Cannot install Nvidia drivers

rated 0 times [ 12] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 22942 / 2 Years ago, sat, august 6, 2022, 11:59:39

I have 12.04 running on Intel dual core with Nvidia 8400 GS.
I had installed the post-relase updates for Nvidia, but encountered some problems, so removed [deactivated] them through "Aditional drivers".

After restarting, when I went to install the recommended version current drivers through "Additional drivers", I get the following error:

Sorry, installation of this driver failed.



Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
