Public bug reported:
ANAMNESIS
I upgraded the box from a running 10.10 today. Installation went through
smoothly. After reboot I didn't have any X.
Via console and the help of some internet forums I reinstalled kernel
headers and sources (packages: linux-source, linux-generic, linux-
headers-generic). While linux-sources (2.6.38.8.22) was not installed
automatically both of the other packages existed.
The logs said, that module 'nvidia' could not be loaded - trying to reinstall
(apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current - 270.41.06-0ubuntu1) or
reconfigure (dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current) package nvidia-current yields the
following error message:
Loading new nvidia-current-270.41.06 DKMS files....
Building only for 2.6.38-8-generic-pae
Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel
source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
EXPECTED
a) Package kernel-sources should be installed during system upgrade/update if
necessary for proprietary UI-drivers. Update-manager did not warn about the
possibility of 'loss of UI due to nvidia-packages' or something similar.
b) Cannot reconfigure or reinstall nvidia-software to get X up'n'running.
Service restart gdm/x11-common does not change anything.
