This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 -
384.111-0ubuntu0.17.10.1

---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 (384.111-0ubuntu0.17.10.1) artful; urgency=medium

  * SECURITY UPDATE:
    - CVE-2017-5753 (LP: #1741807).
  * New upstream release:
    - Added support for the following GPUs:
      o GeForce MX130
      o GeForce MX110
      o GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design
      o Quadro P500
    - Fixed a regression that prevented displays connected via some
      types of passive adapters (e.g. DMS-59 to VGA or DVI) from
      working correctly. The regression was introduced with driver
      version 384.98.
    - Fixed a bug that caused Quadro M2200 GPUs to enter the lowest
      available PowerMizer performance level when under load.
  * debian/templates/control.in:
    - Add Replaces/Conflicts/Provide for libcuda-9.0-1.
      Thanks to Graham Inggs for his contribution.

Bug description:
  SRU Request:

  [Impact]
  Deferred module build was a feature that worked with Upstart and that was never updated to work with systemd.

  [Test Case]

  1) Enter the following command to create the temporary file:
  sudo touch /tmp/do_not_build_dkms_module

  2) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new "nvidia-384"

  3) Check that DKMS didn't build the module (the "dkms status" will
  give you a clue).

  3) Restart your computer and see if the module is built correctly (you
  should be able to access the desktop session). Check that the module
  is there with the "dkms status" command.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, as, currently, the feature doesn't work at all with systemd.

  _____________
  The nvidia-graphics-drivers (https://github.com/tseliot/nvidia-graphics-drivers/tree/375-xenial) deferred DKMS feature does not work in xenial.

  With upstart, doing a touch of the /tmp/do_not_build_dkms_module file
  indicates to defer building the kernel modules, then install the
  nvidia driver packages, which creates an upstart script to build the
  modules later. Upon reboot the upstart script would then do the DKMS
  build.

  This no longer works in xenial. The code was never updated for the
  transition from upstart to systemd.
