2012-10-19 11:35:51 Norbert description I have 12.10 (upgraded from 12.04) on my USB-flash and Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT. I tried to install all versions of Nvidia drivers (nvidia-current, nvidia-current-updates, nvidia-experimental-304) from software-properties-gtk. Install process is succesfull for all three, but there is no blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and after reboot I get nouveau in lsmod. modinfo reports that nvidia drivers are installed correctly, modprobe fails with message "FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current (/lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_current.ko): No such device'" because of conflict with nouveau. May this is a complex problem of nvidia-detector, software-properties-gtk, etc...
