Cannot install 340.96 on Fedora 23 4.6.

Since the update to kernel 4.6, I cannot get the driver to load. When I try to run the NVIDIA installer, it ends with these errors.

Right now, I am dead in the water, I have no graphics for my main computer. Kindly help.

blablo - I downloaded this patch, but when I tried to apply it, I get the following:

root@KD1YV3 nVidia]# ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96.run --apply-patch nvidia.patch
Verifying archive integrity… OK

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

|— a/kernel/os-mlock.c

+++ b/kernel/os-mlock.c

I also tried unpacking the file with -x then rerunning the install with --apply-patch, but resutls are the same.

Thanks

Good luck

The patch worked as you stated. However, when I try to install the driver, I still get the same error:
