Alright, I've sufficiently reproduced the issue and its workarounds now that I'm comfortable closing the -nvidia part of this bug. I'll update the description with steps I used to work around it.
I reckon there's 3 separate bugs at play here: 1. usb-creator allows people to specify too large a proportion of usb drive space to the persistent file, leaving an insufficient amount to do initrd updates (bug #562312). 2. jockey does not detect the limited system space issue (this bug) 3. casper is not creating the /vmlinuz symlink correctly, which leads to kernel updates failing (bug #557023) These all need fixed, but none are -nvidia or -fglrx issues specifically, so I'm closing out the -nvidia task for this bug. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu Natty) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685017 Title: Jockey should warn on insufficient disk space in LiveCD environment, else get error "package nvidia-current 260.19.21-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
