The bug this is a duplicate of, seems very vague, but this bug actually
demonstrated exactly what I'm experiencing:

sudo /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller start
 * Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.27-12-generic          
 *  kqemu (1.3.0~pre11)...                                               [ 
FAIL] 
 *  nvidia (177.82)...                                                   [ FAIL 
] 
 *  vboxdrv (2.0.4)...                                                   [FAIL 
] 
 *  virtualbox-ose-guest (2.0.4)...                                      [ FAIL 
] 

I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.27-11-generic to 2.6.27.11-generic. When I
attempted to build the kernel module manually with dkms, this is what
happened:

dkms build -m nvidia -v 177.82 -k 2.6.27-12-generic

Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.27-12-generic cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.27-12-generic/build or /lib/modules/2.6.27-12-generic/source.
You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.

Looking at /lib/modules/2.6.27-12-generic/source gave me this:

ls /lib/modules/2.6.27-12-generic/
initrd          modules.dep          modules.ofmap     modules.usbmap
kernel          modules.ieee1394map  modules.pcimap    updates
modules.alias   modules.inputmap     modules.seriomap  volatile
modules.ccwmap  modules.isapnpmap    modules.symbols

Question: is there a directory that exists that has the source so I can
build this manually? I used a solution from a forum the last time this
happened, only I don't exactly remember the solution. I'm sorry if I'm
wrong about this being a duplicate!
