Marking this bug invalid is to treat the symptom while disregarding the
cause. That solves nothing. There is a problem here; I have no idea how
many users are affected, but if it strikes a reviewer after Lucid is
released, there is certain to be negative comment on Lucid. It is that
risk which I am eager to avoid.
It is roughly three weeks ago that I did a first install of Lucid on
this particular machine. Because the hard disc with the /home partition
had had to be replaced (and the data later restored from backups), this
was, in effect, a "first-time" install of Kubuntu.
Because of the length of time, I no longer recall how or when I manually
installed linux-headers-2.6.32-nn-generic the first time. But I recall
that jockey failed to install necessary packages and therefore failed to
activate the proprietary video driver. To the best of my memory, this
was at the time of initial install. However, it is unimportant whether
it was at the time of initial install or after a minor kernel version
upgrade.
At the time, I was also hit by a jockey-kde failure, which I reported
and which was marked as a duplicate of Bug 451105 (on which you have
also commented).
After running jockey, a user should not have to install manually neither
linux-headers-generic nor linux-headers-2.6.nn-nn-generic. It is a bug
that I had to do so. The bug needs to be fixed.
Perhaps this bug needs to be redirected to another package or perhaps
another, rephrased, bug should be submitted. Please advise.
