I am running Ubuntu Server 16.04 Xenial on my mini itx board with a Nvidia GT218-ION videocard. I installed kodi and xinit but I seem to mis the correct Nvidia drivers, nvidia-304 (current) dont work with the latest version of xinit as it seems.
Nouveau drivers gives me: List of video drivers: nouveau modesetting No devices to configure. Configuration failed. (EE) Server terminated with error (2). Closing log file.
The nvidia-367 seems to work but also installs gnome which i dont want.
I did install the nvidia driver from their website now but i got this error: [ 2922.845] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" [ 2922.846] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia [ 2922.846] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" [ 2922.846] (II) Unloading nvidia [ 2922.846] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
when i try to install nvidia-340 through the apt repo i get this: pastebin.com/YaJhq4m5 as you can see it wants to install gnome and unity packages
sudo apt purge nvidia
. Reboot. Then you should be able to install the drivers already in the official repos:sudo apt install nvidia-340
.
