This question is not a duplicate of the question correct kernel source path There the problem was solved be installing the kernel header files. In my case the kernel header files are already installed.
Before you flag as duplicate: I believe I have read all sources to this topic and still the NVIDIA kernel module build fails with 'unable to locate kernel source'.

First run:
wget Then:
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1404_7.0-28_amd64.deb sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cuda -y After that, it should work.
