Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new
I use Ubuntu Feisty for AMD64 with all current updates.
Steps to reproduce:
Install nvidia-glx-new. Then uninstall nvidia-glx-new and install another nvidia-glx version (e.g. nvidia-glx).
Whenever the nvidia kernel module needs to be loaded the wrong version is loaded, causing x to not start.
What goes wrong:
lrm-video loads the wrong kernel module, because after removing nvidia-glx-new there is still a .nvidia_
What needs to be changed:
The following line is in the postinst of nvidia-glx-new:
echo "# do not remove this file, it's needed by /sbin/lrm-video" \
> /lib/linux-
The following line is in the prerm of nvidia-glx-new:
rm -f /lib/linux-
Obviously this line should be:
rm -f /lib/linux-
