Bug Description
recent (since around 2.6.24.5, but I could be mistaken) linux-restricte
#modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/
my guess is a broken link pointer somewhere, but 'locate nvidia.ko' returns nothing, so it's possible that the kernel module isn't being installed at all.
I'm running the latest alpha of Xubuntu Hardy. I have both linux-restricte
Thanks,
EE
WORKAROUND:
1. remove "nv" from the list of DISABLED_MODULES in
/etc/default/
2. Restart the computer
This was happening to me until I removed "nv"
from the list of DISABLED_MODULES in
/etc/default/ linux-restricte d-modules- common
Then I restarted.
Please confirm.
