Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nvidia-current
In Lucid 10.04: I have a 4GB machine but the installation process installed a non-PAE kernel, causing only 3GB to be available. I manually installed the PAE generic kernel package (BUT FORGOT TO INSTALL THE HEADERS PACKAGE FOR IT) and rebooted, then I installed nvidia-current. Installation did not report an error but X would not start after reboot. The cause was that the kernel driver compile failed because the headers were missing. I think nvidia-current should pull those in, and should report an installation failure if they are missing. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nvidia-current failed compile without reporting error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
