Title:
  Nvidia 340.108 fails to install with kernels 5.5 onward

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.
