I believe I fixed this by killing the process that the 'nvidia' user was using then purging and reinstalling. We'll see how it goes. The issue seemed to be from a bad DKMS build which I seem to remember something about when I did my last 'dist-upgrade'. Apt no longer complains about broken pakages and sudo lshw -c video | grep 'configuration' shows nvidia drivers in use. ** Attachment added: Not a fix of the problem but it seems to get you back to golden after you encounter it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1378949/+attachment/4239859/+files/Attempting%20to%20reinstall%20nvidia%20driver ** Tags added: dkms -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1378949 Title: package nvidia-331 331.89-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1378949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
