环境描述
Ubuntu16.04 + NVIDIA Getforce 940MX (Thinkpad) + Cuda8.0

问题描述
黑屏，蓝屏，发生各种错误，然后为了解决这些错误，引入了更多的错误，重装系统；再黑屏，在蓝屏，再错误，再重装系统。

本文目的
细节网上很多，本文主要想把细节串起来，恢复解决问题的完整逻辑脉络，即：1. 安装NVIDIA驱动，验证； 2. 安装CUDA，验证；

具体步骤
1. 安装nvidia驱动：建议驱动在ubuntu tty1模式下安装（thinkpad fn+control+alt+f1进入tty1模式；并关闭intel显卡驱动，~$ sudo service lightdm stop，其他博客的添加blacklist黑名单下载源的工作逻辑上也是在这一步进行的；然后，安装nvidia显卡驱动；最后，安装成功之后再打开~$ sudo service lightdm start，fn+control+alt+f7退出tty1模式）。当然，nvidia显卡驱动选择离线安装NVIDIA驱动，注意：搜索相关的策略（哪些选项yes哪些no）；也可以离线安装。

2. 验证nvidia驱动安装成功：在ubuntu的“search your computer”中能直接找到”nvidia”的logo。如图：

3. 验证nvidia驱动正在使用：在ubuntu的“search your computer”的“Additional Drivers”中，看到当前使用的显卡驱动是nvidia的，而非intel的集成显卡驱动，如图，（如果不能使用，一般是没有进入 “insecure mode”）

4. 安装cuda8.0：建议选择离线安装cuda8.0，选项选择（先不要选择drivers,Opengl 和 X drivers !!!*）：

Driver:   Not Selected
Toolkit:  Installed in /usr/local/cuda-8.0
Samples:  Installed in /home

5. 验证CUDA是否成功：
添加系统变量：

sudo vi /etc/profile

写入：

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

重启ubuntu
