Title:
Install of custom kernel fails after recent dkms update
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Release: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (xenial)
Upgrading dkms from 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.6 to 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.7 (the
"fix" for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/1827697)
breaks installation of custom kernels again, as it undoes the fixes
done for bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-
common/+bug/292606 .
To be specific, during package install (either via dpkg or apt-get)
I'm now getting the following error from /usr/sbin/update-grub-legacy-
ec2 which is run from /etc/kernel/postinst.d/x-grub-legacy-ec2 (after
running /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms):
20 Unsupported command "*" (full line was " * dkms: running auto
installation service for kernel ...") received from confmodule.
The only solution I've found so far is to downgrade dkms to
2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.6.
