"To be fair it is an annoying issue but not one that is so fatal one would not be able to recover a system."
It leaves the system not working. That's is more than just annoying. Also, I actually did re-install the operating system at least once because of this bug to try to get this PC working again. I actually spent about three days struggling with driver versions and trying to work out what the real problem was. I was also swopping out video cards to see if that helped. Any sane person would have gone out and bought a Windows licence and installed that instead. "By now I just made it a habit of doing the following…" Sadly, those instructions are the sort of reason people say Linux is not ready for the mainstream. How do I tell Auntie Margaret over the phone she just needs to "sudo dkms install -m <module> -v <module version> -k <kernel version>" ? It might be trivial to an operating systems programmer with a computer science degree. But some of us want to USE Ubuntu-based operating systems for work purposes, not for working on. I am sorry to add a whinge to this saga, but to imply it's just a nuisance and there's an easy workaround is not how it feels to some of the user community. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1431753 Title: Nvidia binary driver FTBS due to DKMS layer violation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1431753/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
