3) What you expected to happen
nVidia binary drivers are used
4) What happened instead
nouveau Xorg driver is used, but the nVidia kernel module is loaded.
I updated this package yesterday but did not reboot. When I started my
machine this morning I could only boot into the terminal. Xorg.0.log
said that the nvidia module did no exist. After purging the nvidia
driver and reinstalling, I can now start the machine and get into X, but
the nouveau driver X driver is in use.
ldmod shows the nvidia driver loaded:
...
ppdev 17671 0
nvidia 10675249 0
snd_hda_codec_hdmi 46368 1
...
But Xorg.0.log says the Xorg driver could not be found:
[ 9.730] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
[ 9.731] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
[ 9.731] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
[ 9.731] (II) Unloading nvidia
[ 9.731] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
The Driver Manager says that I am using the nvidia driver version 331.38, but
update-alternatives has the MESA ld.so.conf selected:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf
There are 3 choices for the alternative x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf (providing
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/nvidia-331/ld.so.conf 8604 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/nvidia-331-prime/ld.so.conf 8603 manual mode
2 /usr/lib/nvidia-331/ld.so.conf 8604 manual mode
* 3 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf 500 manual mode
If I select 0 and log out and back in, the nvidia driver is in use, but
I cannot start Steam. This select also does not survive a reboot.
