I wonder what is there that takes so long to get the latest stable drivers into Ubuntu main repos. I mean the stable Nvidia-185.18 driver was already out on 28th July 09. The Nvidia-190.42 was out on 29th October 09, the day when Karmic was released. Now we have Nvidia-195.22-beta public out (24th

Timo, yes you are right about that. Lucid main repo lags behind now. Still, if I wait for the official repos to be updated and either not upgrade to new xorg or do not use nvidia drivers, I feel like being on my own too. The PPA I mentioned offered nvidia graphics drivers that work really well. It

Harry: those are not in lucid yet. Installing packages from third party repos might cause problems when upgrading to the distro packages, and then you are on your own. -- Nvidia-glx is removed by a new xorg 7.5 [lucid] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494166 You received this bug notification beca

ComputerJy, you will have to add the ~sevenmachines repo to your sources.list (Nvidia PPA). Then you can install 190 or 195 for example with Synaptic. -- Nvidia-glx is removed by a new xorg 7.5 [lucid] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494166 You received this bug notification because you are a me

Timo Aaltonen, not quite right. As I already mentioned in my previous post (#2), there is a compatible nvidia driver around. And just to mention, there are other distros (like Arch), where xorg7.5/xorg1.7 does not cause trouble like this. By the way, Nvidia drivers 190 and 195beta do have support

But this the issue. You can't use a computer without a graphics driver. Anyway, where can I find the package "nvidia-graphics-drivers-190" it doesn't show up on my repos -- Nvidia-glx is removed by a new xorg 7.5 [lucid] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494166 You received this bug notification be

There is no compatible nvidia driver available, so removing the one that doesn't work is what happens, and rightly so. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) -- Nvidia-glx is removed by a new xorg 7.5 [lucid] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494166 You received

Péter, that is of course one kind of a solution. I have investigated the issue a bit further. As I mentioned in my bug report, the issue is the virtual package xserver-xorg-video-5. That one is provided, if one installs the nvidia-glx-185 from lucid repos. A true solution to this problem would be
