Bug Description

Appeared during today's upgrades in Karmic. Looks like nvidia-common is the culprit. Quite similar to bug 273681, which was reported in Intrepid.

Change this bug to package nvidia-common, it should not be a problem of kernel.

And after going through the bug 273681, I suggest you try following steps,

"I finally managed to get the problem to go away. I did an 'apt-get purge nvidia-common', then I installed the latest kernel update, and then reinstalled nvidia-common, and everything seems to be fine now."

Thanks

affects:

linux (Ubuntu) → nvidia-common (Ubuntu)

Yeah, I've already removed nvidia-common to get my kernel installed correctly. But I'm not sure that provides a good hint to developers, other than that it's nvidia-common's fault... Anyway, this report is a duplicate of bug 273681, I'll update it accordingly.
