Public bug reported:
I've recently upgraded to the new kernel image 2.6.20-16.31 (from
2.6.20-16.29 I think) and gnome wouldn't start with the nvidia driver. I
used the "nv" driver to start Gnome, removed and installed over the
drivers through the restricted drivers manager (I actually just checked
the "in use" check box, it removed and installed nvidia-glx).
I've noticed that restricted drivers manager installs nvidia-glx and not
nvidia-glx-new, hence produces this error in the logs while booting up:
Sep 2 12:45:20 ubuntu kernel: [ 30.449076] NVRM: API mismatch: the client
has the version 1.0-9631, but
Sep 2 12:45:20 ubuntu kernel: [ 30.449078] NVRM: this kernel module has the
version 1.0-9755. Please
Sep 2 12:45:20 ubuntu kernel: [ 30.449079] NVRM: make sure that this kernel
module and all NVIDIA driver
Sep 2 12:45:20 ubuntu kernel: [ 30.449080] NVRM: components have the same
version.
I had to "apt-get remove nvidia-glx" and "apt-get install nvidia-glx-
new" to fix it. Shouldn't it have done that in the first place?
Oh one more question, the nvidia-glx-new has a version
1.0.9755+2.6.20.5-16.29, shouldn't that be 1.0.9755+2.6.20.5-16.31 to
match the new kernel image?
