You need linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic and linux-headers-generic as well, and they are indeed on the default image: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.manifest So this looks like a bug during installation. Perhaps ubiquity removes the kernel headers for some reason? Can you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog? > 3- I configured the proxy for apt-get by adding this under > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80proxy: The proxy can certainly play a role in here, but as the kernel headers are already in the live system and thus should be copied to the installation, it does not need network access to get them. > 5- sudo apt-get install nvidia-current.

Ah, I see the problem: nvidia-current depends on "linux-headers-generic | linux-headers", the intention is that you can also run e. g. the -lowlatency flavour and build against linux-headers-lowlatency instead. However, linux-headers-3.5.0-17 provides "linux-headers, linux-headers-3", which is a bad thing to do as they are incomplete! Only linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic should provide linux-headers (and does). Andy, what do you think about this?
