The above "---" and "---" lines show patch where to find the file to patch, it seems your working directory is /data/Nvidia-384.98 so if you delete the "nvidia-384-orig/" and "nvidia-384/" parts from the: "--- nvidia-384-orig/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c" and "+++ nvidia-384/nvidia-uvm/uvm8_va_block.c" parts in patch then it should apply, with a bit of luck.
Another option would be to unpack the NVidia blob first with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.98.run --extract-only Then apply the patch and run nvidia-installer ( in the directory with the unpacked files)
This was the first patch version I ran before posting my "I give up!" message. Got the same error msg as I mentioned earlier. @ Dave: doing what you suggested didn't work. Perhaps I misread your comment about the "---" and the "---"? I don't suppose you would be so kind as to alter that patch to what it should read in full? Anyway, will try doing it all again tomorrow before I totally "lose it" tonight :-). @ you and Markus: thank you for your help. Greatly appreciated. And a Happy New Year to you both.
