    Heads up: nvidia-310 on kernel 3.8.0-17-generic fails to build

    Nvidia-304 (also nvidia-current, which at present points to 304) was a disaster, so I installed nvidia-310-updates. It worked well until today, when the 3.8.0-17-generic (amd64) kernel was installed by an update. At that point, 310 failed to build, and consequently, no kde.

    Installing nvidia-313-updates and nvidia-settings-313-updates fixed the problem.

    The nvidia driver wouldn't load after I upgraded to Raring. I uninstalled it and was pleasantly suprised to find that the nouveau driver now works in the last spot holding me to the nvidia drivers (citrix stuff in a windows vm would lose the mouse cursor).

      Unfortunately for me, hibernate and sleep crash KDE (on restore) with the nouveau driver. Nvida works fine.

        Nouveau has come a long way. I can actually play 3d games under wine using them. Performance is TERRIBLE, but I can play them.

        ... still plan to move back to the nvidia drivers once all the bumps get sorted out, though.
