I did some poking around to see if I could figure out the root cause. I found there are a whole lot of differences between doing a fresh install of 16.04 and upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 in terms of how the system is actually setup, so a quick let's try to find the one thing off was not going to fly. Another wall of sorts I hit is the Nvidia installer is a compiled application and I did not want to take the time to reverse engineer it in order to make sure I could replicate what it was doing step by step in order to figure out the exact step it fails on. A thought I had is I could try to figure out the DKMS calls setup to automatically re-compile the kernel module, but by this time I was feeling pretty fed up, so I just re-installed my laptop. With a fresh install of 16.04, the Nvidia drivers both compiled and work without issue as far as I can tell. I tried installing and opening Google Earth and glxgears and those seem to be working fine.
Another thing that broke in the 'upgrade' to 16.04 was Bluetooth support. Bluetooth seems to work now that the system is re-installed from scratch. -- 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.
