Comment 6 for bug 273801

When I typed sudo sh nvidia-bug-report.sh
and then entered my password I got:
sh: Can't open nvidia-bug-report.sh

I then reactivated the Nvidia driver version 173, rebooted,and again got
the black screen.

After repairing the Xserver in recovery mode,
I tried typing again: sudo sh nvidi-bug-report.sh, and again
got sh: Can't open nvidia-bug-report.sh

One thing that I noticed when I reactivated version 173 is that when I
selected it, the bottom of the hardware driver screen states that a
different version of the driver is in use. Is there any signifigance to
that?

I also tried again running nvidia-xconfig as root and editing
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

When I ran nvidia-xconfig, I got a message that there must be a driver
line, but when used gedit to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf there was a driver
line and the word "nvidia". In addition, the section you told me to
delete in your first message was there:

Section "Files"
