I've got same issue on Linux Mint 18.3 x86_64 (Ubuntu 16.04 based) with nvidia-340 "340.104-0ubuntu0.16.04.1", and for me very helps debdiff patch of Seth Forshee from this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers-340/+bug/1737751. I also forced to find and add another one patch for kernel 4.14, because it is not exist anymore in current nvidia-340 sources, but mentioned in Seth patch.
So, I saw 2 ways to fix current nvidia driver for Ubuntu 16.04 v.340.104: 1) quick 1.1) use chunks from Seth patch to fix nvidia sources right in DKMS directory /usr/src/nvidia-340-340.104/ (if you got error from this topic, you already have them there), 1.2) build & install nvidia kernel module with DKMS. 2) longer, but you've got ready-to-use nvidia deb-packages. 2.1) fix nvidia source deb-packages with modified Seth's debdiff patch 2.2) rebuild nvidia deb-packages, purge original & install rebuilded ones I used second way, now I have working nvidia-340 driver with 4.15 kernel. Also, after installing rebuilded packages, nvidia module not loaded, even manually - I got error "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_340': No such device" - I forced to remove loaded module "nouveau", load "nvidia-340", then rebuild initrd image. ** Patch added: "for fixing DKMS sources" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1737750/+attachment/5171716/+files/buildfix_kernel_4.14.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1737750 Title: nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 304.137-0ubuntu2 ADT test failure with linux 4.15.0-1.2 [error: implicit declaration of function ‘init_timer’] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1737750/+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
