this bug appeared on upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10 on an amd64 system and breaks Nvidia making my PC unable to log into the desktop. I have an older graphics card which requires the Nvidia 304 driver.
This patch appears to fix the bug by providing the missing symbols, could it be included into the kernel for Ubuntu 16.10? https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-nvidia/packages/nvidia-graphics- drivers-legacy-304xx/trunk/debian/module/debian/patches/disable- mtrr.patch?annotate=6439 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634802 Title: Could not insert module Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu release: 16.10 Yakkety Yak Kernel version: 4.8.0-22-generic x86_64 Package version: 304.132-0ubuntu1 The nvidia module cannot be loaded. The following errors are reported: Could not insert module Unknown symbol in module and: nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_del (err 0) nvidia: Unknown symbol mtrr_add (err 0) It looks like the buildfix_kernel_4.3.patch, which is supposed to be dealing with those calls, is not applied in this release of the package. The package was working fine with the previous fully updated Ubuntu version 16.04 prior to the upgrade to 16.10.
