Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms Version: 195.36.24-1 Severity: important Hi,
building the kernel moduel fails with the following error message: fixdep: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/195.36.24/build/.nv_gvi.o.d: No such file or directory The same message occurs when running the nvidia install script manually. The only solution for me is to run the following commands to create the relevant symlinks inside the build directory (during the run of the installer script resp. nvidia-kernel-dkms with the help of a little loop): ln -s .tmp_nv_gvi.d .nv_gvi.o.d ln -s .tmp_nv-vm.d .nv-vm.o.d ln -s .tmp_os-agp.d .os-agp.o.d ln -s .tmp_os-interface.d .os-interface.o.d ln -s .tmp_os-registry.d .os-registry.o.d ln -s .tmp_nv-i2c.d .nv-i2c.o.d ln -s .tmp_nvacpi.d .nvacpi.o.d ln -s .nvidia.mod.o.tmp .nvidia.mod.o.d Afterwards, the installation succeeds. Haven't figured out yet why the installer creates the wrong file names, but this problem also occurs a few times when searching the web.
