I’m trying to install Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 13.10 by running NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.49.run. I created a blacklist file under /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-file-drivers.conf and added nouveau to the list. Also, I ran the installation after killing my display manager (sudo service lightdm stop). I’m working with gcc 4.8. I’m getting the following error (from the installation log file): ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module ‘nvidia.ko’. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb, nvidiafb, or nouveau is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or no NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release. Can someone please explain what the problem is and how can I fix it so I can finally install the drivers? Thanks, Gil

Arch Linux

Install whatever driver you need for your card (nvidia, nvidia-173xx, nvidia-96xx) from the repo. novueau is in the kernel now, if it gets loaded by default blacklist it in rc.conf and specify nvidia in xorg.conf.

Re: Unable to load the kernel module ‘nvidia.ko’ [SOLVED]

Are you using the stock kernel? Did you reboot to the updated kernel? Did you use the installer directly from nvidia.com?

Re: Unable to load the kernel module ‘nvidia.ko’ [SOLVED]

if you used the packages from repos, the blacklist is done automatically in nvidia,

 $ pacman -Qo /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf is owned by nvidia 195.36.31-1 $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf blacklist nouveau

but i guess you just want to mess your system by using unsupported and very bad ways and you are way smarter than the devs if you used that installer

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I’ve been using the drivers straight from the nvidia website. I’ve uninstalled «nvidia’s» driver, rebooted, and installed the driver from the repos. It didn’t work, but i’ll tinker with it a bit more. I’ll report back shortly. Thanks guys.

you actually need to reboot again after installing nvidia package because nouveau is already loaded when the actually installation occurs
