Bug Description

Hi there,

just wondering how hard it is to identy the cause of a not working nvidia-graphis driver using the Softwarecenter which does quit-install, I realized that the package

linux-headers-generic

is missing out in the Section "Meta-Packages"

I'd like to suggest this request as an ease of installation to have i added there.

Excuses: "quit-install" should read quiet-install in SWC

The autoresponder is ...

Kernel-headers are not supplied as within a standard installation. Therefore the compilation of the closed-source nvidia-graphics fails within SWC without hint.

lookin' up where the package linux-headers-generic (meta-package) is sectioned now reveals it's in (devel)

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-headers-generic&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

I have no idea what files should get attached, if it is as easy as that to look it up...

Setting to confirmed.
