nvidia-340 fails to build against linux 5.3.0-23-generic

[Alberto Milone]

nvidia-340 fails to build against linux 5.3.0-23-generic.

SRU Request:

[Test Case]
1) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new 340 NVIDIA driver (340.107-0ubuntu0.16.04.4).

2) Check that the kernel module can be built against the new kernel.

3) Restart your computer, and see if everything works correctly when
accessing the desktop.

[Regression Potential]
Low. The update only fixes build issues with Linux versions 5.3.

I assume eoan/focal needs this as well?

Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-340/340.107-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
