Public bug reported:
I just installed a new kernel, and when I did so my Nvidia kernel
modules were handled through DKMS, as you would expect. However, during
what I believe is normal operation, I saw the following stanza (repeated
for several nvidia .ko files):
nvidia.ko:
Running module version sanity check.
modinfo: ERROR: missing module or filename.
- Original module
- No original module exists within this kernel
- Installation
- Installing to /lib/modules/5.0.0-20-generic/updates/dkms/
The "ERROR" in here gave me pause, but I _believe_ that's an expected
message for a new kernel.
It would make for a less troubling user experience if we didn't print
out "ERROR" in all caps when there is no error at all.
