moj0e's Journal: Ubuntu 11.10 upgrade/install NVidia

Nvidia drivers weren't loading. Error: could not allocate memory:

Solution:
Apparently this is a known bug, and i had to do the following to fix this:

edit /etc/default/grub
find the option GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and add nopat, so for me this looked like

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nopat"

run sudo update-grub
