Public bug reported: I am unable to install the NVIDIA .run driver in the Lucid alpha because it reports that /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h is missing. I have tried the following methods towards installing the NVIDIA driver to no avail:
1. installing the nvidia-* packages after installing these packages, the driver doesn't appear in jockey- gtk. 2. installing the .run package the installer throws an error about the missing version.h. I have installed the following packages: linux-source - Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches linux-source-2.6.32 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.32 with Ubuntu patches linux-headers-2.6.32-11 - Header files related to Linux kernel version 2.6.32 linux-headers-generic - Generic Linux kernel headers linux-headers-2.6.32-11-generic - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.32 on x86/x86_64 After this, there is a new file in /usr/src/ called linux- source-2.6.32.tar.bz2. I extract it, which creates a directory called linux-source-2.6.32. The driver installer needs it in a location /usr/src/linux/, so I rename the directory /usr/src/linux/. However, though there is a folder /usr/src/linux/include/linux/, which is meant to contain the version.h, there is no version.h to be seen. It was possible to install the .run package in Karmic; however it isn't possible anymore in Lucid. At the moment I'm running some sort of 'safe' driver (may be nv, AFAIK). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Lucid alpha: can't install NVIDIA .run driver because /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h is missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511833 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
