Public bug reported: I tried to install the nvidia drivers from "additional drivers" (jockey-kde) or manually, and the nvidia drivres fail to load. The system always loads the Nouveau driver. Also, the nvidia-settings icon does not appear in the launcher menu. If I run nvidia-settings manually, I get this message: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
If manually install the driver I get this in the terminal: (Leyendo la base de datos ... 169259 ficheros o directorios instalados actualmente.)

I've tried with the versions 304, 313 and 319 from the Xorg Edgers PPA repository. I've tried with Ubuntu 13.04 kernels, and the mainline 3.9. I get the same problem with all combinations. Originally I had installed the system with my monitor connected to my intel iGPU using the intel drivers. Now I have the monitor connected to the Nvidia card, and as I said before with nouveau works well.
