From this we see that you have:

/dev/sda1: some NTFS-formatted partition
/dev/sda2: Linux swap
/dev/sda3: Linux filesystem, presumably your root filesystem
/dev/sda4: Linux filesystem, maybe e.g. /home

/dev/sdb1: the EFI System Partition (ESP)
/dev/sdb{2,3,4}: some NTFS-formatted partition

Also referring to viewtopic.php?p=2280055#p2280055 you boot into the Live/Installer USB (which I see you've already done), open a terminal and run

Code: Select all

$ sudo mount <root filesystem> /mnt
in which <root filesystem> is then in your case presumably /dev/sda3.

You then with e.g.

Code: Select all

$ sudo nano /mnt/etc/default/grub
edit your installed system's /etc/default/grub to change/add GRUB_TERMINAL=console. It'll probably be there already but commented out with a # at the start of the line which you'd remove. Also may want to make sure you have GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false in there. Save and exit the editor.

Then, with <esp> in your case /dev/sdb1,

Code: Select all

$ sudo -i
# mount <esp> /mnt/boot/efi
# mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
# mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
# mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
# mount --bind /sys/firmware/efi/efivars /mnt/sys/firmware/efi/efivars
# chroot /mnt update-grub
# exit
$ exit
The efivars bind-mount may complain, the others may not. You on reboot are supposedly able again to boot into your normal system.

If none of the above errored that seems unlikely -- but I can't help then. Shame, since I planned for this thread to be the referral-thread for this issue.

Are you not able to boot into Recovery Mode to be able to switch back to the open-source driver?

I do not know the specifics of your "out of memory" error, but many people with Nvidia have been running into at least one type of "out of memory" error. It is a known issue due to a bug. Please see this post for an option which worked for many people. That option came from the several mentioned in this post.

Hi,

I got a solution:

You need to install the next new driver from Nvidia: 525.85.05

I tested it and it works well with my RTX 4080 !

For installation of this driver follow these instructions:

1. Download driver
-> place it on a simple place like the "Download"-Folder
-> rename it to ex. nvidia.run (makes it easier later)

2. You need to install "libc build essentials" , because the Nvidiadriver needs it later.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install build-essential
3. Close your graphical desktop/switch to the console with: STRG + ALT + F1 (or F3)

(backwarts: STRG + ALT + F/

4. Now we need to close the Displaymanager/Xserver:

Type in: for Gnome

Code: Select all

sudo service gdm stop
for Cinnamon:

Code: Select all

sudo service lightdm stop
for KDE:

Code: Select all

sudo service kdm stop
...

4. Now switch to the download place where you have saved the driver:

ex.: cd Downloads

5. Start to install the driver with:

Code: Select all

sudo sh nvidia.run 
-> follow the instructions, maybe you will be notified to install more, but it was not necessary on my system.

-> Reboot

Conclusion:

Thats all, it works good. The driver slows down the GPU Fans and show the right hardware.
I made it on a complete new Linux Mint (21.1) /Ubuntu installation.

Now that you have done that, you will need to do all future updates on your own. The Nvidia driver from their website is not exactly the same as the one used in the package management system so do not try mixing the two installation methods. I have had to help people who did it both ways and ended up with two drivers on their system interfering with each other. That is why we do not recommend installing the driver from the website.

Others are running 4000 series GPUs without having to do that. Additionally, I see that driver version is showing as available on the graphics-drivers-ppa so it was not necessary to go to Nvidia's website.

Glad your system is now working for you, but I would not recommend that solution to others.

where do you see that? The 525.85.05 is still not available on the list:

https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers ... /+packages

Are you using an other PPA ?

Sorry, I didn't notice it was listed for lunar. Apparently, it is not yet available for jammy.

It is also quite possible the issue was with packaging and not the driver version itself. I have seen that happen. I recommend people run all the updates in Update Manager and reboot before installing the Nvidia drivers.

The workaround I suggested has helped numerous people regardless of driver version. You didn't provide much info so hard to known what the issue really is. Many people are already using the driver you indicate caused your issue.

Yes I had also this idea, but it was still not successful. I tried it on Linux Mint and Ubuntu with Mate.
Unfortunately I can not test it with Fedora or Manjaro cause the boot images don't work, whether with the Ubuntu tool or with Rufus and the Fedora Tool on Windows 11 :?

I tried also very many options in the BIOS...

My system:

Core: Intel Core i5 13600K
G-Kart: Zotac Geforce RTX 4080
Mainbaord: MSI Pro Z 690-P
16 GB Ram
M.2 SSD Samsung 980 Pro , 1 TB

Howether,
. I have had to help people who did it both ways and ended up with two drivers on their system interfering with each other. That is why we do not recommend installing the driver from the website.


Yes I tried to remove the driver with the command

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge \*nvidia\* 
, it removes much but the nvidia tool is still there and slows down the GPU Fans to 0 % , and its not possible to use the driver tool from LinuxMint, it shows nothing. I installed the driver 515 from the ppa but nothing changes. Little bit strange.


I recommend to wait until the new driver is part of the official PPA ;-)

Sorry, but that does not help us. You need to provide the output of

for us to be able to see how Linux Mint views your hardware. Please enclose the results in code tags. Displaying terminal output in a post has a graphic on using code tags.

You can not remove the Nvidia driver from the website using package commands. The website driver does not use the packages. You have use the nvidia-uninstaller to remove it. That is the only way to remove it.

If you went and installed a driver from the PPA then you now have both drivers installed on your system. I was serious when I said in my earlier post not to do that. The Nvidia documentation tells you to use your distro's packages and not the website driver and this is why--they do not install the same way and you end up with two drivers on your system.

How about we clean up your system so you only have one Nvidia driver installed? Or did you start over again already?

Just to chime in OP...[(my Out Of Memmory Errors (OOM)]

When I finally worked out my installation issues were from not using Rufus to make the usb installer, I used rufus and the next installation was successful. On booting the PC for the first time kernel updates were done, then nvidia drivers, firmware etc. Then restarted the PC, it started booting to OOM errors.

Installed Mint again and left out the kernel updates, nvidia drivers, firmware, but updated everything else. It rebooted successfully. This time I setup timeshift. I updated the latest nvidia drivers and reboot. OOM error occurred on reboot. Booted to the usb flash drive and timeshifted to the restore point. Updated the kernel and firmware but not the gfx driver. All rebooted fine. Chose the next nvidia driver down from the latest, rebooted to OOM error.

Timeshifted back again, booted to the oldest nvidia driver in the list and OOM error. Timeshifted back again. Stayed on nouveau opensource to find anyone else having the same problem. Turns out I wasn't the only one, and their fix was simple enough. I changed compression figure from 1 to 19, rebooted and installed the latest nvidia drivers 525 from the list, and rebooted successfully ever since.

I've had small annoyances ever since using this GTX1050 card (grab anything - gpu shortage and middle covid times kinda deal), the kind of nvidia annoyances some people get, but others don't seem to, it's fine in windows, however. Its replacement is arriving any day now, so I can't wait to put all this behind me. I'm on the opensource driver atm due to a weird audio issue when using nvidia drivers, see what I mean about a problematic card.

Link to my saviour post, hopefully anyone else's too:

A 13th-gen Intel CPU needs a newer kernel than 5.15 in order to get the necessary Intel graphics drivers. Currently, your system is running in software rendering mode (llvmpipe).

You MUST upgrade to a newer kernel for this hardware.

If it is exactly the same then you should be able to use their directions (which is the same link I already gave you) in order to boot without getting the error. Did you make the changes yet?

Your system needs a newer kernel and you want to install the Nvidia driver for your large screen which means you are likely to run into the OOM error so you need to make the adjustments in grub. Do that and install the 6.0-oem kernel. You can install the latest 6.0-oem kernel with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install linux-oem-22.04b
and reboot. I have had quite a bit of feedback indicating the Nvidia drivers will install and load successfully with that kernel.

after install the new Kernel, reboot and using it I get this error messages:
And did the computer finish booting and you have graphics with the onboard Intel? Or did everything stop at that screen?

The first two messages relate to each other. I found a couple of others who had the same message, but I do not see an explanation of what it is.

The chip-ID: 10de:2704 from your earlier output indicates an RTX 4080 GPU. That is quite new so I am not surprised the open-source nouveau driver does not recognize it and says unknown chipset (the third message).

If you are not able to get into the system with the Intel graphics, I would think you could get in using either Recovery Mode or using the nomodeset kernel parameter (which is automatically used when you boot into Recovery Mode) so you can install the proprietary Nvidia-525 driver.

I installed the driver 525 now in the recoverymode -> rebooting and now when i start Linux Mint I get again the error: Out of space

I don't know if the Onbord-graficcard may causes the error- I can not disable it (PEG and IGD in Bios), its always running.

No, I do not think the onboard graphics is the issue.

Which change did you make to grub? Do you do the one in this post? If you did and it is not working, there are some other options to try.

so:

1. Starting repair defekt packages on recoverymode for Kernel 5.15.0.56
-> it loaded much and also Kernel 5.15.0.58

2. I updated the file:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs 
like it is described here: viewtopic.php?p=2230013#p2230013
(zstd) compress="zstd -q -19 -T0" ;;)

After reboot:
Starting with Kernel 6 : Out of memory
Recoverymode for Linux Mint with Kernel 6 : Out of memory

Starting with Kernel 5.15.0.58 : Out of memory
Recoverymode for Linux Mint with Kernel 5.15.0.58 : Out of memory

Starting with Kernel 5.15.0.56: Successful

Driver 525.78.0.1. is running but not detecting my Geforce 4080 correctly -> GPU Fans running fast and no information are visible on the nvidia tool.


So I think its better to wait until Linux Mint comes with Kernel 6 and the new nvidia driver is a fix part of the PPA.
