378.13 driver is not compatible with Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Linux 4.8 kernel based)

jihong · March 19, 2017, 12:28pm

Hi,

I used the graphics-drivers/ppa repository to install 378.13 driver on Ubuntu 16.04LTS as this version is the recommended one for GTX 1080TI. However, the driver suggestion is not shown after sudo apt update.

$ sudo ubuntu-drivers list
intel-microcode

I instead installed with

$sudo apt install nvidia-378

and stuck in a Login Loop.

The error message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log is :

Please uninstall the nouveau xorg driver. And maybe blacklist the nouveau kernel module. I wonder why Ubuntu didn’t do that for you.

jihong · March 19, 2017, 5:45pm

Hi birdie, thanks for your help. I tried as you suggested:

remove all nvidia drivers
blacklist the nouveau driver with:

blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off

update by:
sudo update-initramfs -u
reinstall nvidia-378

Unfortunately, it is still not working. Same error as before. Maybe more information:

When I do nvidia-smi, I got

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

And I checked the video card:

I wonder why nvidia-378 is not shown in my Additional Drivers panel. I don’t know if nvidia-378 driver distributed by graphics-driver/ppa supports GTX 1080TI or not. It seems there were two release of nvidia-378 on 14th Feb and 17th Feb and the first one does not include GTX 1080TI supports.

Thank you in advance.

Best,

Jihong

Update: Problem fixed by downgrading to from Ubuntu16.04.2 LTS to Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

Info: Ubuntu 16.04.2 uses linux kernel 4.8.0 which is not compatible with nvidia-378.

Since Ubuntu does not provide downloads for 16.04.1 LTS anymore since 17 Feb 2017, it may be good to have the nvidia-378 driver compatible with 4.8.0 kernel as soon as possible.

Best,

Jihong

@jihong, do you know have they updated the driver? How did you downgrade to 16.04.01?

Nvidia, can you post an update when this issue will be fixed?

Thank you,

Artem Artemev

No problems here with 16.04.2 with HWE stack and Nvidia 378.13.

@tecfreak, yeah, I have managed to install driver successfully, but it does not recognizes 1080ti,
0. 1080

should be 1080ti

I found more information on it:

...
The only caveat is the graphics card is simply identified as a NVIDIA "Graphics Device" until the next driver update to officially add support for the GTX 1080 Ti. NVIDIA will likely be issuing that point release update shortly.
...

So, let’s wait next driver release :)
