With the nvidia-352 driver in 14.04, there no longer seems to be an uvm package, and the nvidia-modprobe package is at version 340.21.
In the past I've added "nvidia-uvm" to /etc/modules, and the following from here [ http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/6_5/rel/docs/CUDA_Getting_Started_Linux.pdf ] to /etc/rc.local to get CUDA working in Blender: /sbin/modprobe nvidia-uvm if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then # Find out the major device number used by the nvidia-uvm driver D=`grep nvidia-uvm /proc/devices | awk '{print $1}'` mknod -m 666 /dev/nvidia-uvm c $D 0 else exit 1 fi With nvidia-modprobe installed, "lsmod | grep nvi" does list nvidia-uvm, but there is not /dev/nvidia-uvm device created. Running the above script snippet creates /dev/nvidia-uvm, but CUDA is still not working in Blender. It would be great if CUDA worked out of the box, either when you install the nvidia-352 driver, or at least when you install libcuda1-352. -- 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
