Last night I upgraded to 16.04 LTS. Upon trying to Log in I kept resetting.

Went to terminal screen an log on. If I try startx then I get little in the way of useful info.

/var/log/Xorg.2.log does not have any obvious error messages I can see.

Running X :1 -configure returns the error:

(++) Using config file : "/ome/userName/xorg.conf.new"
(++) Using the systemconfig directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg/conf.d"
Number of created screens does not match number of detected screens.

I have dual monitors installed on a Nvidia GeForce GT430. I look at /home/userName/xorg.conf.new and I can see two monitors set up.

lsmod | grep nvidia shows a Nvidia module is installed.

I've tried reinstalling binary drivers after being told:

The distribution provided pr-install script failed! Continue installation anyway?

When selecting Yes. I get the error:

The kernel header file /lib/modules/4.4.0-45- generic/build/include/linux/version.h does not exist.

Despite making sure sources are installed but sure enough versions.h does not exist in this dir.

Any ideas?

  • "version.h" doesn't exist in my /lib/modules/4.4.0-45- generic/build/include/linux/ directory either. I suspect your Nvidia installation script is outdated. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Nov 07 '16 at 09:23
  • Thanks for the confirmation. Newer driver script sorted the issue and on to new problems! The joys of updating. – Tommy Nov 07 '16 at 20:56
  • You bet. Do you want to answer your own question and mark it solved to take your question out of unanswered queue? – WinEunuuchs2Unix Nov 07 '16 at 22:45

WinEunuuch2Unix had it. Turned out I was running an old driver install script. Downloaded the latest from the nvidia website and the script ran correctly.

In the process of messing around I had also installed nouveau along the way that caused some conflicts. This needed to be uninstalled and disabled which I did as per this question.

Install Nvidia driver instead nouveau
