[LUNI] Switching distros yet again

[Gene Jannece]

The guy in the thread was right, you had conflicting repos. 
If you would have removed a few of them then it work have worked
fine. Every time a new kernel comes out you need to get the nvidia
driver to work with the new kernel. This is automatically, but you had
more then one repository providing the driver so they would cancel each other
out.

Glad Ubuntu worked for you.
