Error install nvidia-387: Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel:
Looks like the issue is cause by some shuffling of linux headers in some recent linux kernel updates.
Relevant discussion: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1028016/linux/patch-for-compiling-v384-98-modules-with-linux-v4-14-9-/
I had the exact same issue and I fixed it by applying the patch suggested by user PGNd in the discussion above.
Step by step instructions for manual edit of the nvidia src files on Ubuntu 16.04:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-387
(this will fail)sudo nano /usr/src/nvidia-387-387.26/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c
(you should replacenvidia-387-387.26
with the version you are trying to install.)- Add the line
#include <linux/sched/task_stack.h>
before the other include statements at the beginning of the file - Run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-387
to rebuild the nvidia driver - Reboot
This should work as a temporary workaround until nvidia releases a fix. I was able to install cuda-9.1 after doing this.
