Hi,
I get “FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current_updates (/lib/modules/3.2.0-24-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_current_updates.ko): No such device”

after running “sudo modprobe nvidia_current_updates”

Can someone advice on how to proceed from here? Until this command everything went smooth.

Hi Oded,

I’m Fertony, I install the nvidia driver with your help, but I find that in the “normal” mode, there are a lot desktop effects were gone, like press and hold the key(Super/win) would show a KeyTips Panel，but now it does not effect. And I run “glxgears”, it shows “xlib: extension “GLX” missing on display “:0.0″.”., run “optirun glxgears” workes properly. Can you help me to fix it? Thank you.

You should stick to linsux because you sound like an idiot when talking about Windows. I’m sure that’s because you are an idiot.
