I have recently started using Ubuntu 16.04 Creative Studio & was trying to install an NVIDIA Geforce gt710 driver over the Ubuntu suggested driver (I had to, as Ubuntu was not accepting the (auto prompt) Nvidia driver & the Nouveau driver was running by default).
I downloaded the latest Nvidia driver (-375.66.run) from the NVIDIA site separately. Everything went fine after a couple of tries from help instructions I found online, I went to shell, disabled desktop manager, installed driver, updated intramfs, & (I thought) my Nvidia driver was installed & running. But software that requires GPU acceleration does not detect the card.
I see Manually installed driver in the Additional Drivers Settings and under System Settings, the proprietary NVIDIA & Noveau drivers are locked.
Does this sound like a faulty driver installation? What might be the correct process to get it running?

Blendr System Settings under User Preferences has a feature where I can assign the compute device to be the CPU or GPU. After installing the driver for the GPU, the system settings does not prompt me to use the GPU instead of the CPU as Blendr does not seem to detect the GPU. I did not try anything to make it detect the GPU other than install the GPU drivers.
uname -r,find /lib/modules -name nvidia\*.ko\*,lsmod | grep nvidia, andlspci -nnk | grep -A3 VGAas well as the content of/var/log/Xorg.0.log? Thanks. – David Foerster Jun 27 '17 at 13:04/var/log/Xorg.0.log, not the output of an attempt to execute it. ;-) The output of all the command looks good insofar as your system uses the proprietary Nvidia graphics drivers. Which application specifically doesn't detect the graphics hardware acceleration? What exactly did you try to have the application detect it? – David Foerster Jun 29 '17 at 18:42Xorg.0.log? It looks a bit cut off. Maybe you hit the max. character limit for questions? Longer listings (the editor will tell you what's too long) should be uploaded to a pastie service and linked to in the question. Thanks. – David Foerster Jul 01 '17 at 07:47
