Installing 12.04.5 headless multiple GPU server/CUDA6.0 - 12.10 not supported anymore

Hello friends

I've been running a few headless multiple GPU boinc servers on 12.10/CUDA5.5 because of the "bug" in the 12.04.4 update. But, 12.10 is not supported any more. https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-55-archive
I noticed that there's no warning at CUDA6.0/Ubuntu 12.04.5 so I tried to build the system using these. Everything went pretty well until I got to this command (which worked fine in 12.10/CUDA5.5). Please help me edit or correct this command so that it can be done. Here's the command and the errors which appeared:

Code:

# apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) x11-xserver-utils mesa-utils

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-32-generic
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-image-extra-3.13.0-32-generic'

Here's a few additional commands I use, so that you can maybe get an idea of what I'm doing:

Code:

[...]

#19 # apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) x11-xserver-utils mesa-utils   <----- errors because of this command

#20 # modprobe nvidia

#21 # nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus

#22  cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[...]

Looking forward to hear from anyone

Hi

Please check the file /etc/apt/sources.list, it must have these entries to get the linux-image-extra-3.13.0-32-generic

 

Content of /etc/apt/sources.list

Hi Srijan,


Thanks for helping my friend

It doesn't seem to be in the file. Here's the content of /etc/apt/sources.list
As I wrote earlier on, I've got 3 systems running 12.10/CUDA5.5 which works just fine. Should I list /etc/apt/sources.list from one of those systems, so that we can compare it? Or doesn't these lines have to be in 12.10 to work?

Hi Dan,

Your 12.04 don't seem to be upgraded with the latest kernel. Do one trick, first upgrade the system to latest one with latest updates. Use

Further check with this command if you have linux-image-generic latest installed use:

Then try to install linux-image-extra

 

Hi Srijan,


Regarding the update & upgrade command I does these several times during the Boinc Server installation. I'm pretty sure i did this more times than necassary, but I'll do it again right now of course

The ToDo changes the "stamp" or "version number" or what its called, or I think it does.

Code:

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release:        12.04

Code:

# cat /proc/version

Regarding "apt-get upgrade linux-image-generic" I'll try that right away!!

Here's a copy of relevant stuff in my ToDo as it was when I installed the 12.10 system.:
