Same bug here, can verify that it only occurs on a machine with the nvidia drivers installed. I might subscribe Alberto to this bug since he deals with the NVIDIA drivers. Alberto, mind chasing this one up?

Despite uninstall the Nvidia drivers update stops at the kernel configuration and nothing is happening, a similar situation occurs with Nvidia drivers installed .. The system has successfully updated to version 12.10, the system does not want to install from flash drive using UNetbootin captured .. Installation stops on the detection of a partition, as was the case with Ubuntu 12.10, since as the first partition is Windows 8, Ubuntu 12.04 installed normally ..

$ ./tools/modprobe --set-version=3.8.0-5-generic --ignore-install --quiet --show-depends nvidia

I expected at least an "insmod /lib/modules/3.8.0-5-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_304_updates.ko" from probing nvidia with my local build so something else seems broken in this case.

The local build is linked to kmod-nolib.

A few minutes ago I reported bug 1132258, which has been marked as a duplicate of this one.

The ProcEnviron.txt attachment of bug 1132258 is not correct. It matches neither /etc/default/locale nor the session environment. Instead the info in ProcEnviron.txt seems to match my /etc/default/locale as it looked like a few days/weeks ago, with several reboots in between.

Possibly that info is useful for tracking down this bug.

I did workaround from:

echo "module-init-tools install"|dpkg --set-selections

It does not help.

Do you require any further data to debug it?
