Ubuntu 15.10 status: Installing only nvidia-352 and nvidia-cuda-toolkit packages forces Blender 2.76 to be started as root for the CUDA option to be visible in Blender menus (no errors reported in Blender). Installing also nvidia-modprobe fixes this problem: Blender can be started as normal user.
Starting Blender as root naturally saves the project files as root:root as well, possibly also other files, including user preferences. The nvidia-modprobe package installation seems more like a requirement in this use case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361207 Title: nvidia-graphics-drivers-* should recommend nvidia-modprobe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1361207/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
