[Bug 1400021] [NEW] boinc-nvidia-cuda does not install nvidia-modprobe

[Peter D.]

Public bug reported:

On 14.04, 14.10, and possibly other versions, BOINC does not work with
CUDA "out of the box".  One of the reasons is that the meta package
boinc-nvidia-cuda does not install nvidia-modprobe, a necessary package.
The work around is, "sudo apt-get install nvida-modprobe" and reboot.

confirmation.
