Re: Can't install nvidia-current after installing hardware enablement stack
Hi!, bamm,
You Posted
Code:
:I am running 12.04 precise pangolin LTS.
Presumably that was 12.04.2, but was it from an update, or with a clean install ?.
Both will show 12.04.2 from:
Code:
cat /etc/lsb-release
but it needs 'uname -r' to distinguish, or the contents shown in Synaptic.
When I tried to install a nvidia driver from Synaptic, [ Edit: in a clean install of 12.04.2] I got a warning that a lot of the 'lts-quantal' and backports files would be uninstalled, so I dropped it and installed the Nvidia.com downloaded driver, without problems.
There are other similar reports - installing 'Steam'. for example.
Chao!, bogan.

They did things differently in those days, apparently!!
