I have just had my bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305526) marked a duplicate of this one. For me, the NVidia drivers and nvidia-common are already installed.
Running sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-{headers,restricted- modules}-`uname -r` did not solve the problem, but just did the same thing it always does when I run apt-get (namely, displays the long error message and quits). -- dist-upgrading Intrepid failed because of nvidia-common exiting with return code 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273681 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
