nvidia-persistenced.service won't start.

I read that nvidia should have 'persistence' loaded at startup since version 319.

I can enable the service via systemctl, but all attempts to start it fail.

Looks like some kind of permissions issue--but I have no idea what the remedy is. (I'm not even sure I NEED nvidia-persistenced, but it would be nice to know it would run if I did.)

If X is starting, you won't need nvidia-persistenced, the gpu is started already. Otherwise, what command are you using to start nvidia-persitenced?

wilberfan · 2015-06-09 19:02:08

Yes, this is all taking place in a XFCE4 environment...

I was using $ "sudo systemctl start nvidia-persistenced.service", I believe. (After the initial 'enable' command.)

Buddlespit · 2015-06-09 19:22:29

Yeah, you don't need persistenced, but for your info, try:

# nvidia-persistenced --user userneame --persistence-mode
