[ubuntu] Error inserting nvidia_current

view full story

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I'm a Ubuntu noob and I'm trying to configure my NVidia graphics card. I installed the nvidia_current drivers (with kpackagekit) and ran nvidia_xconfig, but X did not start. The nvidia kernel module was not loaded. When I tried to manually do a modprobe nvidia, this is the error I got: FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current (/lib/modules/2.6.32-18-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia-current.ko): No such device What am I missing? Thanks, Lene (Hardware)

How to ensure nvidia_current module loads during boot 30 weeks 3 hours ago
