Bug Description
The nvidia driver cannot be enabled in xorg.conf because xorg.conf fails the md5sum check. This is on a kubuntu dapper installed using the Live CD. I haven't touched xorg.conf manually and I still get this
If I run md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/
and then sudo nvidia-glx-config enable in a terminal it works.
I tried to modify packagelist-
Executing:
apt-get -o=dir:

nvidia-glx is already the newest version.
nvidia-
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.
Executing:
md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | tee /var/lib/
Executing:
nvidia-glx-config enable
