Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dkms
I installed nvidia-glx-173 to test out the new setup in Intrepid, but
found that after booting into the new kernel, no nvidia module was
available. I tried:
mizar:[~] sudo /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller start
* Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.26-3-generic
* nvidia (173.14.09)... [ OK ]
[ OK ]
which looked approximately successful (though the logging functions seem
to be called out of order), though suspiciously fast. I had to run it
wish bash -x to see that it failed because the necessary kernel headers
were not installed. I think that having a dkms package like nvidia-
glx-173 installed, but not having the necessary kernel headers
installed, should trigger a fatal error. The user has made a clear
request to make the module avaliable, and the request is not
satisfiable.
** Affects: dkms (Ubuntu)
