Public bug reported:
Sorry this didn't make it into 180.22, Alberto. I finally got around to
implementing the hook script code we talked about, and the next round of
releases will include it. Here's the relevant new section in the
manpage:
DISTRIBUTION HOOK SCRIPTS
Because the NVIDIA installer may interact badly with distribution
packages that contain the NVIDIA driver,
nvidia-installer provides a mechanism for the distribution to handle
manual installation of the driver. If they
exist, nvidia-installer will run the following scripts:
· /usr/lib/nvidia/pre-install
· /usr/lib/nvidia/pre-uninstall
· /usr/lib/nvidia/post-uninstall
· /usr/lib/nvidia/post-install
· /usr/lib/nvidia/failed-install
Note that if installation of a new driver requires uninstallation of a
previously installed driver, the pre- and
post-uninstall scripts will be called after the pre-install script.
If the install fails, the installer will exe‐
cute /usr/lib/nvidia/failed-install instead of
/usr/lib/nvidia/post-install. These scripts should not require user
interaction.
Use the --no-distro-scripts option to disable execution of these
scripts.
I don't know if nvidia-graphics-drivers-* is really the right place for
these scripts. It might be necessary to add a new package, depending on
what you want them to do.
