20 and 21 in the dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository. (Please note that these packages replace Plasma 4. The Plasma 4 and Plasma 5 workspaces cannot be installed in parallel from our RPMs.) The required KDE Frameworks 5 packages are available in the official Fedora repositories for Fedora 20 (in updates) and 21, and will be automatically installed as dependencies of the Plasma 5 packages. (Unlike the Plasma workspaces, the libraries, i.e. KDE Frameworks 5, kdelibs 4 and kdelibs 3, can be installed in parallel.)

Add the Plasma 5 Copr to Yum and install the plasma-5 meta-package, which will install all needed packages.

# wget http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/dvratil/plasma-5/repo/fedora-20/dvratil-plasma-5-fedora-20.repo
# yum install plasma5

On Fedora 21, replace fedora-20 with fedora-21.

If you use DNF, simply install dnf-plugins-core and run

dnf copr enable dvratil/plasma-5
dnf install plasma5

Plasma 5 will replace Plasma 4 as the system version of Plasma in Fedora 22. Until that happens, packages for Rawhide (i.e. what will become Fedora 22 and newer) are also available from the dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository.

For all those who want to try out Plasma 5 without affecting their existing Plasma 4 installation, we also provide an x86_64 live image with Plasma 5 based on Fedora 20: http://pub.dvratil.cz/plasma/iso/5.1/. 

Plasma 5 packages are currently in the KDE overlay. For more information please visit the Gentoo wiki
 
Packages for Kubuntu Utopic Next and Next backports PPAs for Utopic (14.10) are now deprecated.
To test upgrade to Vivid, please use the PPA-purge package to remove those PPAs and packages, and then install `kubuntu-desktop` meta-package, and finally:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

before initiating:

sudo kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade

to move to Vivid beta. Full instructions to upgrade from 14.10.
Live Image of Kubuntu Vivid with Packages from Git The Weekly Live Image, updated every Friday with latest source from Git to run a full system from a USB disk. Based on Kubuntu 15.04, Vivid.
KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 is available in the Vivid development version of Kubuntu, now in beta.
