Reinstall Nvidia driver after kernel update in ubuntu
Tags nvidia ubuntu kernel
When the kernel gets updated by ubuntu, the NVIDIA drivers aren't working anymore because the nvidia kernel module isn't build for that specific kernel.
To solve this:
open a terminal
become su
> sudo su
Check which sources of nvidia are available
> ls /usr/src
You will see the kernel sources and nvidia sources
Let's rebuild the kernel module
> dkms build -m nvidia-current -v 304.88
Install it
> dkms install -m nvidia-current -v 304.88
Do a reboot or a modprobe nvidia
> reboot
