nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu3: nvidia-331-updates kernel module failed to build, with only error: "objdump: '... .tmp_nv.o': No such file"

[Aneesh Neelam]

2015-06-16 TJ:

I've published a possibly fixed package for Trusty to my PPA at:

https://launchpad.net/~tj/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia

Please test and report back if that fixes the issue. If it does I can attach the fixed branch to bug #1431753 where the other release fixes are being tracked.

This seems to fix it (at least for one version upgrade) for many people

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

after that...

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

(some users may be on the versions of these packages suffixed with -updates )

Update 2015-05-23:
As of the recent kernel update (3.13.0-53), the above two commands followed by a reboot may not fix it. Instead:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm

followed by a reboot.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Aneesh Neelam (aneesh-neelam)]

DKMS has failed on every subsequent kernel update.
Have to manually remove and install nvidia kernel driver every time.

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

It looks to still be an issue with 331.38 based on duplicate bug 1286389

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

I got this error:

This is on Utopic Mate 14.10

[Elfy (elfy)]

Seeing similar in Xubuntu 14.10 with updated 3.16.0-11-generic

I'd removed nvidia prior to reboot and booted with nouveau, following successful boot, reinstalled nvidia.

This is the fifth (or more) update of the kernel, where i have to manuaaly delete and reinstall the Nvidia 331.38 driver.
My card is a geforce 8600... and this problem has been occuring for a long, long time.

Most of my past reports have been tag as duplicates of other reported bug, the last three or so were declared to be dups of this report (1268257), so i decided to tag it that way right off...

[Bill Turner, wb4alm (wb4alm)]

Can't tell if the debug information captured bny my system has been uploaded and/or attached to this report. If you need it, you will have to tell me where to find it on my system, and I'll be glad to manually attach it.

[Daryl Hughes (zorw2016)]

when i tested Kernel 3.17* RC2 it showed Report problem issue and had X as the mouse with Nvidia-331-updates Drivers installed

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

I got this after a reboot when 3.16.0-12-generic kernel was installed. I also noticed this in the output:

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

Same thing on Utopic Mate:
nvidia-331 331.89-0ubuntu3: nvidia-331 kernel module failed to build.
See my previous comment for the exact same details Mate gave.

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

I got this again today on Utopic when 3.16.0-14-generic was installed.
Although when I deleted the 3.16.0-12-generic kernel the /lib/modules/3.16.0-12-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_331.ko was deleted so it was installed even though it had gotten the error when it was installed.

[Chris Page (chris-page1980-d)]

This doesn't ever seem to be going away. Why not just add 334 to the standard repo.

[Majal (majalmirasol)]

Mine had a crash and reported a bug for nvidia-331-uvm during automatic upgrade (unattended-upgrades). Thereafter I tried to do this:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

after that...

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

and both seemed to work well, "DKMS: install completed." without apparent errors. (?!)

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

I can't reproduce the problem in 14.10 using the default kernel (custom kernels are not supported)

uname -r
3.13.0-37-generic

[Tiago Carrondo (tcarrondo)]

fixed with:
apt-get install nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

And this is what I get in 14.04

# uname -r

I suspect you're either using custom kernels or an obsolete driver release (make sure to enable the -updates repository)

[Zied ALAYA (zied.alaya)]

I was on 14.04 then I ugraded to 14.10 Beta.
the command of Tiago fixed the issue:
apt-get install nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall

[Tommy Bengtsson (tommybe1)]

I fixed with Tiago Carrondo
apt-get install nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall

I found that running the installation after exiting X (sudo service lightdm
stop) also seemed to solve the problem.

[Ferhat (ferhat-akguen)]

I think I destroyed my installation by doing following:

1) Switch with CTRL + ALT + F1
2) sudo service lightdm stop
3) Tried to reinstall nvidia-331. Needed to kill a process before doing that
4) After that the reinstall was successfull
5) After rebooting my desktop was not accessable anymore. I switched to terminal and I have seen the following error: "Could not find module by name "nvidia_331"
6) Than I have removed nvidia-331
7) After rebooting I have activated an older nvidia driver 304
8)...

Currently I can login but no toolbar is shown. No window borders are shown.... Just my desktop background with my shortcuts...

How can I fix that ? :D

Thanks
Ferhat

something like that happened to me - in my case, gnome_panel was no longer
running, which seems to handle the top and side bars and alt-tabbing. I
could just run it from a terminal (or searching for it after starting
files/dolphin from a terminal) but it's still not right.

You could try logging in as a different user?
You could also try removing all the nvidia drivers and using the noveau
driver.
In my case, using the nouveau driver with two 4K displays had a lot of
system pauses.

I did now following:

sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
sudo setsid unity

Now I got my desktop and my window borders back.

[Erv Bendiks (erv-bendiks)]

So currently I'm running nvidia-331-updates.

I don't see nvidia-331-uvm nor nvidia-331-updates-uvm installed.

It's implied they be part of their relative nvidia-331 core packages?

apt-get install nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall worked for me

[Dan (dannyhajj)]

I just happened to me as well, Ubuntu 14.10

If it helps, this is the log of apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8758652/

Maybe these are the problematic lines:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.16.0-24-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331/331.89/build/make.log for more information.
sed: -e expression #1, char 6: unknown command: `m'
sed: -e expression #1, char 6: unknown command: `m'

But unfortunately, I can't seem to find the /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331/331.89/build/make.log file so I can't upload it.

[krnkris (krnacs)]

Hi all,

Same thing.

I tried back to Nouveau....
then reinstalled Nvidia all driver
 sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

I have the some problem - look at #1389763 for dkms build log.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Not sure how, but this appears to have been fixed last week by:

nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (331.89-0ubuntu6) vivid; urgency=medium

  * debian/templates/dkms_nvidia.conf.in,
    debian/dkms_nvidia/patches/buildfix_kernel_3.18.patch:
    - Add support for Linux 3.18.
      Thanks to Rico Tzschichholz for recommending the patch.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Although most people are not using vivid. And utopic still has a known broken version. So maybe this is just a lull in the storm.

[awol (awol99)]

yes this issue has just gone away for me.

And yet still a few new duplicates came in over the weekend. Sounds like some other utopic package update might have fixed it, but of course there are always people who haven't updated.

[awol (awol99)]

i am also now able to use the "additional drivers" GUI.

not only "if it aint broke don't fix it" BUT "if it aint broke you CAN'T
fix it"

i'd say it is now NOT broke.

My problem solved after installing nvidia-304 instead of nvidia-331.

This duplicate is my fault, my apport reported a different nvidia version than the nvidia version in the existing bug, so I was not sure it was the same bug.

[Erv Bendiks (erv-bendiks)]

This is an observation.. not an assertion of any kind.

This is the second time in a row that I haven't seen the 331 bug.
I did a partial uninstall (some stranded packages left over) of KVM on my
previous iteration of 14.04 and didn't see the bug on a subsequent kernel
update.

Subsequent to *that*, (due to my own errors with BIOS SATA DVD configs) I
had to re-install 14.04.01 Ubuntu. It was without KVM since I don't need
it now. After that, I didn't see the the 331 errors with this latest kernel
update either.

I'm using 346, I too thought omg it's fixed!! The last couple of updates ran fine with no errors but this latest update has brought the bug back.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Logging duplicates is fine so don't worry. It's not your fault. We really appreciate it when people go to the trouble of logging bugs. Otherwise we may never find out there's a bug that needs fixing.

I think we need more help though. I count 52 new duplicates this past 24 hours.

[Davey Burgess (ubuntu-ih)]

53, I'm following the main thread and just had the same issue. I
suppressed the reporting since you guys already have plenty of log files
to wade through! :)

Unfortunately the following is a rather generic error (which can be caused be a number of problems), and there's no way to see what went wrong, as the Makefile is probably hiding the actual error:

objdump: '/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331-updates/331.20/build/.tmp_nv.o': No such file
mv: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331-updates/331.20/build/.tmp_nv.o’: No such file or directory

No wonder this bug report has so many duplicates, different problems leading to the same "error".

[Bart Willemsen (b-willemsen8)]

Even though the problem reported is of a DKMS module failing to build, my output with 'dkms status' shows that NVIDIA is properly installed:

Also did some testing, and it didn't break the driver. I can switch from my Intel to NVIDIA with no problems and 3D programs run normally.

I find 14.10 a bit buggy. I frequently get this "System has reported a
problem, Package failed to install" message. I have not had these
problems in past versions of Ubuntu. I'm thinking I should go back to
14.04 and wait for the fog to clear.

[David (lofidevops)]

Alternatively, 14.10 is better at picking up a previously existing issue :D

(More seriously, though, I recall Apport sometimes providing a "hide further instances of this error" option. I wonder why it doesn't come up in this case?)

@albertomilone In this case is there any kind of debug package we can install to provide more detailed error reports? Or does that not really apply to Makefiles?

[Joachim R. (jro)]

Indeed. I have much more alert of this kind since 14.10.
System update is a huge source of problems, an gnome15 became unusable too.

The Makefile/build system should really go back to showing the actual
build error. This makes my life as a maintainer more difficult.

Same here. I saw the error that the DKMS module failed to build however the
Nvidia driver is still working fine.

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

I agree that this error is not really an error and does not affect the DKMS modules at all.
I get the error when a new kernel is installed but the nvidia-331 and nvidia-331-uvm DKMS modules are successfully built.
This can be seen when the kernel is subsequently removed and the DKMS modules are successfully removed.

Also, in 14.10 since it is in final release you probably want to turn off the bug reports as I did and I believe is customary after a version release with this command:
sudo sh -c 'echo "enabled=0" > /etc/default/apport'

Thanks for your reply. But I did not understand why may I want to turn off
the bug reports. Why is it customary? It is exactly possible a final
release may have bugs. Who is apport them?

I guess it's up to you. I don't think most people want to see bug
reports popping up on a final releases, especially LTS versions which
most of mine are. That is what I have always seen in the past. Disable
Apport Error Reporting in Ubuntu 14.10
<http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/09/disable-apport-error-reporting-ubuntu-14-10/>
There is one link that states "Reporting bugs is important, it helps
improving system stability, but if you’re constantly getting crash
report popups, you may want to disable it."
I've got 7 operating systems on my computer and one of them is 15.04
development. But for Precise 12.04 and the others I turned error
reporting off. So, while a system is in development I definitely leave
bug reporting on then once it hits final release I usually replace that
OS with the next development release.

I do not rely on short term releases, I mainly stick with LTS versions.
So, I guess it is a matter of preference.
What's the difference between a Long Term Support Release and a Normal
Release?
<http://askubuntu.com/questions/16366/whats-the-difference-between-a-long-term-support-release-and-a-normal-release>
provides some more information.
But, the bottom line is that is up to you.

You are right, but a big part of the folk uses LTSs and I think LTSs
deserve most working on bug fixes. It is clear that the community is
substantial for fixing bugs. So I think programmers should enable bug
reports and help to maintain LTSs but of course non-programmers will be
bored and not want from the apports.

Bug 1398212 is very similar but it's showing a bus error (core dump) from "./scripts/recordmcount", which might be relevant.

Just as an added thing.. today the module said it failed building again with the latest Linux kernel update in Ubuntu 14.04

[JP (vectorpoem)]

When I try to run

sudo apt-get install nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall

as recommended above, I get this result:

Just adding more data. When I wanted to `apt-get install linux-headers-3.16.0-28 linux-headers-3.16.0-28-generic` I saw these errors:

I was confronted with the same error as #77's.
Here is my log file of nvidia-331-uvm.

[LuoZheng (htfy96)]

Maybe I've got a patch on 14.10 with 3.18 to make dkms work successfully(probably just a workout or unstable)

1. Copy this patch to /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331/331.113/source/patches
2.Modify /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331/331.113/source/dkms.conf and add
PATCH[0]="add_header_drm_gem.patch"
3.Run
sudo dkms install -m nvidia-331 -v 331.113

[hedwin koning (hedwin-koning)]

You have it also for 14.04?

[ekremerguder (ekremerguder)]

i've installed 3.18 and nvidia 346.** works properly now, thank you.

[LuoZheng (htfy96)]

Well, this patch hasn't been tested on any other version. But I guess it may work on kernel 3.17 or above (since my dkms on 3.17 produced the same error message before this patch)

The attachment "add_header_drm_gem.patch" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

For me, this bug appeared with Linux kernel 3.16.0-28.37, and disappeared with Linux kernel 3.16.0-28.38

[Andreas (andreas-rabus)]

Didn't had Bug in the last two kerne updates.

[David Harper (inquisitivedave)]

Just had this one again after a period of relative stability! :(

Software Updater said something about "check the log in /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331/331.113/build/make.log" but then deleted it as part of the clean-up process.

I've run sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331 and it's all worked ok, so I'm hoping I'll be safe after a reboot.

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

I installed Vivid Alpha 1 from ISO yesterday and when I installed the 331.113 drivers I did not get this error at all.
Everything was normal.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

You will find this bug comes and goes according to kernel updates and not nvidia updates. Because it's a DKMS build failure -- it rebuilds your existing nvidia driver against all kernels you have installed whenever your set of kernels changes.

[Daniel (dandauchy)]

ah i see. How do i fix it? Right now, after the last update, whenever I
boot I get a blank screen (i don't even get to the login screen). Seems
like my graphics drivers are all messed up.

[Robin (robingape)]

Daniel,

you could try:

1) get to a root command line interface on boot (hold down the shift key if grub doesn't normally appear)

2A) select recovery, then root login

2B) at the root command line enter:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

OR

1) get to grub (hold down the shift key if grub doesn't normally appear)

2A) select recovery

2B) select failsafe X

3) then,after continuing the boot and then logging in, from a terminal issue the command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

The reconfigure incantation forces the kernel package to be rebuilt.

YMMV! If your machine still fails to reboot with a working X server, or your kitten cries, or whatever, that's your responsibility!

Good luck

R.

[Frank Staphorsius (fstaphorsius)]

Thanks for the support! Ubuntu is not reporting it anymore, so it should be ok now.

[xtsbdu3reyrbrmroezob (xtsbdu3reyrbrmroezob)]

This issue appeared for me when I was running an older kernel that was no longer in the latest repositories. Once I installed and rebooted into the most recent kernel the driver installed fine.

[snurfle (snurfle)]

Brand new installation of 14.04, this error showed up on the first reboot, nothing else installed or loaded. Bug report is apparently a duplicate of this one. Lots of messages to look through on this one, but figured I'd add mine as well. Kinda frustrating to do a fresh install to get rid of all the issues caused by the latest updates only to have a bunch of new issues show up, especially in a LTS.

[Wrwrwr (wrwrwr)]

Appears since dist upgrade from 12.04. Similar DKSM log as in the comment #79 -- starting with: "make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-44-generic'" and missing "include/generated/autoconf.h".

[dino99 (9d9)]

Here is a workaround to force nvidia compilation with a new kernel:

-first be sure to get both 2 kernel headers & both 2 kernel images installed
- then inside /usr/src/nvidia ... /

Change f_dentry to f_path.dentry in nv.c and nv-frontend.c files.
 And change MODULE_LICENSE("NVIDIA"); to MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); in the same files.

- when the changes are made and saved, then reinstall the 4 kernel files: you should no more see compilation errors, and get a smooth boot with that kernel.

[Aneesh Neelam (aneesh-neelam)]

This occurs on Utopic as well.

The Nvidia DKMS process failed for nvidia-331.113 when upgrading from kernel-3.16.0-28-generic-x86_64 to kernel-3.16.0-29-generic-x86_64.

Have to manually reinstall nvidia-331 and nvidia-331-uvm by,
# apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall
after every kernel upgrade.

[snurfle (snurfle)]

This is not a "new" kernel. This is wherever comes with the downloaded
Ubuntu 14.04.

I have gtx 780 directcu ii. Upgraded to 340.65 by adding Nvidia xorg PPA no
issues now. Also updated to 3.17 kernel. Driver updates now show up in
additional drivers too.

The same as in comment #101 for nvidia-331-updates on 14.10 (utopic)

nvidia-331-updates 331.113-0ubuntu0.1: nvidia-331-updates kernel module failed to build

[Julia (juliabanks)]

I also just had this happen same as comment #101 for 14.10 too, but on regular nvidia 331 non updates (tested) version too. (The default version of nvidia 331 under Additional Drivers that came when I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10 a couple weeks ago.)

Same failed to build error message. Manually reinstalling nvidia-331 and nvidia-331-uvm solved the problem for me too.

[Tommy Skiles (tdskiles)]

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

It seems that the suggestion #101 works for 14.04 as well for kernel 3.13.44

[Selim (salaluf416)]

Even though there was a bug report, my nvidia drivers seem to be working
fine and it's not reporting the bug after restart. I will try your fix if
there is any problem.

I did the manual update but now screen resolution is very crude. If this
happened in the past I used a Nvidia script to get nvdia resolutions back.
I tried it this time and it didn't work. How do I get screen resolutions
back?
I'm suspecting nvidia is not included in boot script now or is failing.

[Bart Willemsen (b-willemsen8)]

Another kernel update, another crash here.

[Michael Korn (w-michael)]

I have the same Problem with nvidia-340.65 and 3.16.0-29-generic, too.

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

Got a new kernel in Trusty 14.04 yesterday and got this error. Did the steps in post #100 that dino99 suggested. Looked good rebooted and all is fine. Will see if that fixes the problem from now on.

[Milo (milo-in-orde)]

Solved it for now by moving to a console (ctrl-alt-f1)
stop (in my case) gdm: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
reinstall package: aptitude reinstall nvidia-331-updates

and reboot after successful install.

[Joe Linux (j-linux)]

Hello,

Same "shit" since few months with again and again each new kernel update on my Ubuntu 14.04.1 64-b full install.
I'm only using the official Ubuntu update channel.
Fortunately this version is a LTS one, if not guess what.
Who said Windoze ! Linux is not so far !

Cheers

[Varuka Salt (varuka)]

Jane. Stop this crazy thing. How do I get off the email list? I'm not
having this issue anymore and I'm getting emails all day

Refer to post #111 for how to unsubscribe. Neolaser mentioned it once there already.

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

Refer to post #100 for the fix by dino99.
If you simply reinstall the driver it will happen the next time a kernel is in updates.
I believe dino99's fix should fix it once and for all.
I'm waiting on the next kernel to come along to verify that.

[snurfle (snurfle)]

*@joe linux... preach it, brother. This has been over a year; a blue
million duplicates, and still no definite solutions.*

*I spent last night determined to get this thing working. This LTS has a
good amount of video issues, as one bug report shows. This thread is over a
year old and is still being updated today. And please note - none of the
proposed solutions match the solutions recommended to me for resolving the
14.04 graphic issues I am suffering on a new fresh install of 14.04.1:*

manually remove and install nvidia kernel driver

sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331, sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

apt-get install nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall

run the installation after exiting X (sudo service lightdm stop) also
seemed to solve the problem.

try logging in as a different user

try removing all the nvidia drivers and using the noveau driver.

sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz/, sudo setsid unity

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331 The reconfigure incantation forces the
kernel package to be rebuilt. YMMV! If your machine still fails to reboot
with a working X server... that's your responsibility!

install and reboot into the most recent kernel the driver installed fine.

first be sure to get both 2 kernel headers & both 2 kernel images installed
then inside /usr/src/nvidia ... Change f_dentry to f_path.dentry in nv.c
and nv-frontend.c files. And change MODULE_LICENSE("NVIDIA"); to
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); in the same files. when the changes are made and
saved, then reinstall the 4 kernel files: you should no more see
compilation errors, and get a smooth boot with that kernel.

add Nvidia xorg PPA

Manually reinstall nvidia-331 and nvidia-331-uvm

download the latest driver from Nvidia, reboot, kill running X, run
NVIDIA-xxxxx.run start X

...

*And here are some of the results posted to those solutions:*

After rebooting my desktop was not accessable anymore.

in my case, gnome_panel was no longer running, I could just run it from a
terminal ... but it's still not right.

left my apt in a broken state, I can't add or remove any packages.

apt-get install nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall did NOT fix for me.

Reboot... nothing changed the drivel is falty.

via the gui or command line does not work for me

this appears to have been fixed last week by:
nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (331.89-0ubuntu6) vivid. Although most
people are not using vivid. And utopic still has a known broken version.

the module said it failed building again with the latest Linux kernel
update in Ubuntu 14.04

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.16.0-28-generic
(x86_64)

after the last update, whenever I boot I get a blank screen

Have to manually reinstall nvidia-331 and nvidia-331-uvm... after every
kernel upgrade.

I did the manual update but now screen resolution is very crude.

I tried it this time and it didn't work. How do I get screen resolutions
back?

Another kernel update, another crash here.

I have the same Problem with nvidia-340.65 and 3.16.0-29-generic, too.

*I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that, based on my experience so
far, and based also on the issues I have seen that impact so many ...

[snurfle (snurfle)]

I see post 100 listed as a "workaround", and I see multiple other solutions
after that... is the process in post 100 the official ubuntu solution? If
so, this should be listed as "fix released." Again. Otherwise, there is
really no way for anyone who gets pointed to this thread to know which of
the solutions is the working one.

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

Those other workarounds are mentioning re-installing the driver. That may prevent the error but during the next kernel installation you will likely see the error again. Post #100 by dino99 is a modification that you make for future kernels so they do not get the error. The error message to me is bogus as the drivers do in fact install just fine AFAIK. That is about all I know; I'm not a developer, I'm a tester...

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

I just got this again on Vivid 15.04 when 3.18.0-9-generic kernel installed.
Going to try the fix from post #100. I did it on Trusty now on Vivid.
Then the next kernel install will tell if it worked.

Please upgrade it, current Nvidia driver version is 340, why are u keep using 331 ?!

[snurfle (snurfle)]

>why are u keep using 331 ?!

i are keep using 331 because nvidia-current has led to more problems than
just this, in fact it made the system essentially unusable. the
xorg-edgers drivers are no better... underscanning causes serious issues
with screen refreshes, edge scrolling, panel sizes, mouse clicks are not
where the hotspot should be, shadow artifacts remaining on the screen, etc.
The 331 driver may show as being broken at every. single. kernel. update. -
but at least after applying the proposed bandaids, at least it provides a
working desktop.
Maybe if the root problem were actually fixed instead of band-aided, then
the driver version would not enter into it.

[David Anderson (davea42)]

14.04 Trusty has 331 as both the test and updated nvidia driver. That's why.

[David Anderson (davea42)]

I meant tested and updates. "Additonal Drivers" . The Additional Drivers page
lists 173.14.39, 304.125,, and 331.113 for a machine with
old card: GeForce 9500GT (14.04 Trusty). A

and for GTX 760 lists 331.113 .

[orntos (orntos)]

Hello,

Reinstallation of Nvidia driver helps.
For first, remove Nvidia drivers after kernel patching, after that reboot a
system.
Secondly, install it again.

It's working well right now.

Thank you, I'll try that if I get the same problem on the next kernel update. I reselected the driver in the gui and everything seems to be behaving itself again.

I reported this to the official Nvidia site as well. I suggest everyone else do the same. By the end of it, Nvidia holds the key to fixing the problem.

[snurfle (snurfle)]

OK... I was using the nvidia-current drivers in xubuntu 14.10 with no
issues whatsoever. The issues I have with that driver did not appear until
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04. So are we supposed to hold Nvidia
accountable for what appears to me to be a Ubuntu problem? Or am I simply
not understanding the cause of the issue?

From what I can tell this is an Ubuntu issue. There's no reason to bug Nvidia
about it since they don't do any work with the Ubuntu packages

[Joachim R. (jro)]

Just had a message indication that nvidia-331 installation failed (on session opening, after loggon)

[Brian Norris (computersforpeace)]

The Ubuntu package is mostly just a drop-in of the official Nvidia packages for Linux:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

So yes, this is actually an Nvidia upstream problem.

I suspect that there is some sort of race condition in the provided build scripts written by Nvidia, and they are only showing up intermittently or under particular system configurations/states, so package reinstallation tends to work fine the second time.

Related: I see this comment in Nvidia's Makefile regarding the "new" build system in Linux >= 2.6:

# The new approach currently has its own share of problems, some of which
# are architectural difficulties with KBUILD, others minor annoyances. For
# this reason, an improved version of the NVIDIA Makefile is available to
# those experiencing difficulties.

So it sounds like they admit to having architectural difficulties here. I wonder where this "improved version" of the Makefile can be obtained...

[Grzegorz Śliwiński (fizyk)]

Maybe it's not the nvidia drivers problem, but kernel issue actually? Because I hadn't had this problem since 3.13.0-44 update.

For me error occured during install, but after reboot everything seems to work fine.

Either that, or a large number of issues that appeared since 3.13.0.44 update is not related to this one at all.

[Nick B. (futurepilot)]

The Ubuntu packages are not just a drop-in. They hook into DKMS which the
Nvidia drivers themselves do not do. There's also a lot of other Ubuntu
specific things that the package does. Looking at all these bugs they all have
to do with the module failing to build with the Ubuntu package. I don't see
any reports of the issue with Nvidia .run installer.

[Brian Norris (computersforpeace)]

Go ahead and run the .run package, and you'll see that it indeed does support DKMS, and the dkms.conf file is identical to the those in Ubuntu. So yes, the Ubuntu nvidia packages are mostly direct from Nvidia.

That doesn't rule out other problems in Ubuntu, of course. This bug could actually be an issue with the DKMS tool, with the Nvidia-provided Makefile or dkms.conf, or with the Ubuntu-modified kernel itself. I'd lean toward one of the first two, and not the third. The kernel is not developed for DKMS, but DKMS is developed for the kernel.

For those who complained about the most recent kernel updates being related: the original report (and several reproductions of it) came before 3.13-0-44. So the large number of recent issues are likely coincidental, or exacerbated by some other still-unknown issue.

Hello,

Reinstallation of Nvidia driver helps.
For first, remove Nvidia drivers after kernel patching, after that reboot a
system.
Secondly, install it again.

It's working well right now.

[Gordon Hocking (ghocking)]

Hi guys, I am sending this because I have just installed a new kernal and the problem continues. I do not think it is having any impact on my ststem other than nuisance but I cannot be sure. I am following the bug reports and you guys need to know that for people without to much technical ability the brief do this do that is over our heads. What is needed is a release that will automatically install in update manager. I fully understand if a workaround is required to keep the system up this is a different situation. Does anyone know when a release to fix the nvidia problem will be made as looking at the various emails it seems you are getting close to a fix? In any event your help is appreciated. thank you

[eric (obrowny06)]

Hello everybody !

It happended to me while upgrading from 3.13.0-43 to 3.13.0-44 on a ubuntu 14.04
nvidia module could not build.
I realised that the update didn't upgraded the linux headers and linux headers generic.
So the solution for me was to install the headers (booting from the older kernel) and execute :
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall

Everything now works as a charm !
hope this helps !

eric

[Chad Wansing (chad-wansing)]

It may be worth noting that for my 14.04 install, after running this update
my second screen in my Optimus configuration started running correctly, but
after the reboot when this was reported my second screen stopped working
and my work VM (windows 7 running in VMW Workstation 10.latest) reported
video compatibility issues and is now experiencing blue screens (3 times in
two days since the reboot). Don't have any logging to show firm
correlation, but it's awfully suspicious.

Respectfully,

Chad Wansing

[Dewaci (wilbur-spammail)]

Re-installing the drivers seems the solved the problem for me.
Thanks for the info

[snurfle (snurfle)]

Got a different error message during an update today, but it was marked as a duplicate of this one.
Worth reporting anyway since the update might have been intended to fix the problem, and reporting it is the only way anyone will know that the update did not fix it.
Also worth mentioning that this problem did not occur at all with Xubuntu 14.10, maybe someone should look into what Xubuntu is doing differently.

[sepide sobhgahi (statik-ag)]

I have the <KM Player> deleted and then <NVIDIA> driver reinstalled.
it works!

Newer 346.35 nvidia driver (edgers)

#100 workaround comments was about the 346.22 driver

346.35 is a bit different, and you only need to do the change for MODULE_LICENSE that time

Sup guys,

I think I might have experienced the same issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates/+bug/1412406

Not sure, but someone marked it as duplicate.

Anyway, I just convinced a friend to use Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS instead of Windows, and then this happens 2x in a row - for both of us - on all our Nvidia machines (2x laptops, 2x desktops). First it happend with the Nvidia -current repo, then with the -update repo, using driver 331.113.

In my case, the error mentioned above popped up, but Ubuntu still works as intended after a reboot. However, my friend didn't have that much luck. In his case, Ubuntu kept crashing and games would get buggy. The solution: Uninstall the Nvidia drivers, reboot, use Nouveau, install the Nvidia drivers again, reboot, done.

I expect this kind of OS breaking behaviour on normal releases of Ubuntu, but not on LTS.

Cheers,
Alex

[Davide Mannarelli (davidemannarelli)]

Solved in this way:

1) boot with old kernel (3.13.0-44)
2) login without gui (ctrl-alt-f1)
3) login with root (if enabled)
3) stopping lightdm (service lightdm stop)
4) a little cleaning (apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove)
5) update source and fix (apt-get update && apt-get install -f)
6) install nvidia (apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-331-updates-uvm)
7) upgrade (apt-get upgrade)
8) reboot (shutdown -r now)
9) boot with new kernel (3.13.0-45)
10) :-)

[mat (drmtiede-k)]

ci ho provato ma non ha funzionato - all'avvio mi ha dato un sacco di error
messages.

Tárgy: [Bug 1268257] Re: nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu3:
nvidia-331-updates kernel module failed to build, with only error:
"objdump: '... .tmp_nv.o': No such file"
Dátum: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 09:16:46 -0000

Solved in this way:

1) boot with old kernel (3.13.0-44)
2) login without gui (ctrl-alt-f1)
3) login with root (if enabled)
3) stopping lightdm (service lightdm stop)
4) a little cleaning (apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove)
5) update source and fix (apt-get update && apt-get install -f)
6) install nvidia (apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-331-updates-uvm)
7) upgrade (apt-get upgrade)
8) reboot (shutdown -r now)
9) boot with new kernel (3.13.0-45)
10) :-)

Rebooting now takes me to a CLI login prompt. But when I try to give it my
login credentials, the screen flickers and then it takes me to the GUI
login prompt.

After logging in, everything seems to function as it has been since
installing last month, only it pops up a "system error" box, asks to load a
blue million files to file a bug report with, but after an hour it has not
done anything at all. (Literally an hour, I decided to wait since most of
the bug reports it has been filing usually take 3-5 minutes.)

Rebooting brings it back to the normal startup - that is, no login at all,
but straight to the desktop, like I had initially set it to do.

Rebooting again goes back through the login prompts.

When it goes through the login screen reboot (as opposed to going straight
to the desktop like it also does sometimes,) it is also completely ignoring
the 'viewportout' settings in xorg.conf.

The Xorg log shows a lot of nvidia and nouveau entries; but does not show
why that would randomly switch how it decides how to let me login.

udev log is ~14000 lines long, mostly relating to the sound. This makes
sense given the sound issues. but again - nothing pointing to login or
viewportout.

kern.log is also huge (~10000 lines), but the most recent entries are
primarily hda-codec related.

dpkg log is ~225000 lines long, and I honestly don't feel like spending my
day reading through that much stuff - I'm really not even sure what to look
for to find something relating to when it decides to take me to a cli
login, and gui login, or just go straight to the desktop - this was always
done as a 'set it and forget it' switch in previous versions of Ubuntu. why
they had to change it is beyond me.

gpu-manager.log, interestingly, ends with:

System configuration has changed
Removing xorg.conf. Path: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Which is interesting since my system has *not* changed; all I did is
reboot. And curiously, there IS an xorg.conf.

This latest solution does not seem like it is working very well at all.

Oh, and THIS is fun... now my laptop (Lenovo W530) has started reporting
the same stinking error. This is like watching a train wreck.

[Leyli Cecil (leycec-3)]

This bug is horrible and must die. My base intuition concurs with Brian Norris' prior commentary. Quoted for truth:

"I suspect that there is some sort of race condition in the provided build scripts written by Nvidia, and they are only showing up intermittently or under particular system configurations/states, so package reinstallation tends to work fine the second time.

Related: I see this comment in Nvidia's Makefile regarding the "new" build system in Linux >= 2.6:

# The new approach currently has its own share of problems, some of which
# are architectural difficulties with KBUILD, others minor annoyances. For
# this reason, an improved version of the NVIDIA Makefile is available to
# those experiencing difficulties.

So it sounds like they admit to having architectural difficulties here. I wonder where this "improved version" of the Makefile can be obtained..."

The difficulty of reliably reproducing this bug implies (however weakly) an upstream race condition.

Given Nvidia's intransigence in addressing this, it remains Canonical's responsibility to supply a temporary downstream fix. This is rapidly becoming a community embarrassment – which, if left unresolved, could metastasize into mainstream media attention. (Of the variety we'd rather not have.)

While a genuine solution is probably beyond our purview, the Ubuntu-specific nvidia packages could at least be refactored so as to grep the DKMS build log for the following offending lines and respond by attempting to silently reinstall such packages a second time:

 echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
 echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
 echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \

Given that reinstalling such packages does appear to (mostly) succeed, automating such reinstallation could be of general assistance. Certainly, that's better than nothing – which woefully appears to be the current approach.

How to unsubscribe ? I have not subscribe to this email list ? It was a system report that do it. I dont want to receive lots of bug email reports every day. How can I stop this ?

[dino99 (9d9)]

That report is fullfilled by a ton of useless comments: do you think that devs will spend time with all that spam ?
Such issue is widely discussed on ubuntuforums (graphics subforum) where you can find suggestions/workaround; so do you own efforts to be clever and report only technical facts, not blah-blah please.

@sillaos & others: you might know about your profile, right ? so set your prefs as you wish.

SET THAT REPORT CLOSED AS IT IS OF NO USE.

[Joachim R. (jro)]

@dino99 : the bug is invalid for nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates but still exists.
As seen in a "useless" comment, this must be a stop for people coming from MS Windows.

When you look at the workaround, it may be a lightdm or apt bug. What do you suggest ?
Flagging this bug as invalid seems OK, but not sufficient nor constructive. A workaround is a workaround, not a fix nor an acceptable situation.
Helping bug reporter to find the right package to report against may help to solve bug #1.

@wgrant: thanx

@all : at least some motivated dev should take a look at what is the origin of the bug to report it against the right package(s)

[snurfle (snurfle)]

I give up. After entertaining this, and many other issues for the past
month, I am defeated. My askubuntu profile
<http://askubuntu.com/users/362112/snurfle> has more details. That site
has repeatedly maxed out the number of problems I can report in one day,
and has limited the number of updates I can make to show any
troubleshooting I have performed. Now that my laptop is starting to show
the same issues as my desktop, particularly this graphics error - as well
as the host of workarounds (not actual solutions) on this thread, I am
wiping 14.04 before I have no working computers. I really need a
functioning OS.
If someone considers this message to be unnecessary, I would point out that
I feel it is a valid data point to the devs who want to know the extent and
impact this bug is having on the community.
The extent of this bug is that it is impacting multiple machines with
markedly different hardware and requirements, and it is causing the users
(at least this one) to dump the system and return to something that just
works.

The unsubscribe action doesn't work. When I hit the button I get this error message:

Timeout error

Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad.

We’ve recorded what happened, and we’ll fix it as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Trying again in a couple of minutes might work.

Same problem during update of the kernel 3.16.0-30 with NVIDIA driver - version 331.113 (nvidia 331.113-0ubuntu0.1).
But after reboot, everything seems to be properly updated.

[awol (awol99)]

i switched to Debian weeks ago because of THIS problem. it works well.

Download 340.76 driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html,
which corrected this unnecessary glitch.

Lol this is the funniest bug solution that I've ever seen... cool..

BTW this problem suddenly comes back sometimes when the kernel is updated.

I'm not quite sure, but some tips on the official wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia) might help solve this issue.

[Eduardo de Britto Castro (eduardobcastro)]

I'm using a GeForce 8400M GS on a HP Pavilion dv6700 laptop.
Solved changing from version 331.113 to 304.125.

[AzureRaptor (xrg-ubuntunineteen-10-spamviking)]

_Still_ getting this problem on most recent kernel update, 14.04 LTS.

[Bernhard Zürn (bernhard-zuern)]

Yes can still confirm with the latest Updates 14.04 LTS 64bit on Dell XPS 15

[Zero (zerofossilfuel)]

I have recently been having trouble with getting Wine1.7 to coexist with driver 331.113-updates, forced to regress to the non-updates tested version. I suspect the background upgrade problem may be related to Wine. No one has yet made the connection here. Might be worth looking at.

[Arnau Bosch (arnau-m)]

I don't have wine installed, and the problem persists with the last
kernel 3.18.4 and 3.18.5, and the last nvidia drivers, 346.35, i think
the problem is the dkms, Today i updated the virtualbox and the module
was compiled fine. I think the unique solution for the moment is: sudo
apt-get install nvidia-* nvidia-*-uvm --reinstall

I do not have wine installed either. I'm not sure how wine would cause this
anyway.

So....

today I updated my Ubuntu installation again... automatic updates. And yet again "a problem has been detected" with "Nvidia-updates". This is the FOURTH time I am seeing this issue on the SAME machine. I can also confirm it for THREE other machines with Nvidia hardware.

And this is suppose to be an LTS release?

I'd get in touch with Nvidia ASAP to get rid of this issue, since it indeed seems to leave some systems with huge issues. Not sure how it's going to affect me this time, updates just finished and going for a reboot now.

Hope to survive the reboot.

[Виталий (by-skif)]

The problem has occurred after i edited /usr/share/nvidia-331/nvidia-331.grub-gfxpayload to comment the string #v10ded.*sv.*sd.*bc03sc.*

This need to make plymouth loading in graphics mode.

[Quinta Helmer (qhelmer)]

Here the same thing for the second time on the same machine;
nvidea-update error after kernel update (have not rebooted yet).

Not that I want to fill people's inboxes... but I also just upgraded to
the 3.13.0-45-generic #74 on a Xeon W3680 and GeForce GTX 650Ti and it went
through without problems. I looked through all my installed nvidia
packages prior to the upgrade (with an "nvidia" filter in Synaptic Package
Manager), and removed bbswitch-dkms which also removed nvidia-prime,
neither of which seemed relevant to my system.

I had a couple dkms warnings due to updating virtualbox, but nothing that
crashed or failed. On reboot the screens did take a little longer to come
up, but finally did to my original lightdm desktop. My current installed
nvidia packages from the SPM filter are:
dmraid
libcuda1-331-updates
libvdpau1
nvidia-331-update
nvidia-opencl-icd-331-updates
nvidia-settings
ubuntu-drivers-common

SPM and nvidia-settings reports a 331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4 driver version.
I've not yet tried to force the 340.29 CUDA 6.5 driver (from NVIDIA
website) I'd like to be running, as the system seems happy for now.

[Yifan Yang (yfyang-86)]

The issue happens when I installed any private nvidia driver on 14.04 with my NV-550 Ti card on every kernel version (up to 3.13.0-46). As I have *dual screen* (VGA+DVI), which is another issue which may cause the failure of the driver.

This is what I've done to fix it, you may need to enter tty mode (ctrl + alt + F2 for example) and enable web:

```bash
#kill lightdm/kdm/ whatever you X-window is
if [ `ps -ef | grep lightdm | wc -l` -gt 1 ]; then
    sudo service lightdm stop
    else sudo service kdm stop;
fi

# Install kernel-header
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-generic build-essential

# Get official 346.47
wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/346.47/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.47.run

# enable exec &run
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.47.run
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.47.run

```

After installation, reconfigure your unity in case your Gnome fails to load it:

```bash
# reconfig monitors: This is important in my case.
rm ~/.config/monitors.xml

## install ccsm
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager python-compizconfig compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-bcop compiz-fusion-plugins-main compizconfig-backend-gconf
sudo reboot
```

After reboot, you may probably see the Gnome back again. If not hit <Ctrl+Alt+F2> and login:

```bash
#kill lightdm/kdm/ whatever you X-window is
if [ `ps -ef | grep lightdm | wc -l` -gt 1 ]; then
    sudo service lightdm stop
    else sudo service kdm stop;
fi

export DISPLAY=:0.0
ccsm
```
and re-enable unity-plugin when you get back to X using <ctrl+Alt+F7> and configure the display afterwards. You may need to rest the unity and has nothing to do with this thread.

It seems we need to compile the DKMS every time kernel is updated and I personally use my code to re-enable the private driver.

[Pablo Piaggio (papibe)]

Three times in a row now.

Kernel update -> nvidia problem!

[AzureRaptor (xrg-ubuntunineteen-10-spamviking)]

Pretty much a regular occurrence. Kernel update, nvidia fail. Really disappointing on an LTS.

[Petri Janhunen (janhunenpetri)]

Three times in a row here as well. This is really disappointing on LTS release. Really considering to switching to Debian just because of this.

[Jonners59 (jonathan-l-harrison)]

Petri Janhunen (janhunenpetri), I totally agree. Most of the solutions here are beyond general users like myself. We shouldn't keep being expected to become developers or tech engineers, certainly not if Linux is to move in the direction it says it wants to and attract noobs like myself. I can't keep rebuilding my PCs from scratch every 6 months! No dis, but this is sloppy as an IT Director of one of the world's largest tech cos described it to me.

[Grzegorz Śliwiński (fizyk)]

same story on 3.16 kernel on 14.04 again...

[Lars Nyström (xetea)]

This is the first occurence of this problem for me. I've been using 14.04 since the release, but I recently reinstalled Ubuntu. I did not experience this problem with my previous installation of 14.04.

The only difference between my current install and the one where I didn't experience this problem is that I now installed 14.04.2 directly (instead of upgrading to it) and I now use UEFI boot, instead of using Bios compatibility mode (CSM). I have no idea how that would affect the system, but it might be something.

[Paul Beeler (sparksco)]

For me I'm on 14.10 and it only happens when I try to compile and install
my own kernel... I know the same problem exist on 14.04 because I had the
same problem before I updated to 14.10. This bug is not developer friendly
at all as many developers need to compile their own kernels for various
reasons... What am I to do? It seems no progress or even attempt of a fix
is in the near future. I guess I'll have to install Debian or a Debian
based distro like crunchbang Linux...

The same driver bites my ass on both 14.04 and 14.10 actually. I am forced to install Windows on my machine (and lose bcache) on a machine of mine after this driver made the entire system too unstable.

[Allard Pruim (allardpruim)]

Since a month I'm using Kubuntu 14.04 with a GT640, I'm also seeing a error while installing a kernel update. The system however seems to booting fine with the new kernel.

[[e-mail] (peter47home)]

Affects my system (with Geforce GTX 760 (192bit)) also at each kernel update....

[aaron (son-of-god-03)]

Ubuntu 14.04
the command of Tiago fixed the issue:
apt-get install nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall

[ubuntudotcom1 (ubuntudotcom1)]

Thanks for all of your help Daniel.

[RobertDahlström (cinnarob)]

Huge thanks to the person that came up with this:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

fixed all issues for me. I guess reinstalling the module is also doing this behind the scenes and that's why that also works.

Launching reconfiguration pkg nvidia driver I solved the problem.

LOL @Ubuntu!!

I just booted into ubuntu to copy a couple of files over to Windows, and immediately got this error, and it took me straight here.

Glad to see everything is still the same on the Linux side of the world!!

Do I really need to post anything here about my system, or would that just be beating a dead horse at this point?

Hello,

I wanted to know how do I write the commands you wrote to me on e-mail.

[Christian Juner (christian-juner)]

I ran into (apparently the same) this bug with nvidia-340 and nvidia-340-uvm on vivid. The crash reporter directed it to this bug. You should probably either assign my crash report data to a new bug concerning nvidia-340 and nvidia-340-uvm, or add these as affected packages.

[Aneesh Neelam (aneesh-neelam)]

Hello, I am currently running Ubuntu Vivid.

I can confirm that this occurs on Linux 3.19 and Nvidia-346.47 as well.
DKMS fails when a new kernel is installed. Need to reinstall or reconfigure nvidia-346 and nvidia-346-uvm packages manually.

Same problem: I'd love a way to permanently disable this whole useless, closed source Nvidia-crap forever!

[snurfle (snurfle)]

This seems to fix it (at least for one version upgrade) for many
  people

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

  after that...

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

did not fix for me.
come on, people.

[Alexander Liveriero Lavelli (alexander-r)]

It helped me!
Anyway I think we should ask nvidia about breaking the kernel driver model.

[Etienne URBAH (eurbah)]

This bug is still there with Linux kernel 3.16.0-33

But the 'nouveau' module is currently making a lot of progress : For example 'nouveau' bug described at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87819 is fixed.

So, I hope to get devinitively rid of the 'nvidia' bug thanks to the 'nouveau' module embedded in Linux kernel 3.19 brought by Ubuntu Vivid coming soon.

[Robert Dinse (nanook)]

      For what it's worth, I built an 3.18.9 kernel from source after reading
someone else had success with it, and that worked for me.

My fix is simple:
1. open Synaptic
2. search "nvidia"
3 check all installed items
4 reinstall.

Cheers. M.

      Sorry, I was having the problem with Nvidia 304 not 331, and multiple,
and I do mean multiple re-installs didn't make it work.

      This was Ubuntu, and the Nvidia card I have is antique, GT7300, which is
why 304 and not 331, and it worked until a recent upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10,
after which the shipped drivers did not work, and the ones from the Nvidia
website wouldn't build, complained about a missing header file, until I grabbed
a 3.18.9 kernel from kernel.org and built per someone else's recommendations.
This is on an old MacPro 1,1. This shipped drivers just wouldn't load.

      Synaptic package manager, search and remove, or dpkg -l nvidia* and then
remove the ones you don't ened.

For my Ubuntu 14.10, I use this command after an update of the kernel:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall

[Gordon Hocking (ghocking)]

This has worked for me, HP portable.
for the first time the proposed solutions did not come back with file
not found etc:
It seems to be a clean installation.
If any one needs more details contact me but tell me how to pass the
information.

thank you for your cooperation, we are not all techies out there..

Salut!
When I update my kernel from 3.16 to 3.18 the system seems more stable. To late to afirm, but the problem seems has vanished.

[Aneesh Neelam (aneesh-neelam)]

I'm running Ubuntu Vivid. Today, when updating kernel from 3.19.0-9 to 3.19.0-10, DKMS went on without throwing any errors. I suppose it is because nvidia-3xx and nvidia-3xx-uvm packages have been merged. I'm on nvidia-346 (346.47-0ubuntu4)

Now I no longer need to reconfigure or reinstall the nvidia package(s) whenever I get a kernel update.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Nvidia-3476 is no more affected

This is not fixed with nvidia-340. I have Xubuntu 14.04 with nvidia-340 and nvidia-304-uvm installed from the xorg-edgers PPA. It seems nvidia-libopencl1-340 depends on nvidia-340-uvm. I just installed the 3.19.3 vivid kernel from here:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.19.3-vivid/

The suggested solution ( sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331 and sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm ) stopped the Unity launcher and top status bar from displaying, and hotkeys (such as CTRL-ALT-T ) wouldn't work.

I switched to tty1 ( CTRL-ALT-F1 ), logged in, and after lots of online reading discovered the following:

* My linux version (found by using uname -or ) was 3.13.something. Apparently Ubuntu 14.10 (which is what I'm running) doesn't support that version (it's supposed to be 3.16.something). I've run the GUI-prompted updates every time they've appeared (every few days). I wonder how many other people out there are experiencing problems because of the same thing?

* I upgraded my linux version ( sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-et install linux-generic ).

* Then followed the instructions in this bug description ( sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331 and sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm ) and also reinstalled the packages ( sudo install nvidia-331 --reinstall and sudo nvidia-331-uvm --reinstall ). I'm not sure if this second step was necessary. Everything seemed to be compiling ok now.

* Finally, I deleted the dpkg config file which seemed to think it was ok not to display the Unity launcher or status bar (or window dressing for that manner: ( sudo mv ~/.config/dconf/user ~/.config/dconf/user-old ) and then rebooted the system ( sudo reboot ).

My (trying to be helpful) suggestions for the admins for this bug:
 1) Please include some of the above details as a "how to fix" if things go wrong. It's taken me a whole day to return my system to a usable state.
 2) Consider perhaps at some stage Ubuntu updates haven't upgraded from linux version 3.13.something and this is interfering with the nvidia packages (?)

[Jeb E. (jebeld17)]

I don't care so much about Nouveau as I do the Nvidia official drivers. I
never had many problems if at all stability-wise with Nouveau, but I like
the official Nvidia drivers better regardless because they are built
specifically for and by Nvidia for Nvidia products, allowing a more
reliable, consistent graphics experience and snappier speeds.

      The Nouveau drivers don't support accelerated graphics. That makes the
Nvidia drivers really more than just a luxury.

Except they don't support Optimus boards on Linux, so they are just not an option for those of us who have one.

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

The workaround in post #100 works at the level of the individual user, but it's a bit flawed in the sense that it will be undone every time the driver (not the kernel) is updated. In addition, if I understand the legal aspects correctly (IANAL), it does not qualify as a fix because Canonical cannot _distribute_ it without committing a license violation.

And requiring the user to reinstall the driver after every kernel upgrade (post #101) *definitely* doesn't qualify as a fix.

[dino99 (9d9)]

All that is needed is simply to apply the nvidia-346 changes made to the other used nvidia-3xx drivers (backport/sru)
(aka the 'uvm' package have to be inserted into the main nvidia-3xx package)

This is due to a DKMS limitation (by design) as reported with that other bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-346-updates/+bug/1431753

So lp:1268257 is the bad effects met due to lp:1431753 (quite a dupe)

Dpkg-reconfigure does not seem to work.

From dmesg:

After this, trying to login on gdm (gnome-session and system-default-session), a black screen appears.

From there, I restarted gdm service and I was able to loggin.

@Paula Thomas: there are some pathetic packages which needlessly require certain nvidia driver packages regardless of what graphics hardware you have. A while back some bitcoin mining software did this to my desktop, putting it into text mode until I found the culprit.

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

Can someone please, please apply the fix that worked for 346 and 340 to 331 also? Or at the very least explain why this might not be as trivial as it sounds? As I pointed out in lp:1431753, 331 is still the most recent driver supported by the current LTS release. This is a bug that affects thousands of users, not all of whom will be willing/skilled to upgrade their kernels (and then upgrade them again and again every time short-term support runs out). This bug has impacted us badly, and I'm on the verge of stopping to recommend people to use Ubuntu LTS in professional settings, as I feel Canonical is betraying its LTS users big time here. And I'm not the only one losing my patience; see for instance comment #249...

[TWFJR (tom-fiechtl)]

I just did security update Linux Image 3.16.0.34-generic. It seems as if every time that I do the next security update there is a problem as is evident by this bug report: "nvidia-331-updates kernel module failed to build." I use this fix

(This seems to fix it (at least for one version upgrade) for many people

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

after that...

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

(some users may be on the versions of these packages suffixed with -updates )

and the update completes and I restart.

I'm not an advanced Ubuntu tech but something must be wrong with the nvidia driver or the kernel that does not allow for security updates to complete.

What is causing this problem?

I'm about to have an old friend put Ubuntu15.04 on his computer and I hope that this bug is fixed before that update. By convincing him that WIN is more problem for him, I suggested Ubuntu.

After login on desktop Ubuntu, is showed many poup up relating error on panels.

This problem does not happen with ubuntu vivid vervet, where the kernel is updated.

As long as the current LTS (i.e. 331) drivers are not fixed, I think it is wrong to set the status for nvidia-drivers-ubuntu to "Fix Released". Can someone with the necessary permissions please undo the status change by royalsabz (mehrshad-5843) ? And set the importance to "High", while you're at it? This is a really important high-impact bug that should be as high as possible on the agenda until it's completely fixed for all currently supported releases. In this light, the apparent casual lack of attention from Canonical's side is beyond my comprehension. I can only speculate they're too busy making Vivid attractive enough to lure in new users, and are forgetting about keeping long-time users.

To the people who think that's the right thing to do: please try to weigh the potential harm caused by delaying Vivid a day or so against the actual harm of having thousands of long-time users' desktops breaking en masse because of running seemingly-innocuous kernel updates...

I am not sure this should be debated here, but I totally agree with Ken,
I see fix released but have been unable find it anywhere.
Personally my system seems to be OK but until I am satisfied 340 is the
end of the story I still follow this bug.

Having been an advocate for Linux for more than 15 years it is a shame
to see the standard apparently declining.

I wonder if I'll live long enough to see this bug actually fixed. Since version 340 has it fixed, why can't the fixed be retrofitted to version 331?

[Robert Dinse (nanook)]

      I've also had problems with 304, I've not had much luck at all getting
the version supplied with Ubuntu to work, I've had to download 304.125 from
Nvidias website and use it, and even then the DKMS module build never works
so I have to re-install which each new kernel I install. But since I'm
running unsupported (upstream) kernels at this point I've not reported it as
a problem.

@ awol (awol99) : I'll do you one better. At my workplace, we just started the process of gradually upgrading all our machines from 12.04 Precise to 14.04 Trusty. After starting with a few, we've hit this bug. Yesterday, I had a discussion about it with the person responsible for software maintenance, and it looks like we'll be upgrading the whole shop to Debian instead. It's not just the direct annoyance caused by this bug (though it is rather serious given that one of the programs we use professionally requires the proprietary Nvidia driver), but more importantly what Canonical's response (or rater lack thereof) implies for our future level of support.

[Robert Dinse (nanook)]

      For what it's worth, Debian still runs an 3.02 kernel, and the performance
is decidedly worse. Better to work through the bug, Ubuntu is more up to date.

Error installing this graphics driver during upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10

[Etienne URBAH (eurbah)]

This bug is still there with Linux kernel 3.16.0-34

Contrary to what Robert Dinse (nanook) wrote on 2015-03-28 in comment #244, recent 'nouveau' drivers DO SUPPORT accelerated graphics : http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/

And Nvidia DOES continue to provide some support to open source developers : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTg1OTA

[Robert Dinse (nanook)]

      Perhaps for some video cards, there are certainly no accelerated graphics
with my old 7300 GT and it is PAINFUL, just a screen scroll is ugly.

[nandes (nandodesimon)]

the present working nvidia driver works fine. Please dont' send error messages on this matter.

[Arnau Bosch (arnau-m)]

nandes i think the last drivers avaliable in ubuntu 14.10 are 331. the
version 340 is not included in the distribution, only in vivid.

You might have meant to say 14.04. Which is still supported till March 1019. That's a very long time for Canonical to claim to be supporting something that's so broken...

[Robert Dinse (nanook)]

      Honestly, as broken as it is, it is less broken than just about every
other distribution of Linux I'm using including Debian, Mint, Centos 6/7,
Scientific Linux 6/7, Fedora, and OpenSuse.

[Alexander (sturmlocke86)]

I just wanted to say that even though I have commented on this issue before, I think it's crazy that this has yet to be fixed. It's nice to see that Nvidia drivers 340's and higher got a fix for it, but on Ubuntu 14.04.2 & Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.2 & 14.10, using the default Nvidia 331 drivers provided by Ubuntu, this is still an issue. It just happend to me again. Having to manually reinstall the Nvidia drivers after a kernel update not only limits productivity, but it's also driving me crazy.

If it's not possible to update and implement the fix for the older 331.x drivers, then please update the official Ubuntu repos with the newest 340.x + drivers.

Thank you.

Alex

[Eric_DL (edelare)]

First of all, it's really sad that this bug is more than one year old, with thousands of people affected (including on LTS releases), and we still don't see any official Canonical communication AFAIK !

It's also a mystery why this bug can apparently take so many different forms. In my case, I do get the DKMS error messages during kernel update :

#####
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 3.13.0-49-lowlatency /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-49-lowlatency
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.13.0-49-lowlatency (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331/331.113/build/make.log for more information.
...
Error! Problems with depmod detected. Automatically uninstalling this module.
DKMS: Install Failed (depmod problems). Module rolled back to built state.
#####

But when I check inside /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-331, the nvidia module seems to have been compiled anyway (module file is different from that of previous kernel version). Plus, it's precisely that last compiled module that gets copied to /lib/modules and loaded at boot ... and my machine has always been able to reboot without problem since those compilation errors started occurring.

However, I wanted to write here because I see most people blaming NVidia, but I'm not sure they're alone on this.

I have done some research in my machine's logs and the chronology of events looks like this :

[2014-08-01] fresh install of 14.04 LTS with kernel 3.13.0-24 + NVidia 331.38
[2014-12-15] kernel 3.13.0-43 brings update from NVidia 331.38 to 331.113 + 331.113-uvm (both modules got built by DKMS for kernel 3.13.0-43 and former 3.13.0-40, without error)
[2015-01-16] first DKMS compilation error occurs when updating to kernel 3.13.0-44 ... and has systematically occurred at each kernel update since then.

In short, it's not NVidia's module update that first triggered the error, it's a kernel update !

Anyway, let's hope for the best. I saw last month that NVidia 346 branch had been fixed, and today, that also is branch 340. I guess Canonical is now working hard with NVidia to back-port fix down to branch 331.

Many thanks to you guys :-)

[Matthew Lenz (matthew-nocturnal)]

With the most recent kernel update the reconfigure trick has stopped working for me. I just moved to the xorg-edgers ppa to fix the problem. Found some instructions people can follow.

http://ubuntuguide.net/install-nvidia-proprietary-drivers-in-ubuntu-14-04

You should be safe going to 340 but you can check:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

and go to 340 for your arch (x86 or x86_64) and click on supported products. Look for your card. If it isn't supported go down a legacy version and check the next one. Edgers has support for back to 304.

[Bryce Nesbitt (bryce2)]

Also had to delete .config/monitors.xml to get my system working again. Not smooth.

[Danieljf1983 (danieljf1983)]

Also busy doing backup of data. Tired of Canonicals lack of assistance and
response... 2 releases later (14.10 and 15.04) and we are still having the
same problem....

Not impressed.... Good buy Ubuntu! Soon!

[Erik Krom (e-m-krom)]

Yesterday it did get my attention that the package "linux-generic" wasn't installed anymore on my desktop and my kernel was was lagging a few updates behind.
Installing the "linux-generic" package it didn't give any problems. Also the new kernel that did came along with it was installed without any errors.

The kernel update of today was also preformed without any problem.

So for me the problem seems to be solved with reinstalling the "linux-generic" package:

$ sudo apt-get install linux-generic

[Grzegorz Śliwiński (fizyk)]

@Erik Krom, specific kernel release updates are fine (like todays one3.16.0.34.x -> 3.16.0.34.y) problem occurs, when the new version is being installed. ie. 3.16.0.33 -> 3.16.0.34

[Richard Hansen (rhansen)]

reverting recent erroneous change

[Pablo Piaggio (papibe)]

Another update, same error.

Is there any time frame for a fix (331)?

Thanks in advance.

[stephen (stephen-puttick)]

Is there some debug version I could install which would produce more useful information to help with issue?

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

@stephen (stephen-puttick) : I don't think that's needed; it is my understanding from lp:1431753 that this bug is already fully characterized, and fixed for the 340 and 346 drivers in Utopic and Vivid. Furthermore, the fact that the fix appears to be performed at the level of the metadata strongly suggests that it would be absolutely trivial to apply the same fix to the 331 drivers in (un)Trust(worth)y.

Canonical might have their reasons for not "backporting" the fix to their LTS release, but as long as the only noise we get from them is crickets chirping, it is hardly surprising that the community is starting to ask questions about their motives and/or professionalism...

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

The fact that there are so many accidental edits to the status of this bug seems to indicate it's getting large numbers of views. Canonical, your LTS user base is bleeding. For pity's sake, make it stop.

Talking about accidental edits, can someone please, please set the status for "NVIDIA Drivers Ubuntu" back to "Confirmed"? See my message #259 ...

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

Oh come on, this is completely wrong! This bug is *NOT * fixed for the 331 driver (and also not for "NVIDIA Drivers Ubuntu" because 331 is the most recent driver available in 14.04 LTS (Trusty)). Why doesn't launchpad allow to correct this mistake by setting it back the "Confirmed"??? If the devs are under the mistaken impression it is fixed, it will never get their attention. What does it take to rectify this? Opening yet another new bug and marking this one as a duplicate?

[Paul Judd (sukiipooru)]

I scrubbed my inoperable ubuntu and put on Qubes based on Fedora. No screen
driver issues at all. Ubuntu has lost me as a base system [ especially
since gnome compatability is being ignored ].

Hello and excuse me for the dead time ... I rarely check this mail address.

The issue is fixed since a very long time.

I upgrade my computer to 15.04 without any problem yesterday !

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

@ Sébastien BOUISSET (sbouisset): your're using the non-LTS branch of Ubuntu. I've been repeating ad nauseam during the last few weeks that the issue is NOT FIXED in the LTS branch, which uses the 331 driver, and is popular with professional users.

[Marc Saric (marc-saric)]

Can we please backport this to 14.04 LTS, this is extremely annoying.

[teo1978 (teo8976)]

WHY the hell is this marked as fixed in all packages??

I have Ubuntu 14.04 and the issue is NOT fixed.
Every now and then, while getting automatic updates, something nvidia-related crashes.
I don't know if it is when the kernel is updated, or what.

14.04 is LTS, which means that if it has been fixed for more recent ubuntu versions, the fix MUST be backported, no matter how. Until then this cannot be considered fixed.

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

This is my current Hanlon-compliant(*) theory as to why the fix is not backported:
- Anyone looking up this bug will land at the top of the page, where the status is displayed. A small percentage will make random changes to the status by lack of attention or understanding.
- This bug report is visited by huge numbers of people, so even though the percentage of "inattentives" is small, we're seeing lots of random status changes in its activity log.
- The problem is that some status changes are irrevocable. Specifically, shortly after the fix was released for the 340 and 346 drivers, people mistakenly changed the status for the 331 drivers and the bug as a whole to "fix released". This made it fall off the devs' radar, and there doesn't seem to be a way to roll back the status. In my opinion, this is stupid and should be filed as a bug against Launchpad itself.

My current plan to work around this problem is to mark this bug ( lp:1268257 ) a duplicate of lp:1431753 , which
- has the status set correctly, including a target for "Trusty",
- has a more knowledgeable description of the root cause of the problem and how to fix it,
- is frequented by people who can actually fix it,
- suffers from a low "bug heat", which will change dramatically if my plan succeeds,
- does not suffer from random status changes.
However, a new problem surfaced: trying to set the dupe in Launchpad invariably gives a timeout error (Error ID: OOPS-f524378385a3a281890972cc17c96962 OOPS-bb927226a672db21659a9f400adc4757 etc...) I speculate this is due to the huge size of this bug in terms of followers, duplicates, people affected and comments. Whatever be the cause, it's yet another bug to be filed against Launchpad itself.

Needless to say, I'm getting deeply disillusioned with Ubuntu, Canonical and its bug fixing process...

(*) My alternative theories that are not compliant with Hanlon's razor are probably not appropriate for this venue. :-P

Why not? Perhaps that way, some of the idiots who changed the status to Fix Released and unsubscribed themselves, may randomly stumble upon it and realize.

Just an observation; I use Radeon and have never had issues with
Xubuntu, although I did once have an Nvidia card, an old 880GTX and it
gave me headaches. Now I have a great radeon card Xubuntu dances and
sings like a canary ;)

      I don't use the 331 drivers I use 307, but for my card at least, the
Novoue driver won't set to higher resolutions such as 1680x1050, and scrolling
is beyond painful. Some cards might be better supported, I've got an old 7300
GT on this box. I've had to re-install the driver using the shell script
provided by Nvidia since I upgraded to 14.10, and it won't work with any
kernels newer than 3.18.9 so can't play with the 4.0 kernels. But I kind of
figured if I want to use antique hardware and do things outside of the box, I
can't expect support so haven't bothered to bitch about it. I'm using an
old Mac Pro 1,1, Ubuntu is the ONLY Linux distribution that had a bootloader
hacked to allow a 64-bit kernel to load on a machine with a 32-bit bios
(don't ask me what Mac was thinking when they made this thing). I'm grateful
that it works at all.

How come this is listed as bug fix released, when bug is still affecting systems?
Not resolved, STILL.

[Peter Varlien (pvarlien)]

I just applied the latest updates to 14.04, and this error still occurs. So the 331-updates variant is still broken.

[Michael (amemain)]

I had and still have a Partial Upgrade available to my 12.04 to 14.04 system. I did not so the P-Upgrade and rebooted for other reasons. Upon return to my Ubuntu login the screen was shrunk and it would not let me log in resulting in a login loop of returning me back to the login password prompt. Solution was to 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' as suggested when I tried to sudo apt-get update, which cleaned things up, returned my login back to normal and allowed me to login. Something is really broke here causing big issues.

@Bill Turner, wb4alm (wb4alm): FYI, "Triaged" means that a bug supervisor has determined that the bug report contains all necessary information to start working on it. This is in my opinion the (only) correct status for nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 and nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (note that some of the necessary information is in lp:1431753 ).

Hi,
Just to said: Using the same Lenovo S410p laptop with Nvidia GeForce GT720M in 14.04 with v 331 I have the problem showed here, I just make a clean new installation of 15.04, its come with driver v.340.76 installed from synaptic and its works very fine no issues, Im still waiting for a kernel update and see what happen...

[AzureRaptor (xrg-ubuntunineteen-10-spamviking)]

14.04 / 331 / GTX 460 here

Still broken. _Really_ disappointing this trainwreck has gone on for this long... Has Ubuntu changed the definition of LTS to mean something other than Long Term Support? :\

[lidex (mh40)]

Had a kernel update today. Same errors but i thought i'd try a variation on one of the workarounds. After the update I did NOT reboot and went into synaptic and selected nvidia 331 updates as well as uvm updates and selected re-install. After completion I
rebooted and all was well. The easiest fix for me yet.

[DEVDUTT BARESARY (devinception)]

Plz change

[Pablo Piaggio (papibe)]

Another update, another error.

[Jim (geekmonk-p)]

This will not build on my system still.

[Kenan Gutić (kenan-gutic)]

I updated Ubuntu 2-3 times since this bug was marked as solved and yet every time I got this error. Then I reboot and do dpkg-reconfigure in terminal. I guess then all get back to normal, but I do not know. I am fresh Linux user.
Did I miss something, do I need to update graphic driver on some other way beside Software Updater or...?

I started to postpone updates since this is very anoying.
Regards!

[Tom Peterson (happilylinux)]

Is there actually a fix for this issue? This problem has been going on for well over a year now, and the stated solution ("for many people") below, does not seem to work for my own situation/system, as described. This information also appears to be quite dated.

I would like to resolve this issue on my own system because the problem seems to disrupt the systems ability to run the software that I have created this partition and its associated Operating System to run. This system I intend to use strictly for recording audio music (in what has been coined as a "Digital Audio Workstation").

sigh!

[mat (drmtiede-k)]

It's higly annoying, half a year and the error still popps up every update. I'll revert to Ubuntu 12, Ubuntu 14 has become a mayor delusion - slow, constant updates with rebbot, like or worse than Windows.

[Louis Frank Sasso (sassofamily)]

Still failed to install

[AzureRaptor (xrg-ubuntunineteen-10-spamviking)]

This is most certainly _NOT_ fixed for 331. That status needs to be changed!

[Ben64 (ben64)]

This needs to be fixed.

[Jake Reay (jakereay)]

This seems to fix it (at least for one version upgrade) for many people

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331

after that...

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Command prompt returned with: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: nvidia-331 is broken or not fully installed

[Nick (soapduk)]

Trying that I got the following:

dpkg-query: package 'nvidia-331' is not installed and no information is available
dpkg-query: package 'nvidia-331-uvm' is not installed and no information is available

[Bill Turner, wb4alm (wb4alm)]

Since the fix is known, why not apply it to nvidia-331 and be done with this foolishness?

[Darek (darekx2)]

No error but did It's work or not ?

How can i check this ?

Same as Darek (darekx2) I got no errors when running the proposed fix.

But then after I try:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/nvidia-331 /usr/lib/nvidia-331/bin/nvidia-smi

I get :

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

(It used to work before this bug)

[Adam Koczur (sbv)]

For those of you chaps and chapesse who can't wait for Canonical to fix this, you can try out my PPA where I've just published nvidia-331 and nvidia-331-updates that should build against linux kernel 3.19 flawlessly. The packages come with absolutely no warranty, you have been warned ;)

[Adam Koczur (sbv)]

https://launchpad.net/~sbv/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia-backports/

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

@Adam Koczur (sbv): nice, that is a step in the right direction! However, I have to point out that pretty much everyone who is affected by this bug is running the 3.13 kernel that comes with Trusty; those who are running newer (non-LTS) kernels all have newer nvidia drivers (except the ones with legacy graphic cards, but that's a minority; nvidia's legacy support goes quite a way back...)

So, do you think it would be safe to test your ppa with the 3.13 kernel, or is that not expected to work?

[Grzegorz Śliwiński (fizyk)]

KennoVO, 3.16 from both trusty 14.04.2 and utopic is also affected. And
there's also only nvidia 331 available.

Yeap, it builds fine on my machine:
$ sudo dkms build -m nvidia-331 -v 331.113 -k 3.13.0-53-generic

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Building module:

cleaning build area....

DKMS: build completed.

And btw, I guess I made a stupid mistake for which I do apologize - chose wrong LP bug report. My original issue was related to the fact that nvidia 331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4 fails to build against the upcoming (already present in -proposed) linux-image-generic-lts-vivid kernel, which is 3.19. This bug is about nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu3 which, as far as I am aware, can be easily upgraded to the official 331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4 by enabling trusty-updates repo and it builds against 3.13 just fine:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted

[Robert Dinse (nanook)]

      Nvidia-304 also will not build against 3.19.x, when I upgraded to
Ubunto 15.04, no more graphical desktop. I built a 3.18.9 kernel from
kernel.org to get around this problem but would really be nice to have the
drivers work with the stock 3.19.x kernel and later 4.0 kernels.

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

@Adam Koczur (sbv): you do indeed appear to have the wrong bug report; the bug we're (effectively) talking about *here* is also triggered by 331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4 from nvidia-331-updates (it's what I'm running) and is described more accurately at lp:1431753 . In case you wonder why the heck this is not a duplicate, see lp:1450251 . I don't know whether I have to laugh or cry.

@Robert Dinse (nanook): you probably should take the 3.19 discussion to the relevant LP bug report - @Adam Koczur (sbv), can you please povide an "lp:" link? There is far too much offtopic talk on this one as it is already.

[kl1234 (kl1234)]

It is not fixed yet. LTS???

[Pablo72256 (pablo93-tec)]

no funciona correctamente el controlador

[H_M_Murdock_EST (okinawa)]

Still not fixed... very annoying

[Darek (darekx2)]

Package nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 (Ubuntu) is still no fixed. After update i have still this same error

[libuntu (libuntu)]

the bug is solved installing nvidia-modprobe

[Luc Bruninx (luc2005)]

No, I'm sorry, but installing nvidia-modprobe don't solve the bug.

When nvidia-modprobe is already installed, any update of the kernel produce the bug.

You can use this simple workaround in a terminal after upgrading the kernel, but before reboot your computer:

$> sudo apt-get reinstall nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm

[Bill Turner, wb4alm (wb4alm)]

While I am only 1 of 2593 people affected by this bug, (and other problems such as screen/system hangs caused by the driver) I have decided to replace my NVIDIA Display card with an older model NVIDA graphics adapter, and have regressed the nvidia-graphics-driver to the 304 version.

In the past two weeks I have had ZERO problems, and in the past, I have had as many as three-four screen/system hangs EACH DAY.

After posting this comment, I will be unsubscribing to this particular bug, and will be researching other variations of LINUX since UBUNTU is no longer really supporting their LTS model.

I wish you all good luck!

[Michael (amemain)]

Whatever update came out today, caused all kinds of graphics corruption on reboot resulting in a corrupted loading screen after the login. After some minutes it recovered on it's own. I'm on a 12.04 to 14.04 upgraded sys.

[Joseph Ledesma (ledesmajoe)]

Yes, I realize this bug has many subscribers.

As of the recent kernel update (3.13.0-53), the dpkg-reconfigure operations, listed at the beginning of the bug description, no longer fixed it temporarily.

Thank you to Luc Bruninx yesterday (comment above) for an alternative fix, however, the command in the bug comment had a syntax error in the apt-get options. Here it is without the error:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm

I also edited the bug description to add this command if the dpkg-reconfigure operations did not work.

[Stefano-s (stefano-s)]

Is this true also for nvidia-331-updates and nvidia-331-updates-uvm ?

Ubuntu 14.04 just threw a fit after a software update.

nvidia issue of some sort.

I've given up reporting it with Apport now - every time it just says something about the bug already being know about.

That's been useful for the last year.

All 3 commands do not help with me - they just extend the delay between freezes from 3-5min to 20min.

This is really nasty since every hard reboot deletes my SoftRAID and triggers a time-consuming resync in case the machine comes up again.

[Pablo (pabloa98)]

I join to the people recommending this: Obviously Ubuntu cannot provide serious support to LTS release. So consider alternatives:
a) Move to other Ubuntu release.
b) Move to Mint (they have ubuntu and debian based versions)
c) Install SteamOS (the option I picked).

I had the same problem with Mandriva a long time ago. It was a signal of the company creating more drama than benefits. I waited one year for a real solution. I am done.

[Darek (darekx2)]

Sorry Ubuntu, time to go to another Linux distro. I don't know why you name it lts. Bug still exist.

[Stefano-s (stefano-s)]

piervittorio non per me. Not for me. the latest kernel upgrade failed again

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

No, this is *not* fixed for 331 and 331-updates; in fact, nothing has changed. The "fix released" status presumably was set by yet another inattentive user who landed onto this Launchpad page after getting a whoopsie error. Unfortunately, the status cannot easily be reverted to "triaged" because of what I feel is a shortcoming in Launchpad.

There is some good news, though: Alberto Milone over at lp:1431753 (which describes the actual *source* of the problem) hinted at intending to provide a fix for 14.04. Unfortunately, he hasn't provided any updates, details or time frame in the last 3 weeks. So, those of you who have not become completely embittered by Canonical's unforgivable lack of attention to this atrocious bug in their "Less Than Stellar" (LTS) line, PLEASE head over to lp:1431753 and politely draw their attention to the fact that a massive number of users are very badly affected.

[teo1978 (teo8976)]

FOR GOD'S SAKE ANYBODY WITH ENOUGH PRIVILEGES CORRECT THE STATUS OF THIS BUG.

IT IS NOT FIXED

[teo1978 (teo8976)]

Ok, now I get why random people often assigned and unassigned themselves. Probably for the same reason I just did: to try if that would allow me to change the "fix released" status. It doesn't.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Reverted spurious status changes set by some community members.

Indeed, the 331 drivers still are seeing duplicates of this bug reported regularly.

[Darren Roberts (darrenllr)]

I just installed Mint on mine & my wife's laptops.

There seems to have been some issue with ubuntu & nvidia cards for over a year, I just couldn't be arsed anymore.

Although Mint seems to be based on ubuntu from what I can make out (I grabbed 17.1 I think), no problems so far, and very happy with it.

Not sure what's happening, as Mint seems to be using the same proprietary hardware drivers as ubuntu (304... and 331...) - I'm not really linux savvy though, and might have missed something.

[Tero Kankaanperä (terokankaanpera)]

Is this fucking problem ever going to be fixed?!

[TJ (tj)]

I've published a possibly fixed package for Trusty to my PPA at:

https://launchpad.net/~tj/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia

Please test and report back if that fixes the issue. If it does I can attach the fixed branch to bug #1431753 where the other release fixes are being tracked.

[Sezer Yalcin (sy-y)]

I keep getting this error for last 6 months. Still not resolved.
Also I have GTX 770M and would be happy to switch to 346 build but it's not out there for 14.04

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Indeed Canonical has opened a new bug for the common underlying issue; --> bug 1431753

That should resolve this bug and others.

[Nima (nima-slt)]

I want to go to another linux distribution ,
Can any body give me a hint about it?
CentOS or Opensuse? Which one is better?
which one has a full resource of software like ,for example "ubuntu
software center"?
Thanks for any help in advance

The PPA fix at https://launchpad.net/~tj/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia worked for my 14.04 LTS release. (Update versions installed.)

[raj (rajojo6)]

I hav a switch-able graphic driver nvidia and intel...
when i select nvidia and perform the update no error or bug is found. Bug only exist when i use intel graphic card and do the update

[Hassan Williamson (hazrpg)]

I created a script to run the common fixes for this problem. All you have to do is run by passing either 1, 2, or 3; e.g fix-nvidia.sh 1

#!/bin/bash
# Fix for bug #1268257.
# See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1268257
if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
  if [ $1 -eq 1 ]; then
    echo "Running fix 1 (reconfigure)."
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331 && sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm
  fi

  if [ $1 -eq 2 ]; then
    echo "Running fix 2 (reinstall)."
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm
  fi

  if [ $1 -eq 3 ]; then
    echo "Running fix 1 and 2 (reconfigure and reinstall)."
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331 && sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331-uvm
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm
  fi
else
  if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Please pick if you would like to run:"
    echo " 1 : fix 1 (reconfigure)"
    echo " 2 : fix 2 (reinstall)"
    echo " 3 : fix 1 & 2 (reconfigure and reinstall)"
  fi
fi

[Laurent Dufour (ldufour)]

Could we expect that this bug will get fixed on time on the current LTS release ?

[Nick (soapduk)]

Thanks for the script Hassan. I ran it and it garbled the graphics on my system so I had to reinstall Nvidia. Good if it works for some people though. I guess I will try the PPA fix next.

[KennoVO (kenno-xs4all)]

For anyone who didn't get the message, fixed versions of the the 440 driver (with legacy GPU support) and the 446 driver (which only supports relatively recent GPUs) are now available in the official trusty-proposed repository. A few people (including me) have reported trying them with the 3.13 kernel and getting encouraging results. So, for those of you who cannot wait to have a fix up and running, try trusty-proposed ; for the rest, it looks like the long wait for a fix in the "default distribution" is almost over.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Complaints have stopped, mainly due to 331 being deprecated and replaced by the fixed 340 and up versions.
So its time to set the 'invalid' flag
