BTW, for anyone who is interested in getting this to work: (quoting solution from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1741754)
"[The] problem is that you have the nvidia driver installed as a deb package but not the driver itself, for which you need the kernel headers. Install the package kernel-headers-blabla corresponding to your current kernel (see uname -a). Then do install --reinstall of the nvidia package or install --reinstall of the linux kernel - this will force the creation of the nvidia kernel module. Reboot. Those commands: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic-pae" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710744 Title: after installing PAE kernel NVIDIA driver does not work - no GUI _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
