Installing NVIDIA driver on UBUNTU

[dblkickflip720]

I have UBUNTU 11.10 desktop version on my comp and i am trying to install a driver for my nvidia gtx 560 ti video card. When i go to additional drivers, click NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver, and click activate, it downloads half way, and then i get this error message:
Sorry, installation of this driver failed.

Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log

When i go to jockey.log it says this:

Change directory to /var/cache/apt/archives and delete the debian (.deb) files and then do

apt-get update
