[Hardy] not able to get any output on dpkg -i linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)

Here's the pastebin of the output collected by ALSA

http://pastebin.ca/947041

Lemme tell that my sound is working & everything. I'm just curious why the command doesn't work. Perhaps due to bug 192559 or not?

Looking forward to answers.

Just to add

shirish@Mugglewille:~$ aptitude search linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-generic
i linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-generic - Ubuntu supplied Linux modules for version 2.6.24 on x86/x8

which means the modules are installed

Please correct me, if I'm wrong, but you appear to confuse "dpkg" with "apt-get".
dpkg is rather "low-level" and requires a .deb file to be installed, while you use "apt-get" with package names from repositories.

So, the following should work, but probably tell you that it's installed already:
  sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)

As said, please re-open the bug in case I'm missing your point.
Thank you.

Reopening for more discussion

Hi Daniel,
        I used the wiki which has the following info. for debugging sound problems :-

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems (although I don't have any sound-related issues but)

was just going through the command.

doing the same gave me this output :-

shirish@Mugglewille:~$ dpkg -i linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege

hence I used the 'sudo' command to do the same.

Which either means either the wiki is incorrect & the command is something else (the point there is to generate a list of modules etc. )

Also subscribing u to the bug so you can put your informed understanding & close it if its still invalid or incorrect but with what should be proper info. Would update the wiki if its needed with the info. provided.

Cheers.

Thank you for reporting back.
It looks like the wiki information is wrong, I've fixed it for now; I think Brian meant "dpkg -s" instead.
