art3mis Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Just curious. Is anyone successfully running the latest Nvidia driver (381.22) on Linux ? I am currently on 378.13, with Houdini 16.060 on Ubuntu-Mate16.04 LTS. Edited June 20, 2017 by art3mis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) IIRC 381 did cause some issues with the OpenCL device being intermittently 'lost'. Edited June 20, 2017 by tar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo_c Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yep, just checked and I am running 381.22 successfully with a bumblebee setup on arch and H16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art3mis Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Thanks. Marty, so you aren't running 381? Carlo, can I ask did you do an upgrade thru 'Software & Updates" or did you do a manual install? A search on the official Nvidia download page results in version 381.09. Not sure why 381.22 didn't come up. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/117741/en-us but (from experience and too many wasted weekends) I am extremely nervous about doing any manual install...

There will be no improvement most likely with the new driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art3mis Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Marty not sure what 'Added support' means, but finally see my Titan XP card listed as having support with 381. Wasn't listed in previous versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 fair enough - the software & updates in Ubuntu work seamlessly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art3mis Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 ok thanks. ...just needed reassurance:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo_c Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Installed it using the package manager, I'd only manually install it if you really needed to as I've had headaches in the past too doing it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malexander Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 What marty says is good advice - if the driver you have is working for you, and you don't have any particular need to upgrade it, leave it be. OpenGL has effectively tapped out at GL4.5, and the only things added are vendor-specific extensions which we rarely use. Lately Nvidia has had some bad driver releases, especially on the consumer side as they alter the driver support the current AAA game of the month.
