Please stop this banter, clogging my emails up.

I sorted my PCs and laptops out with the following fix for now.  Not had
ANY issues since doing below:

Card driver
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk

nVidia

Boot and after GRUB…
Control+ALT+F1
Sudo su
sudo update-pciids
sudo lspci -v -s 01:00.0


Sudo service lightdm stop (stopping lightdm)
sudo apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove (a little cleaning)
sudo apt-get update && apt-get install –f  (update source and fix)
sudo apt-get purge libvdpau-va-gl1 bumblebee* nvidia*
OR
dpkg -l | grep nvidia
	lists everything installed for nvidia
then remove everything except
		nvidia-cg-toolkit (if it or equivellent exists)
		nvidia-common
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-xxxx (where xxxx is anything from the list)

sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-common (should return a message does not exist)
sudo apt-get install nvidia-352 nvidia-settings nvidia-prime nvidia-current nvidia-cg-toolkit nvidia-common
OR
Sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-xxx-updates-uvm     (install nvidia-xxx where xxx is driver version: 304, 331, 340, 349, 352 or current)

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get apt-get upgrade && update && apt-get install –f
sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf
sudo ldconfig -n
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo shutdown –r now


Let the devs get on and do perm fix in the meantime.

Bug description:
  Filing this against the 340-updates version but possibly the same
  applies to older versions, too. The nvidia source package produces two
  individual dkms packages: nvidia-340-updates, nvidia-340-updates-uvm.
  The problem is that the DKMS build of the nvidia-uvm module runs
  compile steps inside the nvidia modules build directory. This is
  violating the DKMS assumption that each module can be build
  independently (there is no way of describing cross-modules
  dependencies and even more important, the autoinstall step after a new
  kernel is installed will run the modules build in parallel).

  Since nvidia and nvidia-uvm are very dependent on each other the right
  course of action seems to be to combine both sources in one DKMS
  module that produces two kernel modules (this is supported by DKMS).
  For the transition this resulting dkms package needs to have a
  breaks/replaces for the nvidia-uvm package.
