When you get here

run pure cuda program is OK, but when it comes to openGL-related programs (e.g. marchingCubes, ....), problems arises. FAILED

use Intel onchipe OpenGL instead

http://superuser.com/questions/484991/nvidia-graphics-driver-in-ubuntu-12-04

Alternative

WORST CASE ALTERNATIVE: FOR OPENGL ONLY (WITHOUT CUDA)

Try the following on Ubuntu 12.04 [Worst case if nothing works with NVIDIA GPU, with this you can use OpenGL with Intel onchip display card if not for NVIDIA's CUDA Kit]

glxinfo

If it says something like

name of display: :0.0
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

http://superuser.com/questions/484991/nvidia-graphics-driver-in-ubuntu-12-04

do: sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
not influenced
11.1 reboot
still not influenced .e.g. vectorAdd

Then proceed

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

For 32 bit Reinstall xorg completely

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

For 64 bit Reinstall xorg completely

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64

The OS info (32 bit/64 bit) can be verified using uname -a

Then Reconfigure Xorg

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo reboot

On reboot run glxinfo again and verify that those values

name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
