Title:
fails to build due to missing kernel headers
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
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:

Note that if I manually install linux-headers-generic and then reinstall the
nvidia driver package (much easier to do via the terminal, btw) then the driver
correctly builds and it works.
