Wouldn't a fix be as easy as enforcing linux-headers-generic on the ISO image and/or at the initial OS installation? <div class="gmail_quote">On 22 Feb 2013 13:25, "Scott Ritchie" <<a href="mailto:scottritchie@ubuntu.com">scottritchie@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> I've been absolutely flooded with informal reports over a period of several months now of 12.10 being still broken with regards to proprietary drivers. Reports like this are typical, especially after the influx of steam users: "Installed ubuntu + proprietary amd drivers, got no unity at 800x600 on next reboot and uninstalled." The proximate cause is a combination of <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates/+bug/1068341" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates/+bug/1068341</a> and <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1070427" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1070427</a> But more worrisome is that this appears to be something we still haven't fixed for 12.10, even if the fix is a hackish ugly workaround such as forcing the install of the headers-generic pacakge in the additional drivers tool. I'm not sure what the underlying fix should be, but it is making me question if there's some sort of larger process issue here because we've managed to drop this on the floor for so long. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel</a> </blockquote></div>
