I have a gtx 780 nvidia graphics card and i would like to use cuda. To do so, I need the nvidia
drivers rather than xorg server
drivers. The problem I have is that every time I install a driver from nvidia my ubuntu boots with black screen printing a message: prob failed [some numbers]
. In order to avoid reinstalling ubuntu each time I boot in recovery mode and then I just sudo purge nvidia*
and reinstall the xorg server
drivers. What i have tried so far:
sudo apt-get nvidia-304
- same with
352
nvidia driver(is the latest) - installed cuda which it automatically installs the nvidia drivers(again failed)
What can I do to make the nvidia drivers work?
