Installing NVIDIA/CUDA drivers on Ubuntu 16.04
Well, a restart seems to have done the trick...
Now nvidia-settings
tells me that the driver version is 367.57, whereas it was saying 367.48 before.
nvidia-smi
gives :

I have a new desktop machine that has an NVIDIA Quadro M2000. I use Ubuntu 16.04, and I wanted to install the right drivers for my graphic card.
I went into "Additional drivers" and the Nouveau driver was selected. I tried to select the proprietary NVIDIA driver, but it was automatically switching back to Nouveau after 5 seconds. It said for the proprietary driver that I needed nvidia-367.
This package wasn't in the available packages in Synaptic. So I downloaded cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local.deb from here (if I'm not mistaken, it's a package that contains provides other packages but without installing them ?) :
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local.deb
Then I could do
sudo apt-get install nvidia-367
After that and a restart, I could finally select the NVIDIA driver in "Additional drivers".
When I run
nvidia-smi
, I get the error :Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch
Here is the output of a few commands :
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices

I installed
nvidia-settings
, but it's a version 367.48. I didn't want more version mismatch, so i uninstalled itBasically, my driver seems to be
v367.57
, but I don't know how to check for the library version (apart fromlibcuda1-367
which is already at367.57
).Does someone know how to fix that problem / where to check the library version that creates the mismatch / if there is a package that I didn't install ?
Btw, one thing I find strange is that
lshw
doesn't give me the name of my graphic card, I don't know if that's a sign of anything...Thank you,
