Hy all,

I have a GeForce 8400M G and I’ve made a fresh install of Ubuntu Hardy (8.04). I have the nvidia 169.12 driver, shipped with Ubuntu. But when I try to run any cuda program I get this message

Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 169.12,
but this NVIDIA driver component has version 100.14.11. Please make
sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components
have the same version.
There is no device supporting CUDA.

Is there any way to correct this problem??

Thanks in advance

You need to install the driver package which corresponds with the CUDA release. You cannot mix-n-match. Either install the CUDA_1.1 toolkit, or downgrade the driver.
