I wish I could reproduce it now, but I've since returned that video card and installed an Nvidia 970 GTX -- and installing drivers with that card in place went totally smooth. It was exactly as it should have been.
I'll say this though: I tried installing those drivers many, many times across various versions of Ubuntu (16.04, 17.04, and 17.10) and even Fedora 27 and the installation process always died leaving me with an OS that had drivers. On Fedora 27, the process died at the 93% mark as opposed to the 95%, but it failed none the less. So I can't reproduce it now, but it's hit me many times before I finally submitted this issue, and for some reason it went away when I put in a non-10 series card. I've since ordered another 1070 ti from a different brand hoping this was a one off some how caused by the card :/ I'll update when the new card is in. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1740053 Title: nvidia-384 384.90-0ubuntu3.17.10.1: nvidia-384 kernel module failed to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-384/+bug/1740053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
