any guide installing cuda/nvidia on linux?

[philsmd]

it should be very clear what I meant, but I will try to rephrase it: the forum user @pay said he did install the debian package cuda-repo-ubuntu1404_7.5-18_amd64.deb, nvidia-kernel-dkms and nvidia-cuda-toolkit ... and I wrote that he must uninstall them (and "clean up the system") before installing the nvidia driver from nvidia.com. As simple as this.

There is nvidia-settings (even a GUI application) which allows you to configure the resolution etc if you don't want to mess with the xorg.conf file yourself. This always worked for me
