First of all, the installer from Nvidia's website is not supported (as
it can break the system that we use in Ubuntu) and whenever a kernel is
updated you will have to rebuild the module manually.

Using only Jockey and Ubuntu's packages should work, provided that the
metapackage for your kernel headers (e.g. linux-headers-generic) is
installed as you will update the headers when you receive a kernel
update. Also, installing the nvidia package without enabling the driver
will result in a failure.

I'm unable to help you with this problem because:
1) you don't seem to have a clean system any more (as you used the nvidia installer)
2) you didn't provide any logs which could help debugging (such as the output of dmesg, Xorg.0.log, etc.). For future reference, filing a bug report by typing the following command includes (most of) the relevant information: "ubuntu-bug nvidia-current"

As a result, I'm marking this bug report as Incomplete. Of course,
should you want to do a clean installation of Ubuntu and to try to
reproduce the problem, I'd be glad to help you through the debugging
process.

** Changed in: jockey (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Package changed: jockey (Ubuntu) => nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu)
