Hi Martin,

I dived into it deeper and my first bug report could have been made more accurate. The problem is that on my computer the linux-restricted-modules-common were installed, but not the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-11-generic, which correspond to "uname -r". Is this normal? The only other manipulation of my system was that I removed compiz, but that should not remove the generic modules. I never removed "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-11-generic" consciously myself.

If you want to reproduce this for yourself, it is very easy: just remove the package "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-11-generic" without removing "linux-restricted-modules-common".

I attach "dpkg -l 'linux*'" in a file.

I think that restricted-manager should check if "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-11-generic" (or corresponding) is really installed. There can always be a reason it is not installed or removed.

Thanks for your help,

Stani
