Reboot to the 3.2.0-29-generic kernel and the Nvidia driver should be working again. However if it is intentional for some reason that you are running the old kernel, you should install the package linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic from the 11.10 repository and then reinstall the nvidia-current package which should now succeed building the module. Hm. Now the weirdness is that 3.2 doesn't even show up as an option in Grub. But I did sudo updat-grub, and that seems to have fixed that problem. Now X is working and Nvidia drivers seem to be working (mostly) as well. Thanks for the clue!! I'm still having some problems, though: * keyboard isn't working beyond the login screen * window decorations are missing * all of my desktop effects are not working I guess I'll keep hammering away at this for now... What's really weird is that my keyboard seems to be working fine to a point. I can Alt+Tab+Fx to get to a terminal and I can use my keyboard to navigate menus. I can also use non-KDE applications (e.g., LibreOffice) just fine. It's just with KDE applications that my keyboard doesn't interact with. Any thoughts on this, anyone? </blockquote> Did you possibly upgrade to KDE 4.9 from kubuntu backports ppa? Because when I did I had to do a dist-upgrade to get all packages, normal ap-get upgrade held back over a 100 packages as I recall it. And that might cause loads of weird problems /Sinclair </blockquote><div> </div><div>Hi Sinclair,</div><div> </div><div>I'm not exactly sure what happened.
