Public bug reported: Release: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (xenial)
Upgrading dkms from 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.6 to 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.7 (the "fix" for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/1827697) breaks installation of custom kernels again, as it undoes the fixes done for bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia- common/+bug/292606 . To be specific, during package install (either via dpkg or apt-get) I'm now getting the following error from /usr/sbin/update-grub-legacy-ec2 which is run from /etc/kernel/postinst.d/x-grub-legacy-ec2 (after running /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms): 20 Unsupported command "*" (full line was " * dkms: running auto installation service for kernel ...") received from confmodule. The only solution I've found so far is to downgrade dkms to 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.6. ** Affects: dkms (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dkms in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838839 Title: Install of custom kernel fails after recent dkms update Status in dkms package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Release: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (xenial) Upgrading dkms from 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.6 to 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.7 (the "fix" for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/1827697) breaks installation of custom kernels again, as it undoes the fixes done for bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia- common/+bug/292606 .
