Nvidia driver version 173 didn't end, stopping DKMS module never ended

[David Tardio]

I tried to upgrade nvidia driver from version 173 to 185, but DKMS stopping modules phase of uninstalling process didn't end in 1 hour or so, so I restarted and couldn't finish the uninstallation in just one step

Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
