I can't install Nvidia proprietary drivers: error messages "The distribution-provided pre-install script failed!" and "ERROR: Unable to load the 'nvidia' kernel module."

I've installed Kodibuntu from Live CD (v14) on to an Optiplex 780 recently
I updated to v16
I was having problems getting audio out of the 780's display port via HDMI cable-adapter...
So bought a Gigabyte Nvidia GT710
Booted up: res locked at 1024x768 and no option to go any higher
Figured I need to update drivers
Read this page and followed: http://kodi.wiki/view/Kodibuntu_FAQ

Quote:sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

From memory it basically said it was already installed and already the latest version. Rebooted anyway, still no option to use HD
Tried to install the Nvidia Prop. driver Latest Long Lived Branch version: 361.42:
Followed Nvidia instructions to blacklist Nouveau. Rebooted. Not sure if that really stopped Nouveau as apparently X will just load it again?
Stopped the X server (sudo service lightdm stop).... Not sure if Nouveau really dead? Didn't understand the "modeset" stuff the readme mentioned?
First run failed: "ERROR: Unable to load the 'nvidia' kernel module."
Ran apt-get purge nvidia-*
Re-ran nvidia driver. Still getting the same error
There's also an error right at the start "The distribution-provided pre-install script failed!"

I've spent an hour or so reading various forum posts/replies but I can't see anything that I'm missing?

I guess my first question would be "Why did the pre-install script fail? What is it? How can I work that out?" perhaps that explains the next error...
Then I kinda read something about kernel sources... but I've got this: "linux-source-3.13.0 - Linux kernel source for version 3.13.0 with Ubuntu patches" (apt-cache search linux-source) if that's relevant...
I've attached the log from Nvidia below but it doesn't seem to say anything in addition to the "Unable to load nvidia kernel module" error
Is it something to do with Nouveau still? [EDIT: I tried with DKMS Yes as well as No, same result]

Thanks for your help... I know there are a lot of threads on Nvidia problems and I'll continue to read but for now reaching my frustration limit Smile

hmm OK you guys are going to kill me lol

After reboot, Kodi working fine... selected HDMI audio in settings, all good... Only thing that's wrong is the initial kodi loading logo is at the wrong resolution... But hey that's a problem I can deal with (read: pull my hair out over on the weekend)

I hope this post is useful for future users: if it says installation has failed, it may not have actually failed... That will serve me right for basing my judgement on error messages while SSH'ing rather than actually swapping TV input to Kodi to double check Wink

Don't use nvidia's bundles to install the drivers on ubuntu, ever,
it could mess your system for good.

https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/...ubuntu/ppa has all the fresh nvidia drivers conveniently packaged.

Thanks asavah. It's a bit unclear what's the best to go for when there seems to be three or four options:

apt-get install nvidia-current (from ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates) I guess this installs non-prop?
apt-get install nvidia-XXX (driver version number): this may be what you're listing above? Not sure... I've seen a few forum posts with this, not sure if all that same PPA?
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-XXX.run

As for what those three options are actually doing when you install them: who knows? OK probably a lot of people know... but not I Smile

I love apt-get for software install/update, it's so fast, easy, smart, reliable... Nothing like it in Windows.
But as for driver installs in Linux: bit of a headache. I wish it could be like Windows... Granted I have no idea what I'm talking about: but I wish someone smarter than me would write an app (for arguments sake, called OpiSimpleDrv)... Usage: "OpiSimpleDrv <Device Name> <Driver>" and you just use the device name listed in /dev... Maybe that extreme simplification is not feasible with how Linux is structured *shrug*. Linux graphics drivers remind me of how hard it used to be to install Windows Video Codecs circa 2000... multiple sources, some would completely screw your system, impossible to get rid of sometimes... but thankfully not really any need to mess with codecs any more as they're all either included in media player or VLC or whatever...

Well, you sort of can with Ubuntu. If you open the Synaptic package manager, click on settings, then repositories, then in the window that opens, the far right tab 'additional drivers' you can install/remove video/audio drivers there. Obviously this depends upon which PPA's you have added.

The ppa posted by asavah contains the latest nVidia drivers, but properly packaged and supported.

All that said, although I have read many times of people having issues with the nVidia bundle, I've used that several times with no problems.
