I am not sure if my issue is the same, but I have a system that has been upgraded several times now. Currently I cannot use an nVidia driver newer than 358. Anything newer than that, and while it applies ok via Additional Drivers (I'm using the Proprietary GPU Drivers PPA), on reboot it hangs with a black screen and flashing cursor even before I get to the LUKS password prompt. If I purge nvidia drivers from recovery mode and switch back to Nouveau then I'm fine and can re-select 358.16.
Ubuntu (Xubuntu) 16.04 w/ an Asus GeForce GTX 750 card. According to nVidia, the recommended driver for this card is 375 which is one of the newer ones I tried to no avail. I'll watch this bug in case there's any additional data I can provide to help or at least rule out that these two issues are related. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-367 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1643345 Title: nvidia-367 367.57-0ubuntu0.16.04.1: nvidia-367 kernel module failed to build [Makefile:81: recipe for target 'modules' failed] Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-367 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The default selected nvidia driver 367 does not work in Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit.
