While I am only 1 of 2593 people affected by this bug, (and other problems such as screen/system hangs caused by the driver) I have decided to replace my NVIDIA Display card with an older model NVIDA graphics adapter, and have regressed the nvidia-graphics-driver to the 304 version.
In the past two weeks I have had ZERO problems, and in the past, I have had as many as three-four screen/system hangs EACH DAY. After posting this comment, I will be unsubscribing to this particular bug, and will be researching other variations of LINUX since UBUNTU is no longer really supporting their LTS model. I wish you all good luck! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1268257 Title: nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu3: nvidia-331-updates kernel module failed to build, with only error: "objdump: '... .tmp_nv.o': No such file" Status in NVIDIA Drivers Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340-updates package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-346 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-346-updates package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: **WARNING:** This bug has been widely reported and has *many* automatic subscribers.
