Hi developers,
thanks for your great work on porting legacy drivers to Ubuntu.
Anyway I have to complain in not seeing Nvidia 340.108 driver for
kernels 5.5 and 5.6 yet, leaving users stuck on kernel 5.4,
because Nvidia 340.108 fails to install with kernels 5.5 and 5.6.
Archlinux already has a driver for Kernel 5.6 via AUR
(https:/
one for kernel 5.5.
So, the question is: when will we see a new version in repositories?
Bye and have a nice day.

Hi,
Using the patches in the aur repository, I prepared a PPA repository for the nvidia-340. If wish you can install nvidia-340 package (supported for kernel 5.5, 5.6 series) from PPA. You can add PPA with following command.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelebek333/ nvidia- legacy
