Could we please know when this bug is going to be fixed at last? If is not uncommon, actually quite common I would say, to have a NVIDIA graphic card and a more recent version of GCC installed than the one in the Ubuntu distribution, which is quite old. And then the machine is broke when the new kernel is installed!
All the fixes in the above risk breaking the machine irreparably. Even reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch may not work in the long run, if the bug is not fixed in the new kernel version, because one also need to use the most recent versions of GCC and thus the problem is bound to reoccur. And having to keep using kernel 112 also looks quite unsatisfactorily as a long term solution. We need the matter to be fixed once and for all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, 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) by an insufficient compiler! Status in gcc: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running fine with nvidia-384 until this kernel update came along. When booted into the new kernel, got super low resolution and nvidia- settings was missing most of its functionality - could not change resolution. Rebooted into 4.4.0-112 kernel and all was well. The root cause of the problem has been found to be installing the -116 kernel without a sufficiently updated version of gcc. In my case, my system received the gcc update AFTER the kernel update. Uninstalling the -116 kernel and reinstalling it with the updated version of gcc solved the problem for me.
