The binary drivers should get more frequent updates as some users want/need a recent kernel for some reason. So most reports are due to the lack of support for the kernels installed from outside the related ubuntu release (backport, vanilla, custom compile, ...)
It sould be usefull that all these similar reports not being declared as 'duplicate' when they are related to a different ubuntu release. That way each nvidia driver version should have there own 'duplicate' The binary drivers really needs to be less restrictive about the dependencies version and kernel support (could limit to 2, 3 kernel family, instead of the real version, like 3.15 for example) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576648 Title: package nvidia-* failed to install/upgrade: nvidia-* kernel module failed to build (Unable to determine the target kernel version.)
