It is an issue for a lot of people here and today, on up to date Ubuntu version. I'm living on development version of Ubuntu for few years now and it is a pain to manually run dkms for each driver after each kernel upgrade. And I'm regularly cleaning my system from old packages and other garbage.
I'd like this to be marked as "Confirmed" again since it is definitely not "Incomplete" and definitely not fixed yet. And I'd like this to be fixed eventually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dkms in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830915 Title: Error during kernel upgrade: Could not locate dkms.conf file Status in dkms package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Настраивается пакет linux-image-3.0.0-9-generic (3.0.0-9.12) ...
