Processing triggers for libc6 ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place This same build error occurs when I attempt to use nVidia's own installer, so it may be their bug against the newer kernel. lspci reports my nVidia card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15BR [GeForce2 Ultra, Bladerunner] (rev a4) which should reportedly be supported by the nvidia-glx-71 package. nvidia-detector returns "none," which is obviously wrong, but documented elsewhere (on bug #292749). I first encountered this problem on an upgraded installation of 8.10. I have since replicated it on the 8.10 live CD (since I didn't trust that I had removed all traces of the old, manually-installed driver.) It occurs under both 2.6.27-7-generic and 2.6.27-10-generic. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-71 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nvidia-glx-71 fails to compile module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309790 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
