nvidia-331 331.89-0ubuntu5: nvidia-331 kernel module failed to build

[Shahbaz Youssefi]

Ubuntu asked me to report this and I can't seem to find the related DKMS log file none of the /var/lib/dkms log files contain an "error:".

Bug #1366686 seems like this could be a duplicate of, but I can't tell at this moment. In particular, this comment (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1366686/comments/3) may have some merit. I had been using the most up-to-date driver downloaded from the website of Nvidia for a couple of years until I finally got fed up with recompiling it on every minor kernel update and I switched to the Ubuntu-managed package about 4~5 months ago.

Looking at the DKMS log automatically appended, it seems to have nothing to do with the one I linked. It seems that right after compiling one of the files, the file has gone missing. I have plenty of disk space on that partition.
