So everyone out there ,are satisified with the new ubuntu release except a couple of things  like drivers issue for nvidia users and sound problem.So here we try to solve the nvidia issue in jaunty.
Goto applications–>add/remove and in the left menu you will find system tools.Search for desktop effects and nvidia driver 173 or 177 and install whichever is compatible with the card.

now you will find a couple of drivers here to activate..activate the 173 or 177 driver and a system restart is everything u need to have a working jaunty box.

If the both of those drivers break on restart then try to install 180 version
add these lines to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section “ServerFlags”
Option “IgnoreABI” “True”
EndSection

Then goto system–>administration–>hardware drivers

and edit you /etc/apt/sources.list

#Restricted PPAs for .28 Kernel
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/anders-kaseorg/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/anders-kaseorg/ubuntu jaunty main

fire up a terminal and
sudo apt-get update

Activate the 180 version driver and a restart should do.If this did not helped you install the latest nvidia driver which you can find in the part 2 of this post
