Bug Description

After kernel update to 3.13.0-143, my second monitor stopped working and was no longer detected. Reverting to 3.13.0-142 fixed the problem.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.16 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

This may take a while. I'll need to find half a day to fiddle with this. However, here's an interesting note. When booting with the 3.13.0-143 kernel, the NVIDIA X Server Settings applet didn't display any of the X server info. Uninstalling the NVIDIA driver didn't fix things; the second screen still wasn't detected.

I have a Nvidia GeForce 210 card, and this kernel broke the Nvidia Video Driver kernel module for Nvidia-340-102 video driver. System boots up and doesn't use nvidia driver, which makes the system hardly usable for my purposes.

This is the new error I get with this kernel upon bootup from dmesg:

[ 43.172202] nvidia: version magic '3.13.0-143-generic SMP mod_unload modversions ' should be '3.13.0-143-generic SMP mod_unload modversions retpoline '

ok... this issue is FAR more widespread than I see reported here. I just upgraded my other Ubuntu 14.04 system -- this one has an NVidia GeForce 1060, and my nvidia driver won't load, it instead loads Nouveau

... and as above, the same error in /var/log/syslog:

Mar 13 21:55:09 Godzilla kernel: [ 20.720161] nvidia: version magic '3.13.0-143-generic SMP mod_unload modversions ' should be '3.13.0-143-generic SMP mod_unload modversions retpoline '

This is running the Nvidia driver 384.111

So, I would suspect that anyone running Ubuntu 14.04 with a NVidia graphics card who upgrades to kernel 3.13.0-143 will have problems with their system immediately upon reboot...

Here's the issue:

The newer kernels have the retpoline Spectre mitigation. You're going to need to rebuild your nvidia.ko kernel module with a patched version of the stock distribution gcc.
