Public bug reported: As the new kernel is greater than 2.6, the dkms.conf dont accept the 3 version, so nvidia users cant use the latest kernel. But someone have found what is needed to be tweaked:
1. patch /usr/src/linux-3.0-0-generic/include/linux/rcupdate.h according to http://choon.net/forum/read.php?21,82725 2. this file /usr/src/nvidia-current-275.09.04/dkms.conf prevents build with kernels newer than 2.6, so you have to modify the line: OBSOLETE_BY=3.0.0 3. in the file /usr/src/nvidia-current-275.09.04/nv-linux.h, there's a section: #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 4, 7) # error This driver does not support 2.4 kernels older than 2.4.7! #elif LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 5, 0) # define KERNEL_2_4 #elif LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 0) # error This driver does not support 2.5 kernels! #elif LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 7, 0) # define KERNEL_2_6 #else # error BLAHBLAH #endif so you have to replace error BLAHBLAH with something like define KERNEL_2_6 so that we pretend it's a 2.6 kernel. You should then run sudo dkms build -m nvidia-current -v 275.09.04 -k 3.0-0-generic sudo dkms install -m nvidia-current -v 275.09.04 -k 3.0-0-generic ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: nvidia-current 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.39-3.10-generic-pae 2.6.39 Uname: Linux 2.6.39-3-generic-pae i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] est un dossier: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 270.41.06 Mon Apr 18 14:54:25 PDT 2011 GCC version: gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.0-11ubuntu2) Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Fri Jun 10 16:02:15 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: oneiric DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8500 GT] [10de:0421] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
