Fix released for Lucid... What about Karmic?
Shall I recompile/patch the package?
I see that the version of dkms for Karmik is 2.1.0.1... Will be released a
2.1.1.2 for Karmic too?

Hi
So I have this problem now. As a result of an upgrade I had serious boot
issues, I almost considered reinstalling an os. Anyways I installed a
custom kernel and the latest Nvidia drivers. Apparently this is bad
form? It's linux is it not so I can use kernel.org kernels can I not?
So I have
Hi,
So I can change the status of the package in the file /var/lib/dpkg/status
I changed the status from ``install ok half-configured''
to ``install ok installed''.
That at least prevents aptitude and apt-get from breaking my nvidia
driver.

Mike Stroyan's analysis is correct. This is not a bug in nvidia-common,
it's a bug in dkms for outputting to stdout.
Standard Ubuntu kernel packages don't load the debconf confmodule, but
custom packages built with make-kpkg do, and this is perfectly
legitimate. Anything called from a

Adding the debconf trigger in every modalias package would imply calling the

the kernel postinst exists because it can happen that the nvidia-common

Why does the nvidia-common kernel postinst even exist? It looks like
it's only purpose is to replicate the functionality that was there from
the nvidia-common postinst. Obsoleted drivers won't be introduced by
new kernel images, but instead by newer modaliases as detected by
nvidia-common.
I'm a bit confused here. The last patch in comment 29 looks weird and
does not incorporate Alberto's latest proposed change.
Alberto, can you please attach a complete and tested patch, and re-
subscribe the sponsoring team once its ready? Thanks!

As discussed in this bug report, the problem should be fixed in DKMS (by
flushing stdout after printing).
I have marked the report as invalid for nvidia-common and assigned the
bug to dkms instead.
** Also affects: dkms (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

The actual fix to dkms is not adding flushing of stdout.
The fix is redirecting /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller output to stderr so that
it doesn't send confusing output to debconf via stdout.

I don't know that I agree that's logically correct. the output from the
init script should be going to to stdout. It is *not* error output from
DKMS's kernel postinstall script, so it shouldn't be on stderr.
If it's not happening while DKMS is running, then before loading debconf
in
man 7 debconf states-
* Avoid outputting anything to stdout in your postinst, since that
can confuse debconf, and postinst should not be verbose anyway.
Output to stderr is ok, if you must.
It might be better to redirect stdout to file descriptor 3.
I see
This is not actually a defect in nvidia-common. It is a defect in dkms.
The /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms script is sending messages to stdout.
That script is run under /usr/share/debconf/frontend, which expects that stdout
will only be used for messages to it.

Go to root Console
do apt-get purge nvidia-common
install your Kernel. dpkk -i KERNEL.deb
when done reinstall the nvidia-common Package apt-get install nvidia-common
It worked for me. Everything fine. Nvidia
