http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello there, this is my first thread. I've Ubuntu 9.04 installed and i've the generic driver that gives me a horrible screen resolution. In earlier versions I installed the proprietary driver downloaded from nvidia's site. I installed the kernel headers and run the driver and everything worked well. But this is not happening in this version. I've the newest driver for my card, installed the kernel headers with: Code: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` And that install the kernel headers, i have the 2.6.28-15-generic. When i run the driver, first stopped my GDM, accept the lisence, and following the normal steps, and when it goes to create the kernel modules is stopped by an error. I put the out of the Nvidia installer log: Code: nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Thu Oct 8 16:10:47 2009 installer version: 1.0.7 option status: license pre-accepted : false update : false force update : false expert : false uninstall : false driver info : false precompiled interfaces : true no ncurses color : false query latest version : false OpenGL header files : true no questions : false silent : false no recursion : false no backup : false kernel module only : false sanity : false add this kernel : false no runlevel check : false no network : false no ABI note : false no RPMs : false no kernel module : false force SELinux : default no X server check : false no cc version check : false force tls : (not specified) X install prefix : (not specified) X library install path : (not specified) X module install path : (not specified) OpenGL install prefix : (not specified) OpenGL install libdir : (not specified) utility install prefix : (not specified) utility install libdir : (not specified) doc install prefix : (not specified) kernel name : (not specified) kernel include path : (not specified) kernel source path : (not specified) kernel output path : (not specified) kernel install path : (not specified) proc mount point : /proc ui : (not specified) tmpdir : /tmp ftp mirror : ftp://download.nvidia.com RPM file list : (not specified) Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> License accepted. -> Installing NVIDIA driver version 96.43.07. -> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)?

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. What could be happening? I have noticed that there is not much support for older video cards in ubuntu. Greetings and thanks for your time (Hardware)
