The way I solved this collision problem (gutsy): - prevent loading of the lrm modules "nvidia" "nvidia-legacy" "nvidia-new" - alias the module "nvidia" produced by the install script
The 3 nvidia restricted modules appear at boottime in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/volatile Loading is prevented by the line DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new" in the file /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common The module produced by the install script is /lib/modules/<kernel- version>/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko I renamed the file to nvidia-is.ko The alias must be registered in directory /etc/modprobe.d I created a new file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-driver (filename does not matter) containing two lines: # Make nvidia load the nvidia-is alias nvidia nvidia-is One may check the result : $ modprobe --show-depends nvidia insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22-8-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22-8-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia-is.ko -- linux-restricted-modules causes modules mismatch with nvidia installer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
