[10:45] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, critters and everything else
[12:52] <icey> ahoy
[13:03] <L3gacy> hoy hoy
[22:12] <user2> can anyone here help me with a nvidia driver issue?
[22:13] <jthan> Mayyybe. We can cetainly try!
[22:14] <jthan> Tell us about your nvidia driver issue.
[22:14] <user2> awesome
[22:15] <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
[22:16] <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
[22:17] <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
[22:18] <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?
[22:19] <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
[22:20] <jthan> or you can cat them and copy/paste into your web browser

[22:21] <user2> ah fuck spam filters
[22:21] <user2> ok that one should be up
[22:22] <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.

[22:23] <user2> hmm
[22:25]  * jthan reading up on this a bit 
[22:30] <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
[22:37] <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
[22:46] <jthan> how about dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[22:46] <jthan> does that spit anything out?
[22:48] <user2> it doesn't seem to
[22:48] <user2> yeah, nothing
[22:48] <jthan> that means an nvidia package isn't actually installed.
[22:49] <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?
[22:50] <jthan> I'm not sure, because I don't know much about Ubuntu package management.
[23:10] <ssweeny> user2: it should be installed when you select the driver
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <user2> black screen on boot, no boot progress
[23:24] <ssweeny> user2: have you tried that ubuntu-drivers command?
[23:26] <user2> im working on getting a fresh install up, since the 367 driver made my last installation break
[23:27] <user2> its going to be a while
