John (earthspike), you said your version is gcc-4.8.real (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4) 4.8.4 but when I run gcc --version I get just gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4) 4.8.4 The version number appears to be the same but instead of gcc-4.8.real I only see gcc. Is that a significant differenc

Kaan Akşit: You are going down the same rabbit hole that I did and it won't work, and will just mess up your system. The problem is not the nVidia driver, it's the kernel upgrade. Go to the thread at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2385621&p=13742281#post13742281 and you will see what
