I've just tried installing the latest NVidia driver (190.42) following
this thread: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3100807.0

The driver installed (compiled, etc.) correctly and appears to have been
loaded into kernel space (at least, the kernel log contained nothing
after the last line below, so I assume it loaded successfully):
