And the output of another code sudo jockey-text -l is


shailendra@shailendra-desktop:~$ sudo jockey-text -l
kmod:nvidia_current - nvidia_current (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)

Two questions:
1. Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
2. What happens if you tryand restart the system?

1.am using ubuntu 10.04
2.output of cmd sudo jockey-text -e kmod:nvidia_current is:

shailendra@shailendra-desktop:~$ sudo jockey-text -e kmod:nvidia_current
Unknown driver: kmod:nvidia_current
Use --list to see available drivers
shailendra@shailendra-desktop:~$

OK, let's try it a different way:

I got another NVIDIA graphic card GTS 430 which is of 2GB. How to get drivers for this .please help me..

After giving cmd: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
It installed some NVIDIA x Server but when I open that it POP UP A MESSAGE THAT "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."

Why dont you just use the GUI for jockey?

As for the GT430...you can add a PPA to get newer drivers that support the GT430 'the easy way' (aka jockey)-

https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa

*edit- ubuntu backports would work as well. As would a full manual install, but is easier with backports or a PPA.

Runand reboot, after that it should work.

This card is officially not supported by 10.04, AFAIK, you have to use the backports-repository to get the driver for that card, or just use a newer version of Ubuntu.

cascade9 am using ubuntu 10.04 and how to use GUI for jockey.

TobiSGD this is the output for sudo nvidia-xconfig:

shailendra@shailendra-desktop:~$ sudo nvidia-xconfig

Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

So your telling i cant get drivers for GT 430.
