Can you please give me the output of this command (from a Terminal):
python -c 'from NvidiaDetector.nvidiadetector import NvidiaDetection;
print NvidiaDetection().selectDriver()'
Thanks!

There seem to be two different issues here:
The -173 version does not build:

Nov 21 19:42:40 ubuntu ubiquity: Building only for 3.1.0-2-generic

As for the wrongly detected driver version, can someone with an affected
NVidia system please attach /var/log/jockey.log after the failed
install? It should be in the target system, i. e. after reboot, not in
the live environment. It would also be helpful if you could give me the
output of
My oneiric install has now been upgraded to precise so presumably my logs won't
help. In fact /var/log/jockey.log is empty.
I could install oneiric again and then post the outputs you request if you
think that might help.

Either from oneiric or a precise install would be fine. It should tell
me more about why it selects the 173 driver. Thanks!

I've unduped bug #893760 to focus on the -173 build issue, which
appears to be specific to precise. This bug report can focus on the
issue with jockey picking -173 instead of -current, which appears to
affect oneiric and precise.

Thanks for all the info Bryce, and the extra bugs. The problem seems to
have gone largely un-noticed previously, possibly because most people
don't check that box during installation? I know I don't usually.

I'm setting the priority of the -nvidia bug task to High, although I
think this isn't a fault in the driver itself, but rather an error in
the algorithm selecting the binary package to be installed. (Ubiquity
presumably??)

Quackers, can you explain what you mean by This is not a 12-04 bug,
it's a 11-10 installer bug? Are you reproducing this fresh installing
Oneiric onto a system? I'm definitely seeing this on Precise but don't
recall running into it for Oneiric install testing.

Yes, at the time I was doing a fresh install of 11-10 which was to be upgraded
to 12-04 for testing.
I checked the box for the 3rd party drivers and after installation and
rebooting I found that the 173 driver had been installed rather than the
nvidia-current driver, which is the correct driver
Was able to reproduce this bug myself (#893760) after a fresh install of
Precise.

Alright, well it definitely affects precise. I'll add an oneiric tag so
once the issue is discovered it can be evaluated for possible SRU.

In digging through ubiquity, it looks like ubiquity hands off control to
jockey via dbus, and it seems jockey runs into trouble. In the log it
seems jockey is unable to find (or create?) it's cache, and so I wonder
if that may be what's steering it off the cliff.

Bug #888273 has the same warning (against 11.10), although description
is ambiguous if it was encountered under same conditions as this.
** Description changed:
During 11-10 install on checking the 3rd party programs box the Nvidia 173
driver is installed.
However my graphics card uses the
I have a sense that it is selecting -173 because it's the last thing in
the list. However I'm not spotting in the code where exactly that list
might be.
The error message is from get_modinfo() in detection.py.
