#MINT 18.1 INSTALL NVIDIA GRAPHICS DRIVER UPDATE#
This is for a fresh install of Linux Mint 17.1 (Rebecca) update completely sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgradeĪdd 'nomodeset' to the grub loader i.e. Try these, note any significant differences, and post the contents of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. In my log, Nouveau loads and unloads, then nvidia proceeds. Run less -p "nvidia|nouveau" /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
#MINT 18.1 INSTALL NVIDIA GRAPHICS DRIVER DRIVER#
The actual proprietary driver is installed to /usr/lib/nvidia-346. The module should load before even X starts (run lsmod | grep -e nvidia -e nouveau from a console). See which module(s) you have with ls -l /lib/modules/*/updates/dkms/nvidia_346.ko.

You may have several directories under /lib/modules, one for each installed kernel uname -r will tell you what you booted with. Running modinfo nvidia-346 should produce something like: filename: /lib/modules/YOUR_KERNEL_VERSION/updates/dkms/nvidia_346.koĪlias: pci:v000010DEd00000E00sv*sd*bc04sc80i00*Īlias: pci:v000010DEd00000AA3sv*sd*bc0Bsc40i00* I use the same PPA in Ubuntu with a GTX 670 you can do several things to compare to my system:īoot in Recovery Mode, then run a root shell.Įven if it installed, the module built at installation time must match the kernel version. You don't say whether the installation succeeded dpkg -l nvidia\* should tell the state of the packages and the output from apt-get install nvidia-346 should give clues if it didn't work. Reboot one more time and you are ready to go. Option "UseEditDpi" "False" Option "DPI" "96 x 96"īasically you have to add these two lines: Option "UseEditDpi" "False" Now I recommend that you edit your nf file: sudoedit /etc/X11/nf (please do a backup before) and modify the NVIDIA Device section: Section "Device" Do not worry just launch the Driver Manager application and select the 340.x version of the recently installed NVIDIA driver. At first everything will going apparently wrong because your Cinnamon will crash.

The NVIDIA drivers could be easily installed in Linux Mint 17.1 through the CUDA toolkit:ĭownload the CUDA 7.0 network installer for Ubuntu 14.04 (which Mint is based on) and install it: wget ĭpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1404_7.0-28_b I can post my /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but it's rather long.

Less -p "nvidia|nouveau" /var/log/Xorg.0.log results in The directory /usr/lib/nvidia-346 is present.
