Can you please describe the exact steps that you did and what you saw? (Feel free to attach screenshots.) How did you enable the nvidia driver?

Also, please upgrade your system to the latest packages. You are still running kernel -12, and there is a new restricted-manager, too.

I encountered this problem as well using the Gutsy beta. After modifying my /etc/sudoers file to allow my non-root account to do anything, it worked. I believe the cause is that there's no request, from the restricted drivers manager (clicking on the icon) for the root password and it therefore it can't install the driver.
