This is not a problem with the nvidia graphics drivers packages in Ubuntu. I see that you downloaded the script from nVidia, instead of installing the package from intrepid-updates.
First, check your software sources. You can do this in Gnome from ... System --> Administration --> Software Sources or in Synaptic from Settings --> Repositories Go to the updates tab and check that Recommended Updates (intrepid- updates) is checked. Make sure that you somehow reload the package list. (The "Reload" button in Synaptic will do this) You'll want to remove the effects of the nVidia script (honestly, been awhile since I used the nVidia script, but I believe they send removal instructions with the script). Unfortunately, I remember seeing indications in the forums that the nVidia script can mess things up, but I'm not certain what all you need to do to strip it back off. Perhaps others can contribute here? Once the nVidia version is gone (use the nv or vesa driver in the meantime), go to your favorite package manager and make sure either jockey-gtk (for gnome, xubuntu, etc) or jockey-kde (for kubuntu) is installed. Also, make sure dkms is installed. Exit your package manager and go to... System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers Choose the appropriate driver for your system and select activate. Once everything gets finished, go back into your package manager and make sure you have the latest version of nvidia-glx-96 (or whichever version you installed in Hardware Drivers). Then you should be ready for restart. -- package nvidia-glx-96 None failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317455 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
