@Alberto Milone I applied you attached patch to: /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-common.config
in addition to what I had already applied previously to: /usr/share/pyshared/NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common Same problem persists... I guess Mike Stroyan has a point here... See his comment #19 He provided logical explanation for why this is happening and why it should be fixed in postinst.d/dkms and not in nvidia-common, and he quoted the debconf manual to justify his reasoning, which seems appropriate in this case.. After adding "1>&2" to the invocation of /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms as he recommended: Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d. run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms * Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.30-phc1 * madwifi-hal (0.10.5.6)... madwifi-hal (0.10.5.6): Already installed on this kernel.
