Well, I installed the "nvidia-modprobe" package and that seems to solve the problem. $ lsmod | grep nvi nvidia_uvm 34855 0 nvidia 10728519 41 nvidia_uvm drm 310919 3 nvidia
Definitely when the nvidia drive is installed then "nvidia-modprobe" should be automatically installed as a dependency. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361207 Title: [xorg-edgers] nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 and newer should recommend nvidia-modprobe Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: nvidia-modprobe allows non-root users to load NVIDIA kernel modules and it creates the respective device entries. This is important for CUDA users as they would otherwise have to run a workaround script to load the kernel modules and create the device entries. This is documented here: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/6_5/rel/docs/CUDA_Getting_Started_Linux.pdf -> 4.8 Verification Because of this newer nvidia-graphics-drivers packages (331 and newer) should at least recommend nvidia-modprobe. Furthermore the nvidia- modprobe is not available from xorg-edgers. Utopic includes an nvidia- modprobe package though.
