I think I may have the same thing, but not on initial install of the system. My system worked, and then the unity GUI update installer decided I needed a new kernel. (apt-get upgrade appeared to think the kernel was pinned.) Now I have a system I don't know how to fix, presently booted from a DVD, and a request on ubuntu-forums for help recovering.
Also 12.10. It would be nice if that graphical installer SHOWED ITS OUTPUT to users. Laterly I haven't even been able to get it to open into a window; it just wants to do the installation with a tiny progress bar in the icon on the tool bar. And when I use "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" I don't get the same results as with the tool. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070427 Title: Ubiquity removes kernel headers, fails to build nonfree drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-test-cases/+bug/1070427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
