nvidia driver problems after upgrading to 3.2.0-26 on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit
- by Lev Levitsky
After installing latest updates I can't set screen resolution higher than 1024x768; every time after the boot I get a message
Could not apply the stored configuration for the monitors
(Note: removing ~/.config/monitors.xml stopped the message, but not the problem)
I can boot with 3.2.0-25 and the graphics look normal. Here's what I have in /var/log/apt/term.log (excerpt):

I went to "additional drivers" and saw some updates available there, but an attempt to install them failed, leaving the following in /var/log/jockey.log (long log, pasted here). The full log won't fit in the question, so I'm showing
$ fgrep 'ERROR' /var/log/jockey.log

I'm not sure if it's a bug, as the first log shows some errors. What can I try?
