xserver can't load 'wfb module error' after feisty install.

[Benjamin Chung]

I upgraded from Edgy Eft to Feisty Herd 5, and X crashed. It says my Nvidia kernel did not match the one in the kernel. I had to install the latest Nvidia Driver from nvidia.com to fix this, and it worked fine afterwards.

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. How did you go about updating your system from Edgy to Feisty? Thanks in advance.

Hi Brian,

I used updated-manager -c -d in the terminal to upgrade.

Thanks,
Ben

Could you check and see if the linux-restricted kernel modules are installed? Thanks again.

[Benjamin Chung (crazebenny)]

Yes, linux-restricted is installed. I'm not sure if I mentioned this but
I was just mentioning the bug and I have also provided HOW i was about
to fix it on my machine. It looks like the nvidia-kernel that is being
downloaded from the aptitude isn't the latest kernel, even though it
says it is, but I'm not sure. How I fixed it was by downloading the
latest nvidia drivers from nvidia.com and the X worked perfectly fine
after I installed it.

Thanks,
Ben

Could you please also attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/* ?

Thanks,

This same bug was reported again in Bug #103050 . This looks like facing anyone who winds up using the nvidia-glx-new driver...
