Flushing stdout is not going to help with this problem. As I said in comment #17, the error is caused by /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller sending text to debconf via stdout. Flushing output within /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common won't undo that error. Debconf has already gotten the bad command before /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common is started.
Patching /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms to redirect stdout DOES FIX the problem. Adding "1>&2" to the invocation of /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller keeps stdout clean. -- dkms - error when installing custom kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292606 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
