This happened to me on a brand new 24.04 installation. I did not have build-essential or the kernel headers installed. I did an update and the nvidia drivers tried to compile modules but can't (no gcc and no headers). After a reboot the running kernel changed (because it was updated) and the older drivers won't work. To fix:
- Install headers matching the running kernel $ sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) - Install build-essential $ sudo apt install build-essential - Check the recommended drivers $ ubuntu-drivers devices - Install recommended driver $ ubuntu-drivers autoinstall -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2115148 Title: nvidia driver error: cannot open linker script file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules/+bug/2115148/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
