===========================================================================
Jul  6 06:55:55 matrix udev[3953]: creating device node '/udev/nvidia0'
Jul  6 06:55:55 matrix udev[3947]: creating device node '/udev/
nvidiactl'
Jul  6 07:06:35 matrix nvidia: Disabling nvidia driver succeeded
Jul  6 07:08:50 matrix nvidia: Checking for nvidia kernel module failed

===========================================================================
