Whenever I do a build, I follow the instructions here (the latest is nvidia-387):
http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/how-to-install-latest-nvidia-drivers-in-linux
I've always found these to work with a vanilla 16.04.3 server. You'll still need to install the cuda-toolkit, but that's about it...

Hello there!
I am looking to build Ubuntu 16.04 with (3) EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti's for starters (plan to add one more) to mine ZCash using EWBF Miner.
I have already performed the following with little success:
Asus Prime P270-P Motherboard
1350Watt PSU
16GB RAM
240GB SSD
Base Ubuntu Server build
installed CUDA 9.0 as per instructions here-=> https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
installed 1080ti drivers from NVidia version 384 (latest long term release)
installed EWBF Miner 0.34b
Once I installed CUDA 9.0 the following command did *not* work:
nvcc --version
it recommended i install "sudo apt-get install cuda-toolkit" of which installed version 7.5
nvcc --version *did* work
However when running the actual EWBF Miner the GPU temp would be zero and the miner would freeze up.
Does anyone have a fail-safe guide or step by step to use in order to get the a succesfull Ubunut miner?
I have have plenty of issues with Windows and was hoping to get a plain vanilla Ubuntu minig build.
Thank you in advance!
