Title:
[xorg-edgers] Packaging issue. Nvidia drivers are not installing.
They are not coming with nvidia-xconfig or any of the usual programs
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
On the 7th or the 8th, the xorg edgers repo updated. The driver i was
using is nvidia-340. I don't exactly know how this works but it
deleted my xorg.conf file and did so on every relog and reboot. I had
had this problem a few months back but I was able to work around it by
setting the xorg.conf file to read-only, using the command sudo
'chattr +i xorg.conf'. I tried the same thing this time around but
the xorg log keeps saying that the driver doesnt exist. I'll attach
the log if i find it.
More to the point, in my last successful install, after installing the
driver, i just had to run nvidia-xconfig the for the driver to work.
This time around, none of the programs that are usually installed have
been installed, no nvidia-persistenced, no nvidia-xconfig, no nvidia-
smi. The only thing that comes is nvidia-detector.
When i force xorg to use the same xorg.conf as before, by giving it
readonly attribute so that it isnt autodeleted, xorg log says '[
17.499] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist,
0)'
I have the same problem with the rest of the rest of the nvidia
drivers i've tried including: nvidia-current, nvidia-331, nvidia-343,
nvidia-346.
