Re: upgrade to jessie from wheezy with cuda problems

Yes. Also,

# apt-get remove nvidia-kernel-dkms

# apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms

(which, in the year 2011, served to clear the driver at
/lib/modules/2.6.38-2-amd64/updates/dkms. But now the kernel was 3.2.) left
the issue unaltered.

# modinfo nvidia
   ERROR: module nvidia not found

$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia |less

shows

libl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 319.60

and

libg1-nvidia-legacy-304xx--glx:amd64 304.108-4

NVIDIA metapackage rc nvidia-glx 304.88-1-deb7u1

nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver 304.108-4


nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms  304.108-4

nvidia-settings-legacy-303xx  304.108-2

xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx    304.108-4


Everything else 319.60-1 and cuda 5.0

I don't understand why these 304xx are threatening.

I had also run
# nvidia-xconfig

thanks
