[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1949297] Re: nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2: nvidia-340 kernel module failed to build
Does anyone monitor this forum at all? If so, I would like to ask a question. Since this bug is clearly a result of the Nvidia driver, is there a way to revert the current kernel to use the generic graphics driver rather than the Nvidia driver? Since the GUI won't launch due to the incompatible graphics driver, is there a way to enter a command to revert the video driver outside of the GUI? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1949297 Title: nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2: nvidia-340 kernel module failed to build Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: currently using older kernel since graphic crashs on latest kernel while booting ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-63.71~20.04.1-generic 5.8.18 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-63-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.21 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip DKMSKernelVersion: 5.11.0-38-generic Date: Sun Oct 31 06:39:04 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-05-16 (167 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20210209.1) PackageVersion: 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2 Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.8, Python 3.8.10, python3-minimal, 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 PythonDetails: N/A RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.19.7ubuntu3 apt 2.0.6 SourcePackage: nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 Title: nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2: nvidia-340 kernel module failed to build UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-340/+bug/1949297/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1949297] Re: nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2: nvidia-340 kernel module failed to build
I have used Ubuntu for many years and it used to be very reliable. Now, the maintenance of Ubuntu seems to have fallen into neglect. I was tired of this problem with the Nvidia driver on Ubuntu 20.04, so I downloaded the most recent version of Ubuntu last night (20.04.3) and installed it on a new hard drive. The installation went well and Ubuntu was actually working last night, but then while I was installing the driver for my wireless adapter, an error message popped up about an error with the Nvidia graphics driver. I thought it was a fluke because the graphics were still working after the error message popped up, but now this morning when I tried to boot into Ubuntu, all I get is a randomly blinking cursor when the Nvidia graphics is supposed to launch. So now I had to pull the new hard drive out and reinstall the old hard drive and then go back to the last working Linux kernel (5.8) since 5.11 has been a complete failure. Although I wasted hours installing Ubuntu 20.04.3 last night, Ubuntu failed before I was able to begin copying data files from the old hard drive, so I can just scrap the installation of the faulty Ubuntu 20.04.3 from my hard drive. Can anyone recommend a more reliable version of Linux that is simular to Ubuntu, since it appears the developers are not going to fix 20.04.3 any time soon? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1949297 Title: nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2: nvidia-340 kernel module failed to build Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: currently using older kernel since graphic crashs on latest kernel while booting ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-63.71~20.04.1-generic 5.8.18 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-63-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.21 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip DKMSKernelVersion: 5.11.0-38-generic Date: Sun Oct 31 06:39:04 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-05-16 (167 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20210209.1) PackageVersion: 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2 Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.8, Python 3.8.10, python3-minimal, 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 PythonDetails: N/A RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.19.7ubuntu3 apt 2.0.6 SourcePackage: nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 Title: nvidia-340 340.108-0ubuntu5.20.04.2: nvidia-340 kernel module failed to build UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-340/+bug/1949297/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Is anyone ever going to come up with a fix for this? This has been going on for a long time. The only way I can launch Linux now is by using the 5.8 kernel.
