| user2 | can anyone here help me with a nvidia driver issue? | 22:12 |
| jthan | Mayyybe. We can cetainly try! | 22:13 |
| jthan | Tell us about your nvidia driver issue. | 22:14 |
| user2 | awesome | 22:14 |
| user2 | i have a fresh install of ubuntu gnome 16.04, just finished running updates | 22:15 |
| user2 | I have an nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 | 22:15 |
| user2 | when i go to software&updates, I see nvidia 367.57 listed, but when I select it and reboot I get a blank screen or boot hang i'm not quite sure | 22:16 |
| user2 | and this 367.57 is definitely compatible with my card | 22:16 |
| user2 | and I have no 'secure boot' option selected in bios, I just checked | 22:16 |
| jthan | okay, are you pretty familiar with the terminal? | 22:17 |
| user2 | decently | 22:17 |
| jthan | And pastebin? | 22:17 |
| user2 | i can figure pastebin out | 22:17 |
| user2 | yeah ok im set up on pastebin | 22:18 |
| jthan | Sweet. Could you pastebin the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xog.1.log? | 22:18 |
| user2 | just type that in the terminal | 22:19 |
| user2 | ? | 22:19 |
| jthan | Well, if you want to install pastebinit you could do that first: sudo apt install pastebinit | 22:19 |
| jthan | and then cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit | 22:19 |
| user2 | oh cat | 22:19 |
| user2 | ok | 22:19 |
| jthan | and cat /var/log/Xorg.1.log | pastebinit | 22:19 |
| jthan | or you can cat them and copy/paste into your web browser | 22:20 |
| user2 | pastebin.com/nWgDL6TL | 22:21 |
| user2 | www.pastebin.com/nWgDL6TL | 22:21 |
| user2 | ah fuck spam filters | 22:21 |
| user2 | ok that one should be up | 22:21 |
| jthan | So, seeing in there | 22:22 |
| jthan | [ 135.319] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" | 22:22 |
| jthan | [ 135.319] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia | 22:22 |
| jthan | [ 135.319] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" | 22:22 |
| jthan | [ 135.319] (II) Unloading nvidia | 22:22 |
| jthan | [ 135.319] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) | 22:22 |
| jthan | [ 135.319] (II) LoadModule: "nouveau" | 22:22 |
| jthan | Looks like maybe you've got the nvidia package installed but haven't loaded the kernel module / it isn't actually accessible | 22:22 |
| jthan | and I bet that's (at least part of) your problem. | 22:22 |
| user2 | www.pastebin.com/ZATXSMGH | 22:23 |
| user2 | hmm | 22:23 |
| * jthan reading up on this a bit | 22:25 | |
| jthan | Seems like this could be somewhat relevant: http://askubuntu.com/questions/289459/nvidia-drivers-installed-but-not-used | 22:30 |
| jthan | I am unfortunately NOT on Ubuntu these days or running nvidia graphics on my Linux boxen | 22:30 |
| user2 | when I run | 22:37 |
| user2 | sudo modprobe nvidia | 22:37 |
| user2 | I get, FATAL: module nvidia not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-51-generic | 22:37 |
| jthan | how about dpkg -l | grep nvidia | 22:46 |
| jthan | does that spit anything out? | 22:46 |
| user2 | it doesn't seem to | 22:48 |
| user2 | yeah, nothing | 22:48 |
| jthan | that means an nvidia package isn't actually installed. | 22:48 |
| user2 | is it supposed to be installed by default when you install ubuntu? or is it supposed to be installed when I select the driver in software&updates? | 22:49 |
| jthan | I'm not sure, because I don't know much about Ubuntu package management. | 22:50 |
| ssweeny | user2: it should be installed when you select the driver | 23:10 |
| ssweeny | user2: what's the output of "ubuntu-drivers list"? | 23:11 |
| user2 | im currently rebooting trying again with the 367 driver | 23:11 |
| user2 | but seems like im getting the same error | 23:11 |
| user2 | black screen on boot, no boot progress | 23:12 |
| ssweeny | user2: have you tried that ubuntu-drivers command? | 23:24 |
| user2 | im working on getting a fresh install up, since the 367 driver made my last installation break | 23:26 |
| user2 | its going to be a while | 23:27 |
