When using “Additional Drivers” to install any of the proprietary drivers only these packages are installed Ex. nvidia-current dkms_2.2.0.3-1.1ubuntu1_all.deb fakeroot_1.18.4-2_amd64.deb nvidia-current_304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb nvidia-settings_304.51-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb python-xkit_0.5.0_all.deb screen-resolution-extra_0.15_all.deb linux-headers-generic/linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic is not installed, the module is not built & ect. ect. (actually worse for users from “Additional Drivers” because they're given no info From my perspective maybe the issue is linux-headers-generic/linux-headers-3.5.0-XX-generic should be installed during the orig. install instead of just linux-headers-3.5.0-17 ??
