12.04 - update pci.ids file to check for CUDA compatibility

I'm going through CUDA's documentation and following this page (CUDA toolkit documentation) to see whether or not my machine and distro can support it.
To verify if i have a CUDA capable GPU, i had to enter this command




lspci | grep -i nvidia





upon entering this command i got no result, and i followed it up by entering this




update-pciids




^^i got the following result upon entering the aforementioned command





update-pciids: /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.new is read-only




any ideas on how to verify the compatibility of my card with CUDA?
