I've enabled unattended-upgrades, and this morning I rebooted my machine. After the reboot, only one monitor was working. According to the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, the kernel module was absent: [ 489.570] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" [ 489.570] (II) Loading /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so [ 489.570] (II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" [ 489.570] compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0 [ 489.570] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 489.574] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your [ 489.574] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages. [ 489.574] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" [ 489.574] (II) Unloading nvidia [ 489.574] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) According to lsmod, there is no such module installed; modinfo and modprobe both report module not found. After much trial and error with google, the solution was to do the following: 1. run jockey-gtk Note: none of the proprietary drivers were enabled in Jockey's list of drivers. 2. Select the first one 'NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]' 3. Click on 'activate' This procedure took a while and eventually hung. Viewing the /var/log/jockey.log seemed to indicate the procedure had failed. 4. run 'modinfo nvidia_current' I really didn't expect this to work, but it did! 5. run 'modprobe nvidia_current' 6. restart X I haven't tried rebooting yet, as I wanted to report the information while it was still fresh in my mind. I'm not sure what package this bug should be assigned to: jockey? nvidia-current? unattended-upgrade? other?
