module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Description

This module will install the official Nvidia proprietary driver for a node when hardware is detected.

Usage

To get started without any fuss, use an include statement:

include nvidia

You can specify the major version number you wish you install, to deal with older hardware. This is subject to package for your distribution, so it might not work.

Using Heira:

nvidia::version: 346

Or a declaring a resource in your manifest:

class { 'nvidia':
version => 346
}

Notes

Detection works by inspecting the output of lspci and looking for anything with the correct vendor id that looks like a graphics card.

This is exposed as the nvidiagfx fact from nodes running Linux.

On Ubuntu, this module will pin the ppa it uses with a higher priority, this is primarily because of some weirdness in the Canoncial metapackages for hardware the author runs (eg: nvidia-346 is a metapackage for nvidia-352, however the latter does not support Ion2 hardware).

Limitations

Right now, this module targets Ubuntu - but I am keen to clean things up and extend to other linux distributions and Windows.
