Bug Description

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new

Under kernel 2.6.22-14 neither nvidia-glx nor nvidia-glx-new will load. Using modprobe on either one returns: "FATAL: error running install command." They work fine under 2.6.22-12. Card is 6800GT.

Of course I would finally manage to fix this shortly after reporting the bug. I still don't know what the problem was though. I had removed restricted-manager, restricted-manager-core, linux-restricted-modules, linux-restricted-modules-generic, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic and nvidia-glx-new individually and reinstalled them but it didn't help. I just removed them all and then reinstalled them and now it works. Strange stuff.

Sounds like this was fixed through an update (since you reinstalled twice, there may have been a new version of restricted modules).

Should we mark this as fixed then?

Yes, go ahead and mark it fixed. Sorry to waste your time. I had been trying to get it working for several days with no success so I decided to report the problem. Of course it started working right after I did that.

Glad it works!

No worries about wasting time, It is better to report issues that fix themselves than not report issues that never get fixed.
