Public bug reported: on initial install from the nov 18 daily live cd dkms/jockey attempted to install the nvidia 173 driver resulting in a black screen on boot . I hand installed the the 290.10 driver direct from nvidia , this allowed me to get to a desktop but now everytime something causes dkms/jockey to run I get a warning that it failed to install the 173 driver , my card (nvidia 7600gs ) requires the nvidia-current not the nvidia 173 .
