The problem seems to be due to uefi secure boot option now checking also the keys of modules, which the nvidia driver obviously does not provide. Disabling secure boot solved the problem for me, but completely disabling it just because there is no signature for the nvidia driver seems to be a really bad option! Shouldn't there be an option to install signatures for third party drivers, that are supported (nvidia, virtualbox etc)? I think this bug rather affects the package 'shim'...

I used nvidia-361 for a while with no issues (and i need it for steam gaming). However, an update installed on my machine yesterday breaks the nvidia drivers. I tried purging the driver, rebooting and reinstalling and i tried a newer version for the ubuntu-drivers ppa. Nothing helps: With the nvidia driver installed, i get a low- resolution login screen, but cannot login due to missing 3d acceleration. Running on nouveau works fine. This seems very strange to since everything worked until this afternoon. Yesterday, i was happily playing games on steam, installed some updates and now, my graphics are broken. $ lspci | grep NVIDIA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750] (rev a2) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fbc (rev a1) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Mon Apr 25 17:45:12 2016 DistUpgraded: 2016-03-11 21:34:38,175 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: xenial DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bbswitch, 0.8, 4.4.0-21-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.18, 4.4.0-18-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.18, 4.4.0-21-generic, x86_64: installed EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750] [10de:1381] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Palit Microsystems Inc.
