[Bug 534469] Re: Failed to load NVIDIA 195.36.08 kernel modules because nouveau is loading.

 

Hello Carlos,

Is your /usr partition on a separate drive?
If it is then you should probably see 'WARNING: Failed to open config file nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf: No such file or directory". This actually means that / got mounted with /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf pointing to /etc/alternatives/nvidia_modconf which in turn pointed to /usr/lib/nvidia-current/modprobe.conf but /usr was not yet mounted at that time.

The workaround is to remove the symlink /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-
drivers.conf and copy the contents of /usr/lib/nvidia-
current/modprobe.conf to  /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
as a regular file, i.e.:

# rm  /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
# cp /usr/lib/nvidia-current/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
