  I tried to follow the bug reporting guidelines with "ubuntu-bug nvidia-
  graphics-drivers", but it reported "Package nvidia-graphics-drivers does
  not exist".
  
  When I try to install nvidia-current, it fails:

  make[1]: Makefile: No such file or directory
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'.  Stop.
  make: *** [module] Error 2
  
  and in fact there is no file named "Makefile":
  
  # ls /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/195.36.24/build/
  conftest.sh          nvacpi.c       nv-linux.h   os-agp.h
  cpuopsys.h           nvacpitypes.h  nv-memdbg.h  os-interface.c
  dkms.conf            nv.c           nv-misc.h    os-interface.h

  Changing into that build directory and running "make -f makefile" does
  nothing. Running "make -f Makefile.nvidia" produces:
  
  
  # make -f Makefile.nvidia

  Running "make -f Makefile.kbuild" generates a lot of warnings but then runs across this error first:

  I tried googling and found dozens of similar reports but no fixes.
