I would like to try enabling GSP Mode for my GTX 1080 (enable gpu firmware).
https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/555.58.02/README/gsp.html
This is done by adding a nvidia-gsp.conf file with the appropriate command to /etc/modprobe.d
“options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=1”
Since the /etc folder is read-only, which prevents me from adding this file to that folder, how can I set this option to experiment?
Thanks
The /etc folder isn’t read only, you can plop that config file in there. (No nvidia card here so I don’t know if this will fix the problem, but /etc is fully writeable)
Interesting…
I mentioned the permissions because I am getting this error when trying to “copy to” the modprobe.d folder:
This was after creating the file from scratch and also giving it full read / write permissions.
Also, I cannot copy any file to the modprobe.d folder. The paste option is grayed out.
When I look at the modprobe.d folder, it says I can only access it, but not modify:
Hit Ctrl-L in nautilus then put admin:// in the location field. It’ll prompt you for your admin password and then you should be able to plop files in there.
Neat trick! Thank you!
