Open tele1 opened 3 years ago

tele1 commented 3 years ago

I tested 

# cat /etc/*release
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.1
DISTRIB_CODENAME=ulyssa
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa"
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="20.1 (Ulyssa)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
# dpkg -l lightdm
...
ii  lightdm        1.30.0-0ubuntu3.1 amd64        Display Manager

From /etc/log/syslog

Feb  2 11:44:24 user lightdm[4946]: Error: can't open /lib/modules/5.8.0-41-generic/updates/dkms
Feb  2 11:44:24 user lightdm[4946]: Error: can't open /lib/modules/5.8.0-41-generic/updates/dkms

Why / for what lightdm need dkms ?

If you need this info

# ls -l /lib/modules/5.8.0-41-generic/updates/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 584216 sty 31 21:11 vboxdrv.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  15048 sty 31 21:11 vboxnetadp.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  38312 sty 31 21:11 vboxnetflt.ko

So dkms path not exist.

I also have now this problem. I guess it happens for me after some tricks with VirualBox updating, which broke DKMS, which broke something with video driver nvidia. Attempt re install driver broke lightdm.

@robert-ancell have you idea is it lightm a really need /lib/modules/5.8.0-41-generic/updates/dkms or the real problem in another place?
