Bug#795262: nvidia-cuda-toolkit: Reboot, after package installation, do not unload the Nouveau drivers

[François Legendre]

Package: nvidia-cuda-toolkit
Version: 6.0.37-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Many thanks for your work.

I install the nvidia-cuda-toolkit using synaptic. After reboot, the Nouveau
drivers are still loaded. The command

# lsmod | grep nouveau

prints some lines.

I follow the indications found at http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-getting-
started-guide-for-linux/#axzz3iaadD0fW for Ubuntu distribution :

1. Create a file at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf with the following
contents:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
2. Regenerate the kernel initramfs:
# update-initramfs -u

Now, it works.

Sincerely
