Yes, I realize this bug has many subscribers. As of the recent kernel update (3.13.0-53), the dpkg-reconfigure operations, listed at the beginning of the bug description, no longer fixed it temporarily.
Thank you to Luc Bruninx yesterday (comment above) for an alternative fix, however, the command in the bug comment had a syntax error in the apt-get options. Here it is without the error: $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-331 nvidia-331-uvm I also edited the bug description to add this command if the dpkg- reconfigure operations did not work. -- 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.
