Bug#574614: /usr/bin/module-assistant: fails building nvidia-kernel module and interface gets confused

2010-03-19 Thread Nicola Manini
Package: module-assistant
Version: 0.11.3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/module-assistant


While building nvidia-kernel in squeeze, the kbuild fails as follows:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel'
NVIDIA: calling KBUILD...
make CC=gcc-4.3 -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-3-686/build
SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel modules
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-3-686'
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 0 modules
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-3-686'
NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!

The above might reflect a bug of linux-kbuild-2.6.32 , or of
nvidia-kernel-source, rather than of m-a.

After this failure, the m-a enters the menu which proposes to
 VIEW  Examine the build log file 
 CONTINUE  Skip and continue with the next operation 
 STOP  Stop processing the build commands 
After VIEWing the log, the m-a remains in a confused state, by pressing
down-arrow to reach CONTINUE os STOP, some undetectable lines scroll below
the fake windows, and m-a exits.

This is surely a bug of m-a.
It may help to know that I was running it in a xterm.
I provide a snapshot of the terminal after this failure, in attachment.
I also attach the full m-a log.

Thanx!
NM

Hello,

Nicola Manini nicola.man...@mi.infm.it (19/03/2010):

looks like, yeah.

 After this failure, the m-a enters the menu which proposes to
  VIEW  Examine the build log file
  CONTINUE  Skip and continue with the next operation
  STOP  Stop processing the build commands
 After VIEWing the log, the m-a remains in a confused state, by pressing
 down-arrow to reach CONTINUE os STOP, some undetectable lines scroll below
 the fake windows, and m-a exits.
 
 This is surely a bug of m-a.

Looks like, too. :)

I'm currently busy with X11 stuff, I'll try to kill some m-a bugs next
week. Feel free to ping back if you don't hear from me by then.

Mraw,
KiBi.
