The monster lives! It just hadnt downloaded any CUDA elements! Off we go boys!

I see this in the event log...

Sat 13 Oct 2018 02:58:55 PM PDT | | CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (driver version 384.13, CUDA version 9.0, compute capability 6.1, 3011MB, 2706MB available, 4053 GFLOPS peak)

CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version.

Told Ya Don't run it if you don't have at least 390...
I suggest you stop it until you install 396.

So, 396 is in your Home folder with the Execute bit Set.

Close Any Open Apps.
Hold down the Keys Ctrl, ALT, F1 to enter the console mode.
Log In
Type, sudo service lightdm stop
Enter Password, once it's stopped,
Enter,
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
YES, include the asterisk.
Then,
sudo apt-get autoremove
That should remove the repository driver.
Enter, dir
That will list the contents of Home, you should see the 396 driver there.
Enter,
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-396.54.run
Respond to the Screen prompts,
The install script will Always fail if you don't provide one, it means nothing, continue installing.
You probably don't even have 32-bit compat, keep going.
You Want To Register the Module, chose Yes.
Since you don't have a custom xorg.conf, let it build one for you.
After it'd done, sudo reboot
You might have to find nVidia Settings again, see what says for a driver version.

Humm... Saw a bunch of computation errors...
Now they're gone.
Dont see the one GPU running anything... Cores only...

Oh! Duh... The very top of the entire screen... Go it... Looking...

Yep, 396 is the one.

Run the mouse to the Top of the Screen, Select View/Advanced View

System Settings
Appearance
Behavior
Show the Menus for a Window: Chose One
Menus Visibility: Chose One.

The link you sent downloaded as 396.54... ???

Cant find advanced view to save my life...

At the Top of the Event Log, where it Lists the GPUs, it will Say which CUDA version the Driver is.
I've never tried 384, 390 & 410 gives a driver crash on occasion, the 396 driver works best on my machine.

If 384 works, try that for now. Download 396 but, it's a little more complicated to install. See if 384 works for you, I've never tried it.

Getting your driver...
Restarting...

Now I am actually "on" the miner machine...
Going to get your driver. Didnt see any CUDA nothin...

No errors though...

What does BOINC say? In the Event log it will say if it's a CUDA 9.1 driver.

Opps... Right. Better go get your VER to be sure.

Confirmed using Nvidia X-Server Setting driver VER is 384.130

Well, I hope 384 is a CUDA 9.1 driver, else it will be throwing Errors....

Advanced View is in the Same place as on Windows. Run the Mouse to the Top of the Screen and the Menus will Appear.

No "Advanced View" in Linux?

Unbelievable! I got Seti running on the miner!

Okay, almost got it...

No chipset drivers for Linux.

You will need to download the Driver from NV, use this one it seems to work best for me, https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/137211/en-us

After downloading it, move it to the Home folder, right click on it, select Properties/Permissions, then check the box that says, Execute, allow executing file as program. BTW, DO NOT Unpack the All In One Package until it is on the machine, it MUST stay zipped until it is on the machine or ALL the Execute bits will be reset. It's best to download it in the machine that will be using it.
