I've got the Geforce GTX460. When i want to start CUDA, i get the following error: ERROR: No NVidia compatible platform found I've testet it with every driver on the Package Manager. Always the same result.
So i've downloaded the latest driver from the nvidia page and installed it by hand. After the reboot, i've just got a black screen with a blinking cursor. So i removed the newly added driver and installed "apt-get install nvidia-current".
So im stuck at the same problem.
Some troubleshooting:
lspci -v | grep -i nvidia

Which driver should i install in order to run cuda on my machine? I know that my graphiccard supports CUDA because i was running it on windows a month or two before :)
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
? sometimes it may require it. And better do this from tty terminal Ctrl+Alt+1 with stopped X.
