Title: nvidia-415 415.27-0ubuntu0~gpu16.04.1: nvidia-415 kernel module failed to build
I tried to use several different versions of Nvidia driver, but the kernel modules still failed to build. Then I found out that all the Nvidia drivers do not support 4.4.0-143 yet. I tried to uninstall the 4.4.0-143 kernel and reinstall the Nvidia driver and it worked.
Here are what I did:
- List all the packages related to 4.4.0-143.
apt list --installed | grep 4.4.0-143
- Uninstall the packages found on step 1. Note that you might not be able to uninstall linux-libc-dev package, but that’s ok.
- Reinstall the Nvidia driver
apt-get install nvidia-415
