What "fix:" has been released? As the upsteam maintainer I am not aware of any released support for 3.0 or later kernels in blcr. I am actively working on exactly such support and expect a Beta release of blcr-0.8.5 for testing sometime this week.
The only "fix" detailed in this bug report is to REMOVE the blcr-dkms package, which is NOT a "fix" for the reported problem "blcr kernel module failed to build...". Installing Windows 8 "fixes" the problem in the same manner, but I don't see that as a recommended course of action. Alan Woodland's release of blcr-0.8.4-3 in Debian is also not a "fix" as it just drops the blcr-dkms package build from the source package. The remaining packages built from the blcr source package now do NOTHING useful except to satisfy a link dependency from some other packages - but cannot provide the intended FUNCTIONALITY without the kernel module. -Paul -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804943 Title: blcr kernel module failed to build with kernel 3.0 : configure: error: --with-linux argument '3.0-x' is neither a kernel version string nor a full path To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blcr/+bug/804943/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
