I could not read the "compiling bla-bla-bla" part in the summery, so on a second thought it might correspond to a recently (1/2019) reported bug in nvidia driver compilation.

Hello.

It seems, that I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. During kernel update process to v4.4.0-143.169 (from '-proposed') there was an error message about some issues with 'nvidia' module etc. '/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-304/304.135/build/make.log' file contains a full build process informations. Here are some examples (I can paste it somewhere):

That's is only an example (whole build log contains about ~1500 lines). Most interesting and strange part is that I'm not using 'nvidia' or 'nouveau' module, but I still can log to system via LightDM! Why is that? Shouldn't there be some graphics issues? Here are some more informations about 'nvidia' module (NOTE: I'm logged in and using v4.4.0-143-generic ker...

[~]$ modinfo nvidia
modinfo: ERROR: Module nvidia not found.

[~]$ sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:832 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='nvidia_304'

[~]$ sudo modprobe nvidia_304
modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia_304 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-143-generic

(NOTE: dmesg(1) is empty - there is no informations about 'nvidia' issues).

[~]$ lsmod |grep nvidia
[~]$ lsmod |grep nouveau

By the way: there were some problems with graphics when monitor blacked out (there should 'light-locker' show up), because of - for example - no mouse movements or no reaction from user side and after resume colors were bright, fonts thiner etc. If it's about X.org logs, there is something like this in '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' file:

(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0

(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your

(II) Unloading nvidia
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "nouveau"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so

Now, some technical informations about versions etc.:

✗ Linux kernel: v4.4.0-143-generic
✗ Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
  Release:	16.04

✗ nvidia-304 304.135-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 
✗ nvidia-304-updates 304.135-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
✗ xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.12-1build2

✗ lspci(8) info: 00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C73 [GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i] (rev a2)

So, there is a problem with latest '-proposed' kernel and 'nvidia' module. However, everything seems to work okay: even when there is no graphics module loaded (vide no 'nvidia', no 'nouveau'). Strange.

Thanks, best regards.

Hello.

I'm sorry for writing post by post, but I forget to write, that - in my case - architecture is i386/i686. There is also one more issue: I've made a mistake during writing my post, in the last 'Makefile/make[1]' informations (see exceptions from a build log): of course, there should be "recipe for target 'module' failed".

Best regards.

Hello.

Once agains - I'm sorry for writing post by post, but there is a very interesting comment I found, while checking patches/fixes in Linux v4.4.0-143.169 version (see '1.'). This is excatly the same error, that happened when I updated kernel to the latest '-proposed' release etc. In both cases, it's about "Processing triggers for linux-image-4.4.0-143-generic" and bad return status for 'nvidia' module build.

So, maybe the whole problem with building 'nvidia' module is related with "signing: only install a signed kernel (LP: #1764794)" (see '2.')? In the last hours, two more more bug reports were created - all related with 'nvidia' module build issues etc. (see '3.', '4.'). One difference is nvidia driver version.

Thanks, best regards.
