This done on Alienware PC

Step

  1. Install fresh 16.04TLS
  2. Download CUDA library (.run)
  3. Go to Terminal mode (Ctrl + Alt + F1)
  4. Stop lightdm (service lightdm stop)
  5. Chmod +x and run CUDA installer (sudo su ./cuda...run)
  6. It will fail due to Noveau thing so should restart and run step 5 again.
  7. Setup bash profile for PATH to include (/usr/local/cuda)
  8. Run nvcc -V to check that CUDA is fully installed.

Possible Failure

Should step 6 failed, run:

sudo update-initramfs -u

It might be error booting up, just go to command mode (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and run step 6 again.
