to reproduce, setup the nvida drivers uninstall linux-headers, you may have to uninstall the nvidia driver, and install it again without the linux headers... it looks like the linux-headers package installation takes care of installing the nvidia kernel module).. or just wait for a kernel upgrade,
reboot the computer -- it comes up in the "Graphics don't work mode" tell it to go back to default configuration (it'll use the NV driver) restart the computer -- it comes up in NV driver or svga... something with lower color density go to the drivers tool from the K menu, select nvidia 180, it does not highlight, and there is no error message. exit this. apt-get install the linux-headers go to the drivers tool select nvidia 180, it highlights! log-off and restart x server it comes back in accelerated glory. (For some reason the linux-headers-generic was blocked, I'm using 9.04) -- hardware drivers device manager for Nvidia does not give meaningfull error message when linux-headers does not work with module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
