I installed nvidia-current from the Additional Drivers tab of Software Sources and it said it succeeded, but upon reboot graphics were busted. The display was low- resolution and Unity failed to start. It appears that nvidia-current did not pull in the prerequisites for building the nvidia kernel module: $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current Reading package lists...
