11.04.2014 · i've noticed with kernels of late that the nvidia driver fails to build when the kernel is being installed. i often have to boot into the kernel. x will fail to start. i login as root and run dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms. The drawback of this is that: 1. It uninstalls lower kernel version modules and doesn't rebuild them.
NVIDIA binary kernel module support files (Tesla 460 version) The NVIDIA binary driver provides optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES applications via a direct-rendering X Server for graphics cards using NVIDIA chip sets. This package provides supporting configuration for the kernel module.
Occasionally, my system gets into a state where some kernels are missing a module or two, because DKMS somehow forgot to compile those modules for that kernel. Rather than spend time diagnosing the problem, it would be nice if there was a single command I could run that woudl just rebuild every dkms-controlled module for every installed kernel.
NVIDIA binary kernel module DKMS source (340xx legacy version) This package builds the NVIDIA Xorg binary kernel module needed by nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver, using DKMS. Provided that you have the kernel header packages installed, the kernel module will be built for your running kernel and automatically rebuilt for any new kernel headers that are installed.

It may be installable using the nvidia method.
05.02.2021 · L4T：R32.4.3 According to the l4t manual, after the ota upgrade, the customized kernel, device tree, pinmux, etc. will be overwritten. This will cause my jetson device to not work properly. My understanding of this problem is to use the rebuild l4t kernel package mentioned in BSP Customization to install and solve it. I don’t know if my understanding is correct. …
I imagine you want to stop the display manager which is what I'd suspect would be using the Nvidia drivers. After change to a text console (pressing Ctrl + ...
Show activity on this post. For me dpkg-reconfigure rebuilds the Nvidia driver with the latest kernel. This then requires a reboot to take effect. My example below uses the older nvidia-304-updates. sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-304-updates. EDIT: I managed to automate this by writing a script zz-dkpg-reconfigure-nvidia that runs after kernel ...
29.04.2018 · ERROR: An NVIDIA kernel module 'nvidia-drm' appears to already be loaded in your kernel. This may be because it is in use (for example, by an X server, a CUDA program, or the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon), but this may also happen if your kernel was configured without support for module unloading.
