Public bug reported:
Because of a bug in the nvidia-180 package the installation of the
driver with jockey failed (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/450493) but i didn't get an error
message when installing the driver with the jockey-gtk.
I think jockey had been able to recognize that the installation wasn't
completely done, cause there are some error messages in the jockey.log:
Setting up patch (2.5.9-5) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
2009-10-13 13:37:47,669 ERROR:

2009-10-13 13:37:47,837 WARNING: modinfo for module nvidia failed:

2009-10-13 13:37:47,914 DEBUG: XorgDriverHandler device sections ({0:
['\tIdentifier\t"Default Device"\n', '\tDriver\t"nvidia"\n']})
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/450493/comments/4)
There should been at least a warning, better an option to fall-back to
the actually working, installed driver.
I think in case of future bugs in driver-packages, users with no
experience aren't able to boot to console and edit xorg.conf to make
their system boot able again.
