NOTE  I am not deleting my answer on purpose  so people see how not to do it   If you use   me over there     dpkg --status nvidia-current   grep Version   cut -f 1 -d  -    sed  s     0-9   g  260 19 06   you will get the version of the nVIDIA driver package installed through your distribution s packaging mechanism  But this may not be the version that is actually running as part of your kernel right now
