Can you please start the driver manager and then attach /var/log/jockey.log? Did you use jockey for installing the nvidia driver, or did you install it by downloading from nvidia.com?

Ah, there we go:

  ImportError: No module named NvidiaDetector.nvidiadetector

Apparenlty you uninstalled the nvidia-common package. This will make jockey's nvidia handler non-functional; it shouldn't display the nvidia module at all in this case.
