Public bug reported: A fresh installation of UBUNTU 9.10, trying to activate nvidia driver version 195 under Administration -> Hardware Drivers. It gets about 1/3 through the installation and then stops indefinitely. I tried it several times. I eventually manually installed 195 drivers directly from nvidia site.
I have a GT 220 graphics card running on an Asus K8N4-E Deluxe motherboard with an AMD64 single core CPU and with 3GB RAM.
