This set of instructions explains how to get a complete CUDA 5.0 Toolkit compiler up and running in Ubuntu 12.04 for the x86_64 architecture.
\nIt explains how to avoid getting stuck with a fast booting bios and missing out on loading GRUB by introducing a 3 second timeout. This timeout can be removed after everything is set up.
\nIt also explains how to fix all the linking issues with the toolchains, and how to fix a garbled display when setting up a machine for use with Cuda 5.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.<\/p>\n

Be careful when pasting this code, you need to fix the line wrapping yourself. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n
