2008-10-14 16:30:44 Charlie Kravetz linux-meta: statusexplanation Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. I am adding the WorkAround provided to the description. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
2008-10-14 16:34:04 Charlie Kravetz description recent (since around 2.6.24.5, but I could be mistaken) linux-restricted-modules-generic packages are apparently providing an nvidia kernel module that cannot load, instead giving the following error: #modprobe nvidia FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.24-8-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko': No such file or directory my guess is a broken link pointer somewhere, but 'locate nvidia.ko' returns nothing, so it's possible that the kernel module isn't being installed at all. I'm running the latest alpha of Xubuntu Hardy. I have both linux-restricted-modules-generic and nvidia-glx-new installed.

Thanks, EE WORKAROUND: 1. remove "nv" from the list of DISABLED_MODULES in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common 2. Restart the computer
