[Bug 1547599] Re: legacy nvidia drivers fail to work with latest kernel
Also experiencing this issue, on a Sony Vaio laptop. The card is an Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT. It was working under 15.10. The latest driver in the graphics-drivers PPA, nvidia-364, does not support the video card: [ 243.591384] NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT GPU installed in this system is NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 340.xx Legacy drivers. Please NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more NVRM: information. The 364.19 NVIDIA driver will ignore NVRM: this GPU. Continuing probe... The current recommended driver in the graphics-drivers PPA, nvidia-352, also does not support the card: [ 183.787047] NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT GPU installed in this system is NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 340.xx Legacy drivers.

For some reason installing the package nvidia-352 also installs the package nvidia-361. The one option in the graphics-drivers PPA after the driver-recommended version 340 but before the PPA-recommended version 352 is 346. Installing nvidia-346 also installs nvidia-352 and nvidia-361 and so gives the same message as nvidia-352. The version those later driver versions recommend, 340, seemingly fails in some way. It apparently does load but then gives the same error mentioned in the OP. This happens both when I install that version of the driver manually, either nvidia-340 or nvidia-340-updates, using `sudo apt-get install nvidia-340` or `sudo apt-get install nvidia-340-updates`: [ 17.015956] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

[Bug 1547599] Re: legacy nvidia drivers fail to work with latest kernel
after some more digging the problems might be related to the fact that the disk partition table was left in the hybrid GPT/MBR format and thus the mac is booting in the efi mode. according to http://www.rodsbooks.com/ubuntu-efi/ this might cause limited support for nvidia graphics card and related bios rom problems. in other words, the mac is not booting in the bios compatibility mode. since ubuntu is the only operating system on the machine, i will reinstall it by wiping the disk and using a dos partition table. this should force the mac to boot into the bios mode. unfortunately, since ubuntu 16.04 desktop dvd does not boot via the optical drive, i have to use ubuntu 15.10 server cd and then do-release-upgrade since 16.04 desktop does not fit into a standard cd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547599 Title: legacy nvidia drivers fail to work with latest kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1547599/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
