The problem could be solved. The steps described in various tutorials (remove all existing nvidia- packages, install headers etc.) didn't help even reinstalling.
I realized that copying my system to a new disk (ssd :-) ) was uncomplete. After fixing that everything worked again. I don't now what was missing maybe a an apt-get install build-essential would have also helped. There are scattered reports of people with the same problem with various debian and ubuntu versions that might have the same reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249794 Title: nvidia fails to install Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-304” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: old problem with nvidia ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: nvidia-current (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-13.20-generic 3.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Nov 10 17:00:01 2013 MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=de:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-10-20 (20 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1249794/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
