I use Ubuntu 15.10.
I am following the instructions here to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver 352.63. I am aware that I have to disable my X Server before installing it, so I press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to log in, and run the command sudo service lightdm stop.
The first step wget works fine.
The problem arises when I try to run the second command, sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.63.run. I keep receiving the error message No such file or directory.
Any advice?
EDIT:
This is the output when I run ls -l:

Install the same driver a correct way by running in terminal
sudo apt-get install nvidia-352Or go to System Settings -> Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers
and install it from there.
But the 352.63 driver has a bug, that leads to system dead hangs on some adapters. It has been fixed in 352.79.
It can be installed from a PPA this way:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-352You have to options:
Give full path to the file:
sudo chmod +x /path/to/fileRun directly with
sh:sudo sh /path/to/file
