Nvidia Could Not Open The Device File /dev/nvidiactl
installing Nvidia drivers it gives the Input/Output error and states "could not open device file /dev/nvidia0." I tried everything from the Nvidia wiki, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone please have any other ideas or things to try? My Nvidia card is 8600M GT and I have installed xorg-server, xorg-apps and Nvidia-utils already. Also is it possible my graphics card is not compatiable with this new kernel? Thank you for your time.

Where would I add video groups to? I was logged in as root and it still fails. Offline #4 2012-08-21 18:37:09 mynis01 Member Registered: 2011-04-29 Posts: 66 Re: Nvidia Input/Output error.

My problem is I can't get NVIDIA proprietary drivers to work. I tried to install it on Ubuntu 12.04.1 32 and 64 bits, Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 2, Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon 64 bits and openSUSE 12.2 64 bits and the error code and symptoms (logging to tty1 instead of GUI http://askubuntu.com/questions/197040/nvidia-proprietary-driver-logging-me-to-console-instead-of-gui logging, low-res bootscreen) are the same for all of these distros. Right, I didn't tell what's the error code. It appears on sudo startx. NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 (Input/output error). I know that's the common problem, but I tried to blacklist or even remove the noveau drivers, install NVIDIA driver from repo/from official script/in "Additional drivers", editing xorg.conf and using Xorg -configurate and nvidia-xconfig, actualizing the kernel and entire distro and many, many things that I don't remember. But the problem is even better: entire Cinnamon (Mint) is freezing during the work. I found the error code, which appears during the freeze: Oct 1 20:57:17 WoozieLaptop kernel: [ 308.120176] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 4/1 Mthd 0z0060 Data 0xbcef0201 My Xorg.0.log is here.
