I've found a hack that will enable nvidia module to insert into kernel: Uncomment this line: #PATCH[1]="buildfix_kernel_4.3.patch"
in file /usr/src/nvidia-304-304.132/dkms.conf then sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-304 In Ubuntu 16.04 it was uncommented, because there were some mtrr changes in 4.3.0 kernel. This patch works for 4.8.0 kernel also. Module works, but something is wrong with acceleration, because Unity is not working. This should throw some light on it: $ glxgears X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 155 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 30 Current serial number in output stream: 31 but running as sudo works $ sudo glxgears Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. 303 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.420 FPS 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.928 FPS I'm currently using gnome-session-flashback with metacity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634802 Title: Could not insert module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1634802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
