Failed to load NVIDIA 195.36.08 kernel modules because nouveau is - loading. + loading with separate /usr partition. |
The nouveau module isn't getting blacklisted correctly, when it loads nvidia can't load which is what's happening in this dmesg. Do you have an /etc/modprobe. d/nvidia- graphics- drivers. conf and does it contain blacklist nouveau in it? If so, can you run sudo update-initramfs -u and reboot to see if it fixes the problem?
