nividia-glx-173 doesnt work with 2.6.28 in Jaunty

[John Vivirito]

After updating Jaunty kernel to 2.6.28-2-* nvidia drivers stopped working I'm attaching X log for last session.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

AThe above is last login under 2.6.28 im now attaching failsafe log.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I tried asigning the 2.6.28 version but it seems i cant, search shows nothing for it.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

For some reason linux-restricted-modules wasnt iupgraded when kernel upgrade I'm gonna reboot and update bug as needed.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I tried using failsafe mode but never got gdm, gnome or TTY* here is updated failsafe log.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Finailly got GDM too boot in low graphics session. Using jockey-gtk it shows that no drivers are being used so i clicked activate and it says its installing pacakages but nothing happens it brings me right back to screen and it says its not active. Attaching xorg.conf

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

It seems that nvidia-glx-173 wasnt installed but why not? shouldnt it have been upgraded since it was already installed on 2.6.26 kernel? I will update bug after i finish this.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Jockey should have installed the drivers as well but didnt

Abort.

I'm assuming Nvidia needs build on new Xorg packages,

It seems that this bug is related to LP#305706 [1] (and vice versa :) ).
Building and installing the nvidia driver v. 173.14.15, should fix your problem.
