Bug Description

Upgraded the kernel of my Ubuntu 10.04LTS installation to linux-image-generic-pae-lts-backport-oneiric

After restart, I had issues with the graphical interface ... the xserver could not be started ... problems with loading nvidia driver

Uninstalled proprietary nvidia driver and reinstalled it again ... resulting in this bug report

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Using the PPA " ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates " to get an updated nvidia driver does not work.

The PPA " ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-backports" seems no longer be available
