I just logged into my system, the update-manager popped up and said there where a number of updates. When I told it to install them it went ahead, but in the middle of the update it reported that Ubuntu had experienced a problem (the update went on though) and when I reported it it offered me a largish number of issues that might be duplicates. I chose this one because it had the exact same subject line as the bug report generated for me.
I searched under /var/lib/dkms/ and there where no files named DKMSBuildLog.txt there. However, the was /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-375/375.66/4.4.0-83-generic/x86_64/log/make.log with a timestamp matching approximately when the error occurred. However, it didn't appear to have any errors in it. /var/log/apt/term.log was slightly more interesting. It had the following in it: Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d. run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal 4.4.0-83-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-83-generic run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 4.4.0-83-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-83-generic Error!

The log file mentioned (/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-375/375.66/build/make.log) however, does not exist. ** Attachment added: "apt log of the update that I believe caused the issue." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-375/+bug/1699110/+attachment/4907234/+files/term.log ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-375 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699110 Title: nvidia-375 375.66-0ubuntu0.16.04.1: nvidia-375 kernel module failed to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-375/+bug/1699110/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
