Some more details to my previous comment #9... While installing the 16.10/Yakkety nvidia-340_340.96-0ubuntu6_amd64.deb did get the Nvidia driver working, as shown by the Nvidia logo before the desktop appears, there must have been something slightly amiss about the installation.
On trying to run certain programs (e.g. Steam), I got an error message mentioning libGL and swrast. Maybe some symbolic link wasn't made correctly for 16.04 when installing the 16.10 package??? glxgears did seem to work OK however. So that solution isn't perfect, but if someone more knowledgeable than me wants to give it a try, the problem could probably be easily fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573508 Title: nvidia-361 361.42-0ubuntu2: nvidia-361 kernel module failed to build [error: too many arguments to function ‘get_user_pages’] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1573508/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
