Hello,

Has anyone managed to get CUDA working on Devuan? If I can't get it working I'll reluctantly have to switch to another Linux distribution.

Could anyone running the nvidia driver without problems (either on ascii or an earlier release) please run the following commands (they don't need to be run as root) and post the output:
dpkg-query --search nvidia-current-drm
dpkg-query --search nvidia-current-uvm
dpkg-query --search nvidia-current-modeset

That should tell us what package provides them.

Hello,

I'm trying to get CUDA working on a system running Devuan. The GPU should support it:

$ nvidia-detect 
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] [10de:0e22] (rev a1)

Checking card:  NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] (rev a1)
Your card is supported by all driver versions.
It is recommended to install the
    nvidia-driver
package.

nvidia-driver version 384.130-1 is installed.

But something seems to be missing:

# nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

When rebooting the system I got messages about nvidia-current-modeset and nvidia-current-drm not being in /lib/modules/4.9.0-6-amd64 (I had to pause the boot with control-S, write them down, then control-Q to continue the boot). Similar messages come from:

# modprobe nvidia
modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia-current not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.0-6-amd64
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:977 command_do() Error running install command for nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Operation not permitted

What packages provide nvidia-current-modeset and nvidia-current-drm?

Chris
