PS. The problem occurred because I built a ubuntu image using vmbuilder and installing linux-image-generic + ubuntu-desktop packages. I am surprised that ubuntu-desktop doesn't pre-req linux-generic? Is this something I should report as a bug?

I can confirm that installing the linux-generic package allowed the nvidia drivers, and bbswitch, to compile, but I now have another problem with the nvidia drivers. I think this is because I built the system without the linux-generic package - so I'm going back and starting again. But I confirm that your diagnosis about the bbswitch bug is correct. Thanks very much for your help and I'm sorry that I didn't notice this myself.
