在一台旧PC上安装了Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, 显卡是”微星N240GT-MD 暴雪512/D5″, 芯片是 Nvidia Geforce GT240, 需要安装显卡驱动
》 先是从nvidia官方网站根据显卡型号下载了NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.108.run 安装过程中提示: asm/kmap_types.h: No such file or directory 没有找到有效解决办法
》 google一番后尝试直接安装nvidia-340驱动
sudo apt install nvidia-340
也是安装失败, 主要的错误是: dpkg: error: version ‘-‘ has bad syntax: revision number is empty

* 有说是postinstall scripts中的一个bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1853977 第#3个回复
* 有说是nvidia-340不支持Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS 最新的内核 5.11.0-40-generic, 后来按照 (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1284266/the-installation-of-the-nvidia-display-driver-340-fails-in-kubuntu-20-10)的说法
卸载5.11.0-40-generic, 安装5.4.0-90-generic内核后解决:
sudo apt install linux-generic
sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-*-5.11.*
重启后重新安装nvidia-340：
sudo apt install -y nvidia-340
成功!!
