I now get error running glxgears :
% glxgears
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
Segmentation fault
% ls -l /dev/nvidiactl
0 crw------- 1 root root 195, 255 Nov 11 11:52 /dev/nvidiactl
After this I tried running as root and its fine.
Then I did chmod go+rw /dev/nvidia*
and non-root user is now fine.
Odd thing - after doing the livna update I swear i ran this and it tested
fine. Today its not working ... could something have changed it overnight?
