Driver: Installation Failed Toolkit: Installation skipped
Firstly pay heed to the warning:
This option should not be used on systems that require a custom
X configuration, such as systems with multiple GPU vendors.
On my laptop I have an Intel HD4000 GPU and Nvidia GT650M so it could be a warning for me. Be sure of what you are installing!
As far as the error message, you have to run the installation through the console when X-Server isn't running. Reboot your machine. At the normal Ubuntu gooey (GUI) login prompt press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and the console (text based) login will appear. Enter your user ID and password.
Then type:
sudo ./cuda_8.0.44_linux.run
Then reboot by typing:
sudo reboot
Login normally at the regular GUI prompt.
If there still is a problem post comment below.

Thsi are the log files: http://pastebin.com/KLAZ4b5g and http://pastebin.com/wRJq8t51 I also had installed this Nvidia driver for Tesla K40c GPU prior to installing the CUDA 8 Toolkit.

Any guidance as what to fix?

You'reAGitForNotUsingGit over 7 yearsAlways install the Nvidia drivers though
apt-get
. Never any other way, unless you know exactly what you're doing. -
Mona Jalal over 7 yearsNvidia website has suggested to install it this way rather than apt-get!!!

WinEunuuchs2Unix over 7 years@MonaJalal As painful as it sounds, call someone at the remote machine location and ask them to type in the commands. Maybe e-mail them the commands and have them print them out.
