[Regression Potential] Low. The backports stack is new functionality that is coming in 12.04.2, so changes that affect this will have no impact on earlier versions of 12.04 [Original Text] None of the nvidia and fglrx drivers can be installed through the gui, because they have a versioned depends on xserver-xorg-core. For example: # LANG=C apt-get install nvidia-experimental-304 The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-experimental-304 : Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Furthermore even some packages are shown that cannot be installed on the renamed x server, because the drivers haven't been updated to work on them. For example nvidia-current: nvidia-current : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. nvidia-common needs to be updated to hide versions of nvidia drivers that won't work on x 1.13 or later, and make them installable. I think the xserver-xorg-core version check can be removed, in favor of checking the video abi version. Furthermore drivers should have an alternative dependency on the new xserver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1080588/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
