Bug Description
Kubuntu Lucid, clean install from release CD image.
I received an update notification that a new linux-image was available, so I installed it with apt-get dist-upgrade
linux-image-
Installed: 2.6.32.22.23
Candidate: 2.6.32.22.23
Version table:
*** 2.6.32.22.23 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
2.6.32.21.22 0
500 http://
However, the update did not pull in the required linux-headers-
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-
Only after that did dkms install my nividia driver. Looks like a broken dependency somewhere, or perhaps a meta package did not get installed somewhere. I havent removed any packages myself.
to start the X-server again, login to the text-console and
$ sudo aptitude install linux-headers- generic
$ sudo modprobe nvidia-current
$ sudo service kdm restart
