Public bug reported: Ubuntu asked me to report this and I can't seem to find the related DKMS log file none of the /var/lib/dkms log files contain an "error:".
Bug #1366686 seems like this could be a duplicate of, but I can't tell at this moment. In particular, this comment (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers-331/+bug/1366686/comments/3) may have some merit. I had been using the most up-to-date driver downloaded from the website of Nvidia for a couple of years until I finally got fed up with recompiling it on every minor kernel update and I switched to the Ubuntu-managed package about 4~5 months ago.
