I had to deal with what may be the same problem on updating from Ascii to Beowulf. The problem I found is caused by the nvidia-persistenced init not checking for an existing running copy of nvidia-persistenced. i) if you don't use CUDA then you can simply get rid of nvidia- persistenced. ii) if you want CUDA then you can patch /etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced My dev1galaxy forum posts might be of some help: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=20903#p20903 - my fixed version of /etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced. and https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=20917#p20917 - which explains that you can probably also get away with simply removing or disabling nvidia-persistenced as for most use cases it's not needed unless you want to use CUDA. If you can't access these I can send you the patched init. -- Marjorie _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
