Hi Alhneiti,

Examining your DpkgTerminalLog I notice the following errors. It seems this is is really an issue with nvidia-common. I'll reassign accordingly.

run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/nvidia-detector", line 2, in <module>
    import NvidiaDetector
ImportError: No module named NvidiaDetector

I'm having the same error on Karmic, while trying to activate the b43 module. I attach the /var/log/jockey.log .

BTW: is this bug a duplicate of #430157?
