Title:
nvidia-304 (not installed): nvidia-304 kernel module failed to build
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I had used nvidia-304 successfully in Lubuntu 16.04.
With Lubuntu 16.10, it would not load into the kernel.
I just recently downloaded a fixed 304.132 version, which loaded into the
kernel, and was
usable, but a program (Hugin) which had started up fine under nouveau (but
during the use of which nouveau had screen-crashed, forcing hard-shutdown),
failed to start, with the following terminal output:
"
The program 'hugin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 541 error_code 2 request_code 154 minor_code 24)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
"
Since Hugin had worked fine in Lubuntu 16.04 with nvidia-304 - 304.131,
I found a version of that for Xenial Xerus (304.131-0ubuntu3) at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304, and tried
to install that.
It failed to install, however...

I will (try to) attach the log file for the install
("/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-304/304.131/build/make.log"), but here are the lines
containing the word "error":
"echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \

echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix

I am hoping that there is some simple way to get this older version to
load/work,
as I am running out of options for being able to run Hugin:
1: nouveau screen-crashes in Hugin (which starts up fine) when I try to open
the images from which to make the panorama
2: the fixed nvidia-304.132 loads in the kernal, but Hugin crashes upon
starting up
3: the older nvidia-304.131 fails to install
4: I would consider going back to 16.04 (which is in one of 5 partitions
which I reserve for different Lubuntu versions as they come along), but grub,
in installing 16.10, somehow made booting 16.04 impossible (some sort of
Emergency terminal starts up, and I don't know enough of what's happening to
know what to do... The partition is fine - I can traverse the directory tree
and look at files, etc. but I cannot boot it...)
If anyone knows what is going on when I attempt to install 304.131 here in
Lubuntu 16.10,
and can advise me what to do. I would be very grateful.
