[Bug 271655] Re: [SRU req.] nvidia driver detection broken

[Andreas Wenning]

** Summary changed:

- nvidia driver detection broken
+ [SRU req.] nvidia driver detection broken

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: kde-guidance
  
- kde-guidance uses the existence of certain driver files to detect if the
- proprietary driver files are installed. One of the files used for
- detection of the nvidia driver is moved in all recent packages, leading
- to failed detection.
+ This is a minimal impact SRU, having no impact to any users not using /
+ wishing to use proprietary nvidia drivers. In total the patch changes 1
+ line of code.
+ 
+ kde-guidance (displayconfig) uses the existence of certain driver files
+ to detect if the proprietary driver files are installed. One of the
+ files used for detection of the nvidia driver is moved in all recent
+ packages, leading to failed detection.
  
  The libglx.so has been moved from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/ to
  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/
  
  All the nvidia packages has this file in it's new location:
  nvidia-glx
  nvidia-glx-envy
  nvidia-glx-legacy
  nvidia-glx-legacy-envy
  nvidia-glx-new
  nvidia-glx-new-envy
  
- No packages in hardy has the file in it's old collection.
+ Regression potential: None, as no packages in hardy has the file in it's
+ old collection.
  
- Attached debdiff fixes this.
+ kde-guidance has been removed from intrepid, so not applicaple to be
+ fixed there.
+ 
+ Attached debdiff for the version currently in hardy-updates fixes this.
+ 
+ Test case: If you have proprietary nvidia drivers installed, and a
+ nvidia card listed as working with proprietary drivers it should be
+ possible to choose them in displayconfig.

** Changed in: kde-guidance (Ubuntu)
