I have the exact same problem on two machines I tried to load Karmic on today. After "installing" the 185 drivers in the hardware-drivers utility, I reboot into a blank screen. XOrg.0.log says:
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages. (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) (EE) No drivers available. The 173 drivers do infact work fine. -- xorg: failed to load module "nvidia" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/450493 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
