Hello. This is my first post in Ubuntu Forums.
I am running 12.04 precise pangolin LTS. I installed the LTS Hardware Enablement Stack using the following command:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal
Everything installed correctly. I rebooted into the new kernel and found that everything works, so I uninstalled the old kernel 3.2.0 and restarted again.
Strangely, now I cannot install the package nvidia-current. Here is the output:
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-current : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11
Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Question: Are there any special steps needed to install nvidia-current on 12.04 with hardware enablement?
Furthermore, I wanted to know why there is a failed dependency, so I ran
$ apt-cache show xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal | grep Provides:
and it gave me the following:
Provides: xorg-input-abi-18, xorg-renamed-package, xorg-renamed-package-lts-quantal, xorg-video-abi-13, xserver-xorg-core
Thus xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal already provides xserver-xorg-core, so I am wondering why apt-get thinks that xserver-xorg-core is not installed?
