Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It appears your file:
    /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/195.36.24/build/nvacpi.c
is truncated and only about half the size it should be.

Please check that you have plenty of disk space free using this command:
    df -h /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/195.36.24/build/nvacpi.c

Once confirmed that you have at least 500MB free, please then try reinstalling the nvidia driver using this command:
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current
