graphics - i915 Build/install Failure in LTS 16.04 - Ask Ubuntu


i have been getting failures when performing software upgrades in lts 16.04 kernel 4.4.0-45-generic. error goes "error! bad return value ... i915 ...". i915 make.log file telling me recipe "/var/lib/dkms/i915-4.3.3-4.2.0/2/build/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.o" , "/var/lib/dkms/i915-4.3.3-4.2.0/2/build" failed.

background: had installed intel graphics driver quite while ago fix issues having, per recommendation board (lightdm crash login ubuntu 15.10). i'm guessing driver i'm using dated , perhaps need update driver or maybe remove it, if ubuntu-packaged drivers have fixed original issue.

i'm not terribly savvy in ubuntu when comes drivers, i'd confirmation of issue , on how fix (shell commands nice - bash-ninja not).
