When you get certain kernel updates (ABI bumps) the modules need to be recompiled. There is every attempt made to make sure these are done in sync for the stable release, but sometimes you don't get all of the packages installed at once. Could you check that you have the correct modules package installed, via something like dpkg -l linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) (this checks that the linux-restricted-modules package, which contains the nvidia kernel bits, that matches your currently running kernel is installed) Thanks, James -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
