@matpen, I had similar problems with gcc 5.4.1 on Ubuntu 16.04. I don't think that version has been updated. My gcc 5.4.1 version was from the ubuntu-toolchain-r/test ppa. I removed that repository and "downgraded" to the official Ubuntu 16.04 gcc-5 (5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9). (See https://askubuntu.com/questions/307/how-can-ppas-be-removed)
$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test $ gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609 Then after removing and reinstalling the 4.4.0-116 kernel, modprobe gave me right answer. $ sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-4.4.0-116 linux- headers-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic linux-image- extra-4.4.0-116-generic linux-signed-image-4.4.0-116-generic $ sudo apt-get install linux-generic linux-signed-generic $ modinfo nvidia-387 -k 4.4.0-116-generic | grep vermagic vermagic: 4.4.0-116-generic SMP mod_unload modversions retpoline A reboot gave me a working system running the -116 kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, 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) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1750937/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
