I just upgraded to Ubuntu 20.10 without realizing this problem with the nvidia-340.108 . The upgrade failed to install this driver with the 5.8 kernel that comes with the upgrade. Fortunately, I still have the 5.4 kernel that is compatible. I have a Dell Inspiron 1400 with legacy GPU GeForce 8400M GS. I wondered whether there is or will be a fix for the nvidia driver to make it compatible with the 5.8 kernel in Ubuntu 20.10. Thank you for your help.

Anyway I have to complain in not seeing Nvidia 340.108 driver for kernels 5.5 and 5.6 yet, leaving users stuck on kernel 5.4, because Nvidia 340.108 fails to install with kernels 5.5 and 5.6. Archlinux already has a driver for Kernel 5.6 via AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-340xx/) and Debian SID has one for kernel 5.5. So, the question is: when will we see a new version in repositories? Bye and have a nice day.
