[SOLVED] Nvidia driver not loading with kernel 3.19

[bmorency]

Hi,

I just upgraded to kernel 3.19 and the Nvidia driver is not loading with it.  I have driver 340.65. I have found that Nvidia driver 346.35 does work with kernel 3.19 as per link below. Does anyone know when the updated driver will be available?

If there are any questions let me know.

Thank you.

i woul suggest the drivers from fixes/non-free - or better wait for an answer from towo or someone who uses modern nvidia cards

I added the fixes/non-free repo and updated the driver. I have rebooted using the new kernel and the video drivers are now working.

Thank you for your help.

I am having the same problem with nvidia. I tried adding fixes/non-free to my repo list, but I must not be doing it right. It isn't able to find the repo. Could someone give me the exact line to add?  Thanks.
