Some more details to my previous comment #9... While installing the 16.10/Yakkety nvidia-340_340.96-0ubuntu6_amd64.deb did get the Nvidia driver working, as shown by the Nvidia logo before the desktop appears, there must have been something slightly amiss about the installation.
On trying to run certain programs (e.g. Steam), I got an error message mentioning libGL and swrast. Maybe some symbolic link wasn't made correctly for 16.04 when installing the 16.10 package??? glxgears did seem to work OK however. So that solution isn't perfect, but if someone more knowledgeable than me wants to give it a try, the problem could probably be easily fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573508 Title: nvidia-361 361.42-0ubuntu2: nvidia-361 kernel module failed to build [error: too many arguments to function ‘get_user_pages’] Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-361 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: NA ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: nvidia-361 361.42-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 DKMSKernelVersion: 4.6.0-040600rc4-lowlatency Date: Fri Apr 22 15:43:10 2016 DuplicateSignature: dkms:nvidia-361:361.42-0ubuntu2:/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-361/361.42/build/nvidia/os-mlock.c:119:11: error: too many arguments to function ‘get_user_pages’ InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-22 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) PackageVersion: 361.42-0ubuntu2 RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.18.4ubuntu1 apt 1.2.10ubuntu1 SourcePackage: nvidia-graphics-drivers-361 Title: nvidia-361 361.42-0ubuntu2: nvidia-361 kernel module failed to build UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1573508/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
