Help
I am trying to install the Nvidia display drivers for Kubuntu 7.04 and it keeps giving me an error message saying the authentication method is not available.
I am trying to install as root in the console with x turned off. I get the error when I type su to log in as root. Telinit 3 will only work if I'm root as well.
I also tried to create a user account that was just root and use that password, but I get the same error message.
This method has worked for me in the past using Mandriva, but is Kubuntu different being Debian based?

Thanks again danleff, again your advice is right on the money. I got the Nvidia drivers, compiz and openGL to work. I thought it might have installed incorrectly at first, because all of the title bars disappeared and I couldn't click on the taskbar. Also the keyboard stopped working. But a quick reboot fixed all that and got the 3D desktop working.
Is this all you do all day? Hand out great advice?
