[Bug 454220] Re: Nvidia fail with DKMS on linux-generic-pae - needs depends on -pae kernel header file package
This is still an issue. Since the default kernel was automatically changed to a -pae variant some time this year, every time the kernel is updated the matching -pae header is not updated along with it even though the installed proprietary nvidia driver's kernel module depends on it. After the next reboot the X server fails to start (which was a major nuisance for me at the beginning since the text mode couldn't be displayed on the attached TV and I had to attach a monitor for debugging) failing to load nvidia.ko. So now I have to check after every update whether the kernel image was updated and in this case to manually install the matching -pae header package, otherwise I would get a black screen after reboot again (at least now I have a textmode my TV can handle...). Today the kernel image was updated from 3.0.0-12-generic-pae to 3.0.0-13-generic-pae, linux-headers-3.0.0-13-generic-pae was again not installed automatically. After installing it manually run-parts automatically created /lib/modules/3.0.0-13-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia /lib/modules/3.0.0-13-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-13-generic-pae/updates/dkms/nvidia_current_updates.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-13-generic-pae/updates/dkms/nvidia_current.ko /lib/modules/3.0.0-13-generic-pae/updates/dkms/nvidia_173.ko So yes, this is still a VERY annoying issue until today in Oneiric. There should be a dependency making sure that the matching kernel header is installed after an update of the kernel image if the nvidia X-server is installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454220 Title: Nvidia fail with DKMS on linux-generic-pae - needs depends on -pae kernel header file package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/454220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu. Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty? If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty' so it's easier for us to track. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454220 Title: Nvidia fail with DKMS on linux-generic-pae - needs depends on -pae kernel header file package -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I, too, had a similar problem (with nvidia-glx-195 on a Karmic box), and the problem cleared up after I installed linux-headers-generic-pae. I'm now successfully running 2.6.31-16-generic-pae and nvidia-glx-195 and seeing all 4 GB of RAM in my system. -- Nvidia fail with DKMS on linux-generic-pae - needs depends on -pae kernel header file package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454220 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

Note related bug in jockey: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/jockey/+bug/451305 I installed linux-headers-generic-pae and did a dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-185-kernel-source But I got the Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed error (even though the headers were there). I had to apt-get remove --purge linux-headers-2.6.31-15 And then, when I did an apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.31-15-pae it automatically rebuilt (successfully) the nvidia.ko. (Also, I note that when xorg fails, it restarts very very quickly and doesn't ever seem to give up, making it impossible to login to a VT, as was possible with the earlier init scheme. This should probably also be considered a significant bug.) -- Nvidia fail with DKMS on linux-generic-pae - needs depends on -pae kernel header file package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454220 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

Update: I think that's a false alarm.

I had the same issue. Installing the PAE kernel image with the according header files will fix this issue.

Obviously in karmic 9.10 64bit version, wich doesn't need pae extension, all work right. In a new recent installation, all ram memory was recognized (3x2Gb ram) and when I've installed also the nvidia driver (185) no problems occur. -- Nvidia fail with DKMS on linux-generic-pae - needs depends on -pae kernel header file package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454220 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
[Bug 454220] Re: Nvidia fail with DKMS on linux-generic-pae - needs depends on -pae kernel header file package
Okay, thanks... guess we can close this bug then? I think ultimately the issue is that specialty kernels like -pae do not get as heavily tested as the standard Ubuntu kernel, so plain old build issues on -nvidia don't always get noticed quickly. So the long term solution really is that we need to encourage -pae users to test early and often during the development cycle. I'm going to try to work out how to get the make.log included in our xorg apport script to at least simplify the reporting of these issues. -- Nvidia fail with DKMS on linux-generic-pae - needs depends on -pae kernel header file package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454220 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
