2 sudo modprobe ipmi_msghandler
3 sudo modprobe ipmi_devintf
4 sudo modprobe ipmi_si

 

IV. install NVIDIA driver

Download driver:

1 wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/410.93/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.93.run
2 chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.93.run

Remove old drivers (not required for new systems):

1 sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

Install dependent software:

1 sudo apt-get install build-essential freeglut3-dev libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev

Create a new file and write the following:

1 sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

 

blacklist nouveau
