I got the 180 (?) drivers to work. This is haw I did it (in desperation) I used synaptic and removed anything I could find under a search for nvidia. On reboot I had nothing in hardware drivers (said no drivers in use). I then used the synaptic to install the 190 drivers, I am not sure why they did not show up after adding the launchpad ppa file source? on reboot I still hand nothing in hardware drives and could nor invoke them. I then added the nividia-common and rebooted. I am not sure if I needed to reboot all these times, but it is a knee jerk reaction from being slaved by windows. any way I was able run hardware divers (still blank) and it started to download drivers. I used the 180 at the top of the list and rebooted. Viola it worked. I still have the 190 drivers in synaptic, but they are not a selection in hardware drivers? Not to beet a dead horse but I had no problems before the last big update (120 I think).
