Bugs for the "driver manager" are not tracked at the KDE bug tracker, because it is a distribution specific add on. Please report this issue directly to its developers via https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu |
Just upgraded to Kubuntu 14.04. KDE Driver manager suggested to install proprietary drivers for Nvidia video card. I selected the recommended driver (331.38) and accepted. The driver manager started the installation process but hung on 81%, all I could do is to close it. After that dpkg database was left locked and inconsistent. The process actually was waiting for a user's input. I figured that out when I later executed "sudo dpkg --configure -a". The driver installer showed the following prompt: Configuration file '/etc/init/nvidia-persistenced.conf' ==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation. ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : start a shell to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** nvidia-persistenced.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? y I don't remember removing that file, but in any case the driver manager must handle such user input requests properly and not hang. Reproducible: Didn't try
