nvidia-glx-173 fails to load in Karmic

I am unable to run the command i had wanted to swince i cant get a terminal to stay open. I will try it in TTY later.

Wanted to run
sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh
and
ls -Rl /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/

will post those in a little while if i can get them

ok here are the files for the above commands while booted to 2.6.30-5

This still happens with kernel 2.6.30.6

I have tried a few things including
using jockey to install the nvidia-glx-173
re-installing drivers a few times.
Installing xserver-xorg-video-nouveau version 1:0.0.10~git+20090404+11be9a9-0ubuntu1

I'm running out of ideas at this time.

I'm going to try to use xconf from 2.6.28* kernel see if it helps any

using same xorg.conf did not help
i had also ran:
sudo nvidia-xconfig since nothing else worked and it failed to help as well.

ok its more of a fail to build modulas

marking as confirmed due to the duplicate bug.

Seems to be missing *-restricted-modules for 2.6.30* from what apt search and synaptic are showing me. However why wouldnt everyone with non free drivers see this bug not just nvidia drivers

There is a fix for nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in bug #384639 which involves downloading the latest packages from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/

hello
same bug here

the solution of 180 nvidia driver is wrong cause some card are not supported by this one

173.14.16 is now "legacy"
180 won't find any supported gpu for fx 4 / 5 series.

this happend with the coming out of 2.6.30 kernel

thank you

I take that back. I'm using the upstream drivers.
I kind of miss my "working" lower panel :(

Kaltsi's comment is correct and helpful. I was able to install the current .20 driver from NVIDIA (linked in his comment) on 2.6.31-2-generic.

This was helpful information about installing the driver through DKMS, so that subsequent updates re-build the kernel module: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036788
