Public bug reported:
After upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 Beta I was unable to enable the
restricted nvidia driver.
Both 173 and 177 are offered and clicking on activate downloads the
respective driver. However the activation doesn't work and on reboot
xwindows fails to load (non-loaded nvidia kernel driver specified in
xorg.conf).
Running the install command from the command line references missing
linux-headers for the kernel (2.6.27-4-generic). After installing these
the nvidia restricted driver installs OK.
The "Hardware Drivers" applet should check for missing linux-headers and
install them beforehand.
