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?

[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.

If this annoying and long lasting problem remains I am going to look for another Linux distribution
....LTS?

[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.

This is like a game of pass the parcel.

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

[Nigel Pegram (ndpegram)]

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
