Public bug reported:
I've just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04. After having to activate the nv
driver manually, since GDM insisted in starting in low graphics mode,
I'm now unable to activate nvidia restricted drivers through jockey
(Hardware Drivers). Nvidia drivers simply don't show up. "No proprietary
drivers are in use...".
Running jockey-gtk through console gives "modinfo for module nvidia*
failed: modinfo: could not find module nvidia*" for nvidia_new, nvidia,
nvidia_legacy and nvidia_new.
I already tried reinstalling nvidia-glx and linux-restricted-modules
through apt-get - this seemed to fix the problem to many users, but it
didn't work for me.
Forcing modprobe (after editing xorg.conf to use nvidia drivers) gives:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/firer# modprobe -v nvidia
install /sbin/lrm-video nvidia
FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
I don't know if this relates to this problem, but I just upgraded the
kernel to version 2.6.24-17.
