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-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) by an insufficient compiler!
