I added a task for nvidia-glx because I would prefer a more generic way to handle this upgrade scenario than update-manager (something that works for people how use apt-get). Given the nature of the nvidia package that may well be impossible but at least I tried :)
I talked to Martin about it and the way to handle it in update-manager is to use restricted-manager in some way. Either by importing it at the end of the upgrade into u-m or by adding a commandline switch to it to deal with the situation. -- u-m should automatically install nvidia-glx-legacy if hardware requires it https://launchpad.net/bugs/96486 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
