Как отключить драйвер Nouveau в Linux
При попытке установить драйвера для видеокарты Nvidia многие сталкивались вот с такой ошибкой:
ERROR: The Nouveau kernel driver is currently in use by your system. This driver is incompatible with the NVIDIA driver, and must be disabled before proceeding. Please consult the NVIDIA driver README and your Linux distribution’s documentation for details on how to correctly disable the Nouveau kernel driver. WARNING: The modprobe configuration file to disable Nouveau, /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf, is already present. Please be sure you have rebooted your system since that file was written. If you have rebooted, then Nouveau may be enabled for other reasons, such as being included in the system initial ramdisk or in your X configuration file. Please consult the NVIDIA driver README and your Linux distribution’s documentation for details on how to correctly disable the Nouveau kernel driver. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file ‘/var/log/nvidia-installer.log’ for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
Эта ошибка говорит о том что в настоящее время используется драйвер Nouveau и его нужно отключить для установки драйверов Nvidia.
Чтобы не возникало такой проблемы нужно отключить драйвер на начальном этапе загрузки системы. Для этого если система грузится как здесь Ubuntu 9.10 с флешки добавляем в menu.lst nouveau.modeset=0 после этого наш menu.lst будет выглядеть вот так:
title Start Ubuntu 9.10 from USB DISK
root (cd)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true persistent nouveau.modeset=0
initrd /boot/initrd.lz
boot
Следущий шаг удаляем все драйвера Nouveau пишем в терминале:
sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
