Title:
nvidia-340.104 dkms fails to build against 4.13.0-26
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Laptops like my Thinkpad W510 cannot use newer drivers than nvidia-340
because support for their old GPU was dropped in newer revisions.
Meltdown/Spectre is upon us and I got 4.13.0-26 today, but
nvidia-340's dkms driver will not build, for the common reason most
nvidia drivers won't build against the new kernels. Looking at
nvidia's official announcement I did not see a plan or release date
for updates to nvidia-340, yet.
Since my laptop is my own, I'm running with the pre-KPTI 4.10.0-42 for
now, but figured I should report this.
