10.10 upgrade problem nVidia

[the_nite_owl]

Hi all.
After upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 I am booting directly to command prompt instead of the GUI. If I try using startx to bring up the gui it tells me "FATAL: Module nvidia not found."

Upgrading to 10.04 went great even after receiving a lot of error messages during upgrade. Going to 10.10 gave no errors whatsoever but apparently blew out my nvidia drivers.
Anyone have advice on how to restore the nvidia drivers from command prompt?

Thanks.

ok let's go, copy/paste each line below one at a time then "enter":

sudo rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
sudo apt-get install nvidia-common
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

then reboot and check driver activation: system admin additional driver, and run nvidia-settings if you want a custom config (system admin nvidia-settings)

That did the trick for me, thanks dino99.
