Hi Martin,
you must be the bearer of knowledge, so why does this not get shared
with less experienced but interessted users?
bug 948053 Comment #42, 5.5.2012 : Have asked to publish this issue at
least in the release-notes.
If I don't find a hint there I've got to think everything will be going
The logs still say that /usr/lib/nvidia-173/ld.so.conf is the current
alternative (from NvidiaDetector.alternatives.MultiArchUtils), this
seems to be the root cause of it. I'm afraid this requires an actual
nvidia system to reproduce and debug. Alberto, can you see what's wrong
here?
** Changed
Dropping rls-p-tracking. We currently only have one working driver
anyway (-current), so this should not be a dealbreaker and can also be
fixed in an SRU.

There seem to be two different issues here:
The -173 version does not build:

As for the wrongly detected driver version, can someone with an affected
NVidia system please attach /var/log/jockey.log after the failed
install? It should be in the target system, i. e. after reboot, not in
the live environment. It would also be helpful if you could give me the

My oneiric install has now been upgraded to precise so presumably my logs won't
help. In fact /var/log/jockey.log is empty.
I could install oneiric again and then post the outputs you request if you
think that might help.

Either from oneiric or a precise install would be fine. It should tell
me more about why it selects the 173 driver. Thanks!

I've unduped bug #893760 to focus on the -173 build issue, which
appears to be specific to precise. This bug report can focus on the
issue with jockey picking -173 instead of -current, which appears to
affect oneiric and precise.

Thanks for all the info Bryce, and the extra bugs. The problem seems to
have gone largely un-noticed previously, possibly because most people
don't check that box during installation? I know I don't usually.

I'm setting the priority of the -nvidia bug task to High, although I
think this isn't a fault in the driver itself, but rather an error in
the algorithm selecting the binary package to be installed. (Ubiquity

Quackers, can you explain what you mean by This is not a 12-04 bug,
it's a 11-10 installer bug? Are you reproducing this fresh installing
Oneiric onto a system? I'm definitely seeing this on Precise but don't
recall running into it for Oneiric install testing.

Yes, at the time I was doing a fresh install of 11-10 which was to be upgraded
to 12-04 for testing.
I checked the box for the 3rd party drivers and after installation and
rebooting I found that the 173 driver had been installed rather than the
nvidia-current driver, which is the correct driver
Alright, well it definitely affects precise. I'll add an oneiric tag so
once the issue is discovered it can be evaluated for possible SRU.

I have a sense that it is selecting -173 because it's the last thing in
the list. However I'm not spotting in the code where exactly that list
might be.
The error message is from get_modinfo() in detection.py.

In digging through ubiquity, it looks like ubiquity hands off control to
jockey via dbus, and it seems jockey runs into trouble. In the log it
seems jockey is unable to find (or create?) it's cache, and so I wonder
if that may be what's steering it off the cliff.

Is this left over from alpha or beta as it seemed then the only driver
