# nvidia-bug-report.sh(1)

creates a report to troubleshoot NVIDIA driver problems.

## NAME

nvidia-bug-report.sh - creates a report to troubleshoot NVIDIA driver problems.

## SYNOPSIS

**nvidia-bug-report.sh**

## DESCRIPTION

**nvidia-bug-report.sh** collects information about your system (requires root privileges) and creates a file called 'nvidia-bug-report.log.gz' in order to diagnose NVIDIA driver issues. This file can then be sent to linux-bugs@nvidia.com or reported to the NVIDIA Linux forum (https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/linux/).

## NOTES

To make sure this log file includes as much relevant information as possible, please start the X server with \`**startx -- -logverbose 6**\` and run \`**nvidia-bug-report.sh**\` after the problem has occurred. If X can not be started or the machine appears to have crashed, please check if you can log into it remotely (e.g. via ssh or telnet) and run \`**nvidia-bug-report.sh**\` in the remote shell, if possible.
