@Silvio: It sounds like a different problem from the one I had (the nvidia driver failed to get an interrupt for the card in my case). I have seen dkms fail to install the new driver in the past though.
Just a note in case it helps anyone, the commands to install the driver are: Check if the driver is installed for any kernel: dkms status sudo dkms build -m nvidia-current -v [insert version here] -k [insert kernel version here] sudo dkms install -m nvidia-current -v [insert version here] -k [insert kernel version here] eg for kernel 3.0.0-13-generic and nvidia 290.10: sudo dkms install -m nvidia-current -v 290.10 -k 3.0.0-13-generic You can also use the tab key to auto-complete the module, version, and kernel version, which is handy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880476 Title: after update to kernel 3.0.0-13 ubuntu 11.10 does not start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/880476/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
