The bug:
When attempting to open the Restricted Drivers Manager, a dialogue box returns this message:
[quote]
You need to install the package
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server
for this program to work.[/quote]
No such package exists to what I could find. Confirmation of a forum user confirmed that he could not find the package in either fiesty, or gutsy. Furthermore, a search on google returns a single sight written in chinese. He has no response yet.
This bug is also tied to the "Screens and Graphics" utility, and the "nvidia-settings" program as well.
My original goal that led to this problem:
Setup dual monitors in gutsy, having fusion on both, but generating a seperate cube for both.
My setup:
Amd64 version of gutsy, thus amd64 repositories
2 * Nividia geforce 7600gs's, one crt monitor plugged into each.
My drivers were originally working nicely with proprietary version, however setting up dual monitors originally through "Screens and Graphics" was a heartfelt pain, as it led to many a crash, and many a altered/botched xorg.conf. A suspicion I have leading to some of the errors I was getting is the fact that my crt drivers arent found in the default repo, and I had to download them. Because of this, everytime I run the util, I have to re-add them again. It would be nice if the program could let me know where to save my drivers, and furthermore, if it would add mine automatically.
I was trying everything to get this to work, and eventually decided to try swapping the glx drivers with the glx-new drivers. Once I did this, is when I gander that my programs started returning these wierd errors.
nvidia-settings returned this error
