Comment 80 for bug 1431753

I installed last updates on my ubuntu 14.04 and, after reboot, it starts
and remains with a black screen.. I listened the ubuntu welcome sound and
nothing appens :(

> Bug description:
> Filing this against the 340-updates version but possibly the same
> applies to older versions, too. The nvidia source package produces two
> individual dkms packages: nvidia-340-updates, nvidia-340-updates-uvm.
> The problem is that the DKMS build of the nvidia-uvm module runs
> compile steps inside the nvidia modules build directory. This is
> violating the DKMS assumption that each module can be build
> independently (there is no way of describing cross-modules
> dependencies and even more important, the autoinstall step after a new
> kernel is installed will run the modules build in parallel).
>
> Since nvidia and nvidia-uvm are very dependent on each other the right
> course of action seems to be to combine both sources in one DKMS
> module that produces two kernel modules (this is supported by DKMS).
> For the transition this resulting dkms package needs to have a
> breaks/replaces for the nvidia-uvm package.
