If you need my log file, please let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872950 Title: Nvidia 340.108 fails to install with kernels 5.5 and 5.6 Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi developers, thanks for your great work on porting legacy drivers to Ubuntu. 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.
