Comment 40 for bug 576648

Sorry,I don't use the ubuntu linux system these days.When I enter the system, I'll try to solve the problem as you said.By the way,should I do some operations to indicate the problem on the website so that the others could know the problem has been solved.
I'm a freshman in the ubuntu forum,so I don't understand the rule very well.
My English is poor. I hope you could understand what I say above.

主题: [Bug 576648] Re: package nvidia-* failed to install/upgrade: nvidia-* kernel module failed to build (Unable to determine the target kernel version.)

As another workaround that seems to suffice (no serious stability
testing, yet), and allows use of the newer kernels, one can pull
packages from the x-updates PPA:

Bug description:
  WORKAROUND:

  Revert back to the kernel version that your Ubuntu release came with:
      Ubuntu 10.04 --> kernel 2.6.32
      Ubuntu 11.04 --> kernel 2.6.38

  TEST CASE FOR 10.04:

  Starting with a fresh Ubuntu 10.04.3 installation...

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.0.0-8-generic
  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.0.0-8-generic
  # or should that be: install linux-lts-backport-oneiric ?
  # REBOOT
  sudo apt-get install nvidia-173
  # The above command fails with an error.

  # Check the exact error:
  cat /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-173/*/build/make.log

  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

  Brand new install of 10.04 onto a formatted hard drive. The upgrade
  icon said there was a restricted driver available - I clicked it. When
  I was running a Windows XP VMWare image, the video seemed to
  completely reset. I had to shut down and restart.
