Xen is installed on Linux mint. How to install CUDA without getting a black screen or command line on restart?

In other words, how to get Xen's Dom0 Mint Desktop with CUDA installed?

Best lead so far is that it seems that NVIDIA does not work with Dom0 Xen but there might be a workaround that exists involving (re)building NVIDIA drivers with a 'IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=y' parameter :

  • To the best of my understanding this issue seemed to be shared by many : https://www.xenproject.org/questions-and-answers/how-can-i-use-cuda-on-dom0-with-nvidia-geforce-gt630.html | https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/823527/cuda-setup-and-installation/cuda-7-trouble-running-devicequery-and-all-other-samples/ | https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/824340/cuda-setup-and-installation/gtx-750-ti-blank-screen-on-xen-4/ | https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/13121/gpgpu-cuda-in-kvm-or-xen?rq=1 – guest Jul 01 '16 at 20:05
  • Incidentally there seem to be options to switch between Nouveau and NVIDIA drivers 'on the fly' if it would help: https://askubuntu.com/questions/16998/switch-between-nvidia-current-and-nouveau-without-a-reboot?rq=1 | https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Nouveau_%26_nvidia-drivers_switching | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Switching_between_NVIDIA_and_nouveau_drivers – guest Jul 01 '16 at 20:39
