I am facing both the Nvidia problem (cannot login into gnome) and the VirtualBox problem (cannot start VMs). I just tried all instructions found here (reinstalling the kernel, even reinstalling VirtualBox and DKMS modules manually) with both the official gcc and the new gcc-7 from PPA, but no luck.
As far as I can tell from "grep gcc /var/log/dpkg.log" I received no recent gcc updates on my Xenial machine recently, even after manual upgrade. Here are the gcc versions I tried $ gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.1-2ubuntu1~16.04) 5.4.1 20160904 $ gcc-7 --version gcc-7 (Ubuntu 7.2.0-1ubuntu1~16.04) 7.2.0 Is there any way to tell if they support the retpoline features? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750937 Title: 4.4.0-116 Kernel update on 2/21 breaks Nvidia drivers (on 14.04 and 16.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1750937/+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
