NVidia 185 driver couldn’t be activated (Ubuntu – Karmic Koala)

After I installed the graphic drivers I've done a reboot and ended up with a blank screen (black).
Booting from a Live CD and editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file was the fastest way the fix this.
You have to alter the Driver entry of line 12 from nvidia to nv. Save and reboot.

Section "Screen"
 Identifier    "Default Screen"
 DefaultDepth    24
EndSection

Section "Module"
 Load    "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
 Identifier    "Default Device"
 Driver    "nvidia"
 Option    "NoLogo"    "True"
EndSection



After this I was back Online and I've executed this command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-185-kernel-source



It [dpkg-reconfigure] reconfigures packages after they've already been configured and installed.

Reboot and afterwards it should work properly.


More information:
