Hello.
It seems, that I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. During kernel
update process to v4.4.0-143.169 (from '-proposed') there was an error
message about some issues with 'nvidia' module etc.
'/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-304/304.135/build/make.log' file contains a full
build process informations. Here are some examples (I can paste it
somewhere):

● NOTE: There is more definitions of, mentioned above, 'macros'. For example:
‘__pcpu_size_call’, ‘this_cpu_add’, ‘percpu_add_op’, ‘this_cpu_add_4’ etc.
Generally, they all are repeated in build log.
============[ END of NVIDIA Build log example ]============
That's is only an example (whole build log contains about ~1500 lines). Most
interesting and strange part is that I'm not using 'nvidia' or 'nouveau'
module, but I still can log to system via LightDM! Why is that? Shouldn't there
be some graphics issues? Here are some more informations about 'nvidia' module
(NOTE: I'm logged in and using v4.4.0-143-generic kernel - on which 'nvidia'
module failed to build):
[~]$ modinfo nvidia
modinfo: ERROR: Module nvidia not found.
[~]$ sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:832 kmod_module_insert_module()
could not find module by name='nvidia_304'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_304': Unknown symbol in module, or
unknown parameter (see dmesg)
[~]$ sudo modprobe nvidia_304
modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia_304 not found in directory
/lib/modules/4.4.0-143-generic
(NOTE: dmesg(1) is empty - there is no informations about 'nvidia'
issues).
[~]$ lsmod |grep nvidia
[~]$ lsmod |grep nouveau
By the way: there were some problems with graphics when monitor blacked
out (there should 'light-locker' show up), because of - for example - no
mouse movements or no reaction from user side and after resume colors
were bright, fonts thiner etc. If it's about X.org logs, there is
something like this in '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' file:
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
(...)
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Unloading nvidia
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "nouveau"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
Now, some technical informations about versions etc.:
✗ Linux kernel: v4.4.0-143-generic
✗ Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Release: 16.04
✗ nvidia-304 304.135-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
✗ nvidia-304-updates 304.135-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
✗ xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.12-1build2
✗ lspci(8) info: 00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation
C73 [GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i] (rev a2)
So, there is a problem with latest '-proposed' kernel and 'nvidia'
module. However, everything seems to work okay: even when there is no
graphics module loaded (vide no 'nvidia', no 'nouveau'). Strange.
Thanks, best regards.
