Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-173-kernel-source
On a karmic version of Kubuntu , upgrading to the very last version of
nvidia-173-kernel-source (173.14.20-0ubuntu3) through nvidia-glx-173
fails because the patch command is missing (that makes the nvidia kernel
driver "partially" installed and unusable by Xorg):
Setting up nvidia-173-kernel-source (173.14.20-0ubuntu3) ...
Removing all DKMS Modules
Done.
Adding Module to DKMS build system
driver version= 173.14.20
Doing initial module build
/usr/sbin/dkms: line 35: patch: command not found
Error! Application of patch fall_back_on_mtrr_if_no_pat.patch failed.
Check /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/173.14.20/build/ for more information.
Installing initial module
Error! Could not locate nvidia.ko for module nvidia in the DKMS tree.
You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.31-14-generic (i686) first.
Done.
