Public bug reported:
I am unable to install the NVIDIA .run driver in the Lucid alpha because
it reports that /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h is missing. I
have tried the following methods towards installing the NVIDIA driver to
no avail:
1. installing the nvidia-* packages
after installing these packages, the driver doesn't appear in jockey-
gtk.
2. installing the .run package
the installer throws an error about the missing version.h. I have
installed the following packages:
linux-source - Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches
linux-source-2.6.32 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.32 with Ubuntu patches
linux-headers-2.6.32-11 - Header files related to Linux kernel version 2.6.32
linux-headers-generic - Generic Linux kernel headers
linux-headers-2.6.32-11-generic - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.32 on
x86/x86_64
After this, there is a new file in /usr/src/ called linux-
source-2.6.32.tar.bz2. I extract it, which creates a directory called
linux-source-2.6.32. The driver installer needs it in a location
/usr/src/linux/, so I rename the directory /usr/src/linux/. However,
though there is a folder /usr/src/linux/include/linux/, which is meant
to contain the version.h, there is no version.h to be seen.
It was possible to install the .run package in Karmic; however it isn't
possible anymore in Lucid. At the moment I'm running some sort of 'safe'
driver (may be nv, AFAIK).
