Ubuntu – Nvidia GTX 1050 ti on ubuntu 14.04

14.04cudanvidia

I just upgraded my graphics card to the GTX 1050 Ti, the screen works fine, but I don't seem to be capable of using the GPU with Caffe or Cuda.

lucie02@lucie02:~$ lspci | grep VGA

Can some one Please help.

As of 14 March 2017, adding zesty to your apt sources:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ zesty main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ zesty main restricted

and apt-get install nvidia-375 appears to work and not drag in unrelated packages from zesty. Consider it experimental (zesty isn't due to release for another month) but perhaps less troublesome than the full purge-and-upstream approach that you'd have previously needed.
