On ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, if I click
System -- Administration -- Restricted Drivers Manager
I get an error box that says:
[CODE]You need to install the package
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22.14-generic
for this program to work[/CODE]
I can't find anything like this in add/remove software, and a search for this turns up very 2 discussions that haven't helped.
A search for the more general:
linux-restricted-modules
does turn up more, but it seems from a little delving, that sometimes some of the packages trail the main kernel -- sometimes by a few days.
It's been over ten days now. If these situations usually resolved themselves in a few days at worst, and this is going on ten days, then why isn't there at least mention of the ERROR by name? Is there a problem with the distribution, or is my setup broken somehow?
I guess for launchpad I'm at most base complaining that the lack of documentation in this case is the bug.
Hi there
The "Add/Remove software" application is just to search common user applications, not core components AFAIK, for this kind of job you could use synaptic, which is available at "System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager", or install it via command line with ej.
apt-get install linux-restricte
this should work if you have the restricted repository in your /etc/apt/
I'm not really sure if this is a bug or a support request, i don't have a clean install machine to test this, but i think all the required applications are already there in a clean install, but if in doubt let's just leave this open until can be properly tested.
Please tell me if do you already have all the required applications installed, so the issue can properly identified.
Thanks in advance.
