jockey - Cannot install Nvidia drivers




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



Remove all possibly installed packages:



sudo apt-get remove nvidia-173 nvidia-current nvidia-current-updates


Clean up:



sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove



Install driver:



sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates
