Thanks for answering...

Well I have manually installed nVidia drivers so I can do it sleeping.
This time it was "mission impossible" beacuse of that the kernel rejected it.

Alberto helped me to bypass Envy beacuse of a OS check and it worked.

I proposed within Feistys development forum that a test procedure
for example Restricted Manager should be a good thing.

I have helped several lost nVidia owner with this challenge.

This procedure should always work...!

sudo nano /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common

DISABLED_MODULES="nv"

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential gcc gcc-3.4 xserver-xorg-dev
sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-common
sudo rm /etc/init.d/nvidia-*
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.03-pkg1.run
sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
