We seem to be missing the required log file "make.log" to diagnose this problem. To regenerate it please run these commands:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-96
find /var/lib/dkms/nv* -name make.log

That will show you where the log file is. When you have found it, please attach the file to this bug and change the status back to New. Thanks in advance...
