Comment 1 Helge Hielscher 2016-09-03 20:37:31 CEST

The original report was done with the nouveau graphics driver.

When I boot into an nvidia system, the only files not found where:
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/man/man1/nvidia-modprobe.1.xz': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/man/man1/nvidia-persistenced.1.xz': No such file or directory

Comment 2 Charles Edwards 2016-09-03 22:17:43 CEST

The files are missing when nouveau is used because all are symlinks created by update-alternatives when the nvidia driver is selected.

2 files (links)
/usr/share/man/man1/nvidia-modprobe.1.xz
/usr/share/man/man1/nvidia-persistenced.1.xz
are also supposed to be created in the same manner but for some reason are not.

The actual files do exist in /usr/share/man/man1/alt-nvidia* and will be invoked normally by 'man nvidia-modprobe' or 'man nvidia-persistenced', only the link is missing.

As far as I can see there is no real bug there. Can someone close this?
