Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dkms
When upgrading fglrx-drivers the old dkms-entries in /var/lib/dkms/fglrx
are not removed. This leads to the following error message(s) on
startup:
/etc/rc2.d/S20dkms_autoinstaller: line 82:
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.471/source/dkms.conf: No such file or directory
/etc/rc2.d/S20dkms_autoinstaller: line 82:
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.476/source/dkms.conf: No such file or directory
because the folders under /usr/src were removed during the upgrade
process (/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.476/source/ links to /usr/src/fglrx-8.476
for example), so the dkms.conf files can't be found.
With the command 'dkms status' you'll get something like the following:
dkms.conf: Error! No 'DEST_MODULE_LOCATION' directive specified.
dkms.conf: Error! No 'PACKAGE_NAME' directive specified.
dkms.conf: Error! No 'PACKAGE_VERSION' directive specified.
fglrx, 8.476, 2.6.24-16-generic, i686: installed
dkms.conf: Error! No 'DEST_MODULE_LOCATION' directive specified.
dkms.conf: Error! No 'PACKAGE_NAME' directive specified.
dkms.conf: Error! No 'PACKAGE_VERSION' directive specified.
fglrx, 8.471, 2.6.22-14-generic, i686: installed (original_module exists)
fglrx, 8.493.1, 2.6.24-17-generic, i686: installed
If i remove the old entries by hand, the error is gone, without any
markable disadvantages.
This happens on the following system:
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
with
dkms:
Installiert:2.0.19-0ubuntu2
Mögliche Pakete:2.0.19-0ubuntu2
Versions-Tabelle:
*** 2.0.19-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
By now I am installing fglrx by hand with the installer from the ati-Website
following this instructions:
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide,
but i read that it also happened with the fglrx-package from the repos when you
upgrade from gutsy to hardy for example...
I hope i did not forget anything important, for this is my first bug-
report, if so, let me know and i'll try to provide additional
information!
