The root cause of this bug is the final removal of BKL from the Linux kernel: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.36.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=b19dd42faf413b4705d4adb38521e82d73fa4249
The change first appeared in kernel 2.6.36 and possibly later versions of ubuntu kernel 2.6.35. NVIDIA have implemented a fix in their later driver versions: Users of nvidia-96 need version 96.43.19 or later. Users of nvidia-current need version 260.19.06 or later. 260.19.06 really does seem to be the earliest instance of the fix I can find for nvidia-current. It seems the fix was never implemented in 195.* Users of Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) might find success if they can install the maverick version 260.19.06: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/nvidia-current ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627022 Title: package nvidia-current 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04 failed to install/upgrade: nvidia-current kernel module failed to build (nv.c:417: error: unknown field ‘ioctl’ specified in initializer) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/627022/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
