Public bug reported: Some security upgrades to the kernel came through recently via the icon in the taskbar. It included
linux-image-2.6.24-26-generic linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-26-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-26-generic among others. I did /not/ get this package (linux-backports- modules-2.6.24-26-generic) which was a big issue for me, because it includes my wireless network driver (rtl8180), so I lost internet access after rebooting once the security upgrade happened. I was able to figure out quickly enough what happened and install the missing package to fix the problem, but this could be a big problem for other users. Prior to the upgrade, the module in linux-backports- modules-2.6.24-25-generic was working fine. I do have the linux-generic package installed, which I believe is the meta package responsible for sorting all of this out. $ uname -a Linux slartibartfast 2.6.24-26-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 1 18:37:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux $ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 2.6.24-26.64-generic $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS Release: 8.04 $ apt-cache policy linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-26-generic linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-26-generic: Installed: 2.6.24-26.34 Candidate: 2.6.24-26.34 Version table: *** 2.6.24-26.34 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy linux-generic linux-generic: Installed: 2.6.24.26.28 Candidate: 2.6.24.26.28 Version table: *** 2.6.24.26.28 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/restricted Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/restricted Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.6.24.16.18 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/restricted Packages ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Dec 6 23:15:27 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-26-generic 2.6.24-26.34 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24 Uname: Linux 2.6.24-26-generic i686 ** Affects: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug -- fails to install on upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493445 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
