[Bug 1068341] Re: No way to specify correct dependencies for dkms packages (nvidia driver install fails to get matching header)
Since 12.10, the kernel header packages for Ubuntu are not installed by default. This breaks all DKMS modules, including virtualbox and nvidia- current. I maintain the DKMS module bbswitch and it is tempting to add a dependency on linux-headers-generic because Ubuntu/dkms screws this up. DKMS is used for building kernel modules, without headers it cannot do anything. In Raring, the dependency on linux-headers is completely removed, trusting the initial Ubuntu installer even more. Is this reasonable? I don't think so, the dependencies should be handled by dpkg, not by the installer. If DKMS cannot function without kernel headers, it MUST install kernel headers. ** Also affects: dkms (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068341 Title: No way to specify correct dependencies for dkms packages (nvidia driver install fails to get matching header) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/1068341/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a serious problem. A fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 followed by switching to the Nvidia binary drivers will give you a completely blank desktop on next reboot. Someone new to Linux will have no idea what to do. Steps to reproduce: 1. Do a new, clean install of Ubuntu 12.10, and boot into it. Optionally update packages to the latest versions, they don't fix anything as of this post. 2. System settings - Software sources - Additional drivers - select and activate any binary Nvidia driver. Installation completes without any errors. 3. Reboot, log in if not automatic.

I wanted to also confirm that comment #8 is incorrect and this bug can be experienced with the Additional Drivers method of installing the NVIDIA binary driver as well. (As far as I can tell this would affect anyone with an NVIDIA wanting to use the binary drivers, but then I would expect this bug to see a lot more traffic) I did a clean Ubuntu 12.10 install today and needed to install the NVIDIA binary driver due to nouveau causing GPU lockups shortly after bootup with my GTX580 (worked around with nomodeset). So directly after installation I applied some updates, rebooted, and used the Additional Drivers screen to install the nvidia-current drivers. Rebooted again, but now Unity didn't seem to come up correctly (desktop was visible, but nothing else), and it appeared the nvidia kernel module wasn't loaded (not in 'lsmod' output), and wasn't found by doing a modprobe either. I then finally got it working by installing the linux-headers and reinstalling nvidia-current as was suggested by a previous comment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068341 Title: No way to specify correct dependencies for dkms packages (nvidia driver install fails to get matching header) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1068341/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I need to elaborate my previous comment: I'm running 12.10 amd64, and those updates I installed did include a kernel update (3.5.0-18). It would seem that I did have linux-headers installed for the intially installed kernel (linux-headers-3.5.0-17), but the updates I installed did not include the kernel headers for the new kernel.
