You need linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic and linux-headers-generic as well, and they are indeed on the default image: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.manifest So this looks like a bug during installation. Perhaps ubiquity removes the kernel headers for some reason? Can you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog? > 3- I configured the proxy for apt-get by adding this under > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80proxy: The proxy can certainly play a role in here, but as the kernel headers are already in the live system and thus should be copied to the installation, it does not need network access to get them. > 5- sudo apt-get install nvidia-current.

Ah, I see the problem: nvidia-current depends on "linux-headers-generic | linux-headers", the intention is that you can also run e. g. the -lowlatency flavour and build against linux-headers-lowlatency instead. However, linux-headers-3.5.0-17 provides "linux-headers, linux-headers-3", which is a bad thing to do as they are incomplete! Only linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic should provide linux-headers (and does). Andy, what do you think about this? Thanks, Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070427 Title: fails to build due to missing kernel headers Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The system in question is a Dell XPS 1340. It needs proprietary drivers because it's unable to suspend with the Nouveau drivers. Steps to reproduce: - Install Ubuntu 12.10 from USB stick - Open software-center - Go to Edit -> Software Sources - Go to the Additional Drivers tab - Select the first offered NVidia driver (nvidia-current) - Click on "apply changes" Expected result: - Nvidia module built and installed. - Nice build log in /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/304.43/build. Actual result: - Since linux-headers-generic is not installed, the module fails to build and upon rebooting most desktop elements will be absent. - /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/304.43/build is empty. - Here's the apt terminal log: Log started: 2012-10-23 11:45:29 Selecting previously unselected package dkms.
