Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, the package installation log attached to this bug report does not contain any useful information this is likely because your root filesystem is full. This is probably why the package failed to install. However, could you check your system for a non-empty /var/log/apt/term.log and attach it to the report? Please set the status back to New if you do. Thanks in advance.

Hey Utz,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

I did a test today with natty. It uses nouveau driver right away, so
there is no additional driver to install any more. As such it works
great, for me the problem is solved.
