How to downgrade to nVidia drivers 180.xx
Well, the 185.18.14 drivers are shit... They completely hang my PC at least once a day now...
So I’m reverting back to 180.60.
I will be re-packaging everything to use 180.60 again..
How to downgrade the video drivers:
Start synaptic
Click on “Reload”
Click on “Mark All Upgrades”
This will prompt you that nvidia-glx-185 and nvidia-libvdpau-185 will be uninstalled. That’s okay.
Do not click Apply yet.
Mark to install nvidia-glx-180
Apply.
If you don’t care about rebooting your machine:
-> reboot your machine.
If you do:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo rmmod nvidia
sudo modprobe nvidia
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
