I have Nvidia Tesla K20 GPU to use for Tensorflow. When I install Nvidia driver version 375 or 384, after restart it shows



. bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found.
. bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found.
. bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found.
. bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found.
. bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found.
............... indefinitely .......


I use recovery mode to uninstall driver and everything goes back to normal. Same thing happens for both Ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04.



If I use command



sudo apt-get install nvidia-current


it installs driver version 304 and it works but Tensorflow requires CUDA 8.0 and it requires driver version at least 361. Any driver newer than version 304 causes the same problem.
