Title:
  Since I updated to 12.10 Nvidia crashes DEL E6410

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I updated from a very stable 12.04(LTS) to a unreliable 12.10. Cannot
  get nvidia driver to load even when following following instrucions:

  Before switching to the nvidia drivers you need to install linux-
  source and linux-headers. After the source is installed, try switching
  to the nvidia drivers.

  Here is how:

  Switch to a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1).

  Login as your username.

  Install linux source (sudo apt-get install linux-source) and headers
  (sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic).

  Uninstall nvidia driver - this depends on which version you installed
  (sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current or sudo apt-get remove nvidia-
  current-updates or sudo apt-get remove nvidia-experimental-304).

  Reinstall nvidia driver (sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates).

  If it successfully installs, restart the computer (sudo shutdown -r
  now).
