The problem didn't occur with the most current update. I ran aptitude safe-upgrade and nvidia-current was marked as upgradeable.
nvidia-current 295.33-0ubuntu1~oneiric~xup1 => 295.40-0ubuntu1~oneiric~xup1 nvidia-settings 295.33-0ubuntu1~oneiric~xup1 => 295.40-0ubuntu1~oneiric~xup1 nvidia-settings was upgraded transitively. I'd like to leave this bug open until I successfully upgraded to 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964067 Title: nvidia-current and nvidia-settings fails to install automatically To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/964067/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
