X failure with195.36.15-0ubuntu3

[agent 8131]

I had upgraded to 195.36.15-0ubuntu3 only to find that upon reboot X wouldn't start.

I think the relevant Xord.log lines were:

(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

I fixed the problem by reverting to 195.36.15-0ubuntu2

This bug can probably be closed. I ran into some similar problems with the release of 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04. I solved the problem by purging all nvidia packages. Then removing the directories:

/usr/lib32/nvidia-current
/usr/lib/nvidia-current

which were not empty meaning somehow cruft had accumulated in them. I then reinstalled nvidia-current and everything seemed to work. I have my fingers crossed that the next driver update will happen without any issues.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
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.
