Just to clarify, you _will_ get an error with the NVidia module trying to load thanks to some funky garbage that Ubuntu has stuck into the modprobe script. The new modprobe will attempt to use lrm-video to launch the NVidia module. This of course, won't work as lrm-video is part of the restricted modules package.
To get around this, the fix is a relatively simple one: Edit /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video and comment out the 'nvidia' line #install nvidia /sbin/lrm-video nvidia $CMDLINE_OPTS This will enable the nvidia module to properly load. It is a lot of hassle, and I suppose we can thank the proprietary garbage drivers of NVidia -- as this bug would likely have been fixed already had the source and documentation been open. -- Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145112 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
