I discovered the source of the bug. Although I was running with the 2.6.32 kernel I had also installed an experimental 10.04 2.6.35 kernel. The nvidia driver install would succeed building itself for the 2.6.32 kernel but when it tried to compile for the 2.6.35 kernel it would fail.
After completely uninstalling the 2.6.35 kernel package using synaptic everything started working fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/761747 Title: package nvidia-173 173.14.22-0ubuntu11 failed to install/upgrade: nvidia-173 kernel module failed to build -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
