This is fromhttps://
www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ official netinst install of amd64.
I am having a similar problem with my Quadro 5000, which is supported by the driver set.
After installing:
Code: Select all
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig
And rebooting, and coming up into a console screen, and simulating the process:
Code: Select all
root@z800:/home/rpb# startx

Key part of the message is
Code: Select all
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:816 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='nvidia_current'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_current': Function not implemented
Simulating the line, gives a similar result:
Code: Select all
root@z800:/home/rpb# modprobe nvidia-current
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:816 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='nvidia_current'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_current': Function not implemented
root@z800:/home/rpb#
The nvidia config file shows that the name nvidia-current is on purpose:
Code: Select all
root@z800:/home/rpb# cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
alias nvidia nvidia-current
remove nvidia-current rmmod nvidia nvidia-uvm
And that the black list is in place:
Code: Select all
root@z800:/home/rpb# cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-blacklists-nouveau.conf
# You need to run "update-initramfs -u" after editing this file.
# see #580894
blacklist nouveau
Uname command shows what are current headers expected:
Code: Select all
root@z800:/home/rpb# uname -a
Linux z800 3.16-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.3-2 (2014-09-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux
However, dpkg-reconfigure is looking for an old set of headers:
Code: Select all
root@z800:/home/rpb# dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms
------------------------------
Deleting module version: 340.65
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.
Loading new nvidia-current-340.65 DKMS files...
Building only for 3.16-2-amd64
Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
So the nvidia reconfigure is out of date.
Any ideas on how to remedy the nvidia drivers for the latest headers?
