SRU request: please accept the following packages so that 1) Jockey doesn't allow incompatible drivers to be installed with the new X stack 2) some drivers can have support for the new X stack:
jockey (0.9.7-0ubuntu7.6) fglrx-installer-experimental-9 (2:9.010-0ubuntu0.2) fglrx-installer-updates (2:9.000-0ubuntu0.3) nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-310 (310.14-0ubuntu0.3) nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates (304.64-0ubuntu0.2) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080588 Title: jockey suggests not installable packages on renamed stack Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-310” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: None of the nvidia and fglrx drivers can be installed through the gui, because they have a versioned depends on xserver-xorg-core. For example: # LANG=C apt-get install nvidia-experimental-304 The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-experimental-304 : Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Furthermore even some packages are shown that cannot be installed on the renamed x server, because the drivers haven't been updated to work on them. For example nvidia-current: nvidia-current : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. nvidia-common needs to be updated to hide versions of nvidia drivers that won't work on x 1.13 or later, and make them installable. I think the xserver-xorg-core version check can be removed, in favor of checking the video abi version. Furthermore drivers should have an alternative dependency on the new xserver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1080588/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
