- initiated anything related so I don't know what prompted it.
+ Shortly after bootup I was browsing in swiftfox and this crash
+ notification message popped up saying this package had failed to
+ install. I don't remember requesting this package. I have my upgrade
+ manager set on manual only and I don't think I did anything to start
+ one, and I don't think I had Synaptic running so I don't know what
+ prompted this installation attempt or the subsequent crash.
+
+ To try to learn more about the bug I ran these follow up tests. It
+ demonstrated that that package came from the installation disk. i had
+ previously checked the repository option that includes the install
+ CDROM. However I was unable to repeat a crash or same error.
+
+ 1) I ran Synaptic and saw that it said dkms _IS_ installed after all,
+ but I went ahead and did a reinstall with the CDROM in the drive and it
+ succeeded.
+
+ 2) continuting in Synaptic without restarting I did a reinstall of dkms
without the CDROM in the drive (but connected to the internet). After a minute
or so it asked
+ [code]
+ Please insert the disk labeled:
+ Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429)
+ in drive /cdrom/
+ [/code]
+
+ I inserted it and closed the disk drive and then hit the okay button.
+ It succeeded.
+
+ 3) I did the same as #3 except this time I did not close the drive until
after i hit the okay button.
+ This time it reported:
+ [code]
+ {first line is aproximation, the rest is a quote} Could not mount Lucid Lynx
10.04
+ Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
+ mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
+ mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /media/cdrom0 busy
+ I clicked okay, then it immediately downloaded the file succeeded in
reinstalling the dkms package.
