There seems to be an easy solution to this. The proprietary Nvidia driver uses the kernel headers to perform its job (the specifics of which I'm not quite clear on). Simply installing the new -pae kernel headers solved this problem for me.
I'm not versed at all with the way packages are structured, but is there a way to add a conditional dependency. e.g. if upgrading to pae kernel and the closed-source nvidia drivers are installed, then the headers should be installed as well? -- 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/710744/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
