BTW, for anyone who is interested in getting this to work: (quoting solution from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1741754)
"[The] problem is that you have the nvidia driver installed as a deb package but not the driver itself, for which you need the kernel headers. Install the package kernel-headers-blabla corresponding to your current kernel (see uname -a). Then do install --reinstall of the nvidia package or install --reinstall of the linux kernel - this will force the creation of the nvidia kernel module. Reboot. Those commands: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic-pae" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710744 Title: after installing PAE kernel NVIDIA driver does not work - no GUI -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
