[00:00] <EriC^^> do you think he should try the driver on the nvidia website?
[00:00] <lotuspsychje> no, he needs a cuda package
[00:00] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-cuda-toolkit
[00:00] <lotuspsychje> try this one perhaps?
[00:00] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: http://askubuntu.com/questions/451672/installing-and-testing-cuda-in-ubuntu-14-04
[00:01] <lotuspsychje> works kinda the same as an optimus card, system will use the cpu intel grafix, until nvidia-prime is installed to switch the card to nvidia
[00:03] <lotuspsychje> i dont think you can even disable the intel grafix from bios
[00:04] <EriC^^> oh
[00:05] <EriC^^> should he install nvidia-prime ?
[00:05] <lotuspsychje> no, its not an optimus card
[00:05] <lotuspsychje> so would need a cuda package
[00:05] <EriC^^> i found this though, maybe it's old though http://askubuntu.com/questions/517569/nvidia-gtx-660m-on-14-04-64-bit
[00:06] <lotuspsychje> yeah old, bumblebee project is outdated
[00:06] <lotuspsychje> bumblebee has now changes to nvidia-prime for optimus cards only
[00:06] <lotuspsychje> for cuda cards, not sure never did myself
[00:06] <lotuspsychje> but i think its that cuda toolkit
[00:07] <EriC^^> i think that's a dev toolkit though
[00:07] <EriC^^> i could be wrong, this is chinese to me :D
[00:07] <lotuspsychje> well i saw it yesterday i think, something with toolkit and nvidia
[00:07] <lotuspsychje> cant recall precisely
[00:09] <lotuspsychje> ben64 knows alot of drivers
[00:10] <lotuspsychje> maybe ask him in main, about this card?
[00:10] <EriC^^> the guy left
[00:10] <EriC^^> lol
[00:11] <lotuspsychje> oh :p
[08:36] <lordievader> Goodmorning.
[10:09] <tomp> Someone knows about the latest kernel ?
[10:18] <lordievader> tomp: What do you mean?
[10:19] <lordievader> 4.0 is available for both Vivid and Wily.
[11:59] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:06] <tomp> lordievader: Oh sorry, I forgot to mention ... / Just coming from a channel where we merely discuss 12.04 - so I'm talking about the latest kernel for 12.04 LTS
[12:10] <lordievader> tomp: Looks like 3.4: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[12:17] <tomp> lordievader: Yep, I see. But that makes me wonder why update-manager's latest installation is 3.2.0-84-generic #121-Ubuntu, what is 3.2.0-84.121	Ubuntu-3.2.0-84.121 = Mainline Kernel Version 3.2.68 ???
[12:17] <lordievader> tomp: That is because the mainline kernel ppa is not the main archive ;)
[12:19] <tomp> lordievader: So I can't get update-manager fetch the latest available ?
[12:19] <lordievader> tomp: If you add the mainline kernel ppa it wouldn't be a problem.
[12:22] <tomp> lordievader: No disarrangements coming up doing that ?
[12:24] <lordievader> Shouldn't be. Else you can just revert to your current kernel.
[12:29] <tomp> lordievader: I'm distrusting the kernel to load all needed modules since 3.2.0.80 (where I had no problems). 83 and 84 are not stable for me. So it's not a question to revert to 84 but rather go back to 80 or go forward to anything known as stable. What I'm afraid of is messing up the automatic updates of the kernel then referencing more than one source !??
[12:34] <lordievader> If you keep that kernel installed you can allways select it at boot time.
[13:08] <tomp> Related topic: As you could see I'm fishing in muddy waters with my kernel issue. I've had a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging - but that's really too many options. Has anyone a simple starting point for locating the source of strange symptoms ??
[13:27] <lordievader> Define strange symptoms...
[13:29] <tomp> Unfortunately it's only strange - in earnest ...
[13:30] <tomp> headache no1: It's not reproducible :-(
[13:31] <tomp> What I mis-remember ...
[13:32] <tomp> After 2,5h working the gnome-session was closed (by what?) an I found myself at the login ...
[13:33] <tomp> Sometimes it freezes after starting the gnome-session ...
[13:33] <tomp> Sometimes the gnome-session comes up almost normally but I'm missing e.g. network or sound ...
[13:44] <tomp> As I said: Nothing of all that up to 3.2.0-80.116	Ubuntu-3.2.0-80.116	which was Mainline Kernel Version 3.2.68 too. Does anyone know, what Ubuntu specifics were changed in 3.2.0-82.119,3.2.0-83.120,3.2.0-84.121 ?
[13:52] <lordievader> I guess you could read the changelogs.
[14:05] <tomp> That's what I' just doing. But I can't see what could cause my trouble. Ah, one thing: CPU hard lockups were appearing, too :-(
[14:05] <lordievader> Auch, those aren't nice.
[14:33] <tomp> Doesn't help anything, could read changelogs ad infinitum .... :-(
[14:34] <tomp> I'd need a starting point for my searching after the issue appeared - maybe it will not return ;-)
