[Touch-packages] [Bug 1750937] Re: 4.4.0-116 Kernel update on 2/21 breaks Nvidia drivers (on 14.04 and 16.04) due to outdated gcc-4.8

Running Xubuntu 14.04 and just upgraded to 3.13.0-144 from 3.13.0-143 and needed to re-apply the fix again. The fix I have used is to edit /usr/src/linux- headers-3.13.0-144/include/linux/vermagic.h $ cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-144/include/linux $ diff vermagic.h vermagic.h.WAS 27,28c27 <

Running Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) in VirtualBox (Windows host). After Ubuntu update got affected too - vboxdrv dkms won't install. dmesg would give: [ 260.993242] vboxdrv: version magic '4.4.0-119-generic SMP mod_unload modversions ' should be '4.4.0-119-generic SMP mod_unload modversions retpoline

Still having missing retpoline issues with vboxdrv 5.2.8 on 4.4.0-119 (14.04). Anyone worked this around? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gcc-4.8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750937 Title: 4.4

Just a follow-up note for 14.04 users that still want a source for a newer gcc-5 (with c++14 support) or gcc-6/7/8: I have purged the ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test and switched to the ppa:jonathonf/gcc per comment #86 and not had any further nvidia driver problems. -- You received this bug notific

14.04 here as well. I didn't try purging the PPA, so I don't know if that works, but what I did was the following: 1. disable the PPA (and sudo apt update) 2. Synaptic refused to apply the changes, so: $ sudo apt install gcc-4.9-base=4.9.3-0ubuntu4 lib32gcc1=1:4.9.3-0ubuntu4 gcc-4.9-base:i386=4.
