Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dkms
At least in the case of linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic and nvidia-185
-kernel-source module compilation ends with error "Unable to determine
the target kernel version". This seems to happen because files under
/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/build/include/linux/ (which are actually
under /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic/include/linux) are only
readable by root, and dkms is running the make as nobody.
Running chmod -R a+rX on the headers folder is an easy workaround, but
finding what's happening based on the original error message is somewhat
tedious.
** Affects: dkms (Ubuntu)
