So, I'm lucky enough to be able to USE my machine just because I'm not actually using NVidia drivers?
My problem with this bug is "only" that I get an error message about something crashing every time there's a kernel update. I thought that was it, but I see there are people whose system stop booting or becomes unusable because of this, WTF! That is, what, everybody using ubuntu 14.04 with an NVidia card that doesn't have the Optimus technology (which renders the nvidia card useless on linux, but on the up side, avoids this bug, apparently)? And it's been a year without fixing. I'm done with Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1431753 Title: Nvidia binary driver FTBS due to DKMS layer violation Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340-updates package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-346 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-346-updates package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340-updates source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-346 source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-346-updates source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: Filing this against the 340-updates version but possibly the same applies to older versions, too. The nvidia source package produces two individual dkms packages: nvidia-340-updates, nvidia-340-updates-uvm. The problem is that the DKMS build of the nvidia-uvm module runs compile steps inside the nvidia modules build directory. This is violating the DKMS assumption that each module can be build independently (there is no way of describing cross-modules dependencies and even more important, the autoinstall step after a new kernel is installed will run the modules build in parallel). Since nvidia and nvidia-uvm are very dependent on each other the right course of action seems to be to combine both sources in one DKMS module that produces two kernel modules (this is supported by DKMS). For the transition this resulting dkms package needs to have a breaks/replaces for the nvidia-uvm package.
