1. Starting repair defekt packages on recoverymode for Kernel 5.15.0.56

2. I updated the file:

like it is described here: viewtopic.php?p=2230013#p2230013

I do not know if this is a typo on your part in this post, but that line is not supposed to start with (. It is supposed to be

Code: Select all

zstd)   compress="zstd -q -19 -T0" ;;

If that is not working, the other change you could try is this one. To make that change, you would modify /etc/default/grub to change this line

Code: Select all

#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

to

Code: Select all

GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600

(remove the # and change the values) and then run

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

and then boot with a newer kernel which has the proper drivers for your hardware.

If no information is visible on the Nvidia tool, then the driver is not running properly. Please supply the output of

The earliest that Linux Mint comes with kernel 6 will be some time this summer and maybe not even then. I have helped many people who are already using Kernel 6 and Nvidia drivers. You do not have to wait if you want to run your system now.

Hi,

after this

Starting Linux Mint with Kernel 6 and 5.15.0.58 : Out of memory
The same on the recovery mode.

Kernel 5.15.0.56 works, but now I have also in Linux Mint the resolution: 800x600

Don't know which problem the newer kernel has and how to fix that. Obviously makes the changes nothing for it, only for the standard-old one.

That is because there are no graphics drivers loaded (not Nvidia or Intel). The 5.15 kernels are too old to have the necessary drivers for your new CPU.

We might be able to see what the problem is if you manually install the Nvidia driver instead of using Driver Manager.

Run the following

Code: Select all

apt remove nvidia-driver-525

and then

Code: Select all

apt autoremove

and then re-install it and post all the output here

Code: Select all

apt install nvidia-driver-525

Do NOT reboot after re-installing the driver because it is likely there will be errors. (At least I'm hoping there will be errors which might explain what is happening.)

Martin2p · Post by **Martin2p** » Mon Jan 30, 2023 3:59 pm

When I make a conclusion so people with this problem have to:

1. Install a new Kernel (6.xxxx)
2. Install the graphic card driver manuell and not with the distribution driver tool.

+ maybe edit this file

Code: Select all

sudo nano /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs

Right?

At least as long as the new Nvidia driver 528 is not a part of the PPA, I thinkt so.

It really depends on the hardware what the best approach is.

Martin2p wrote: ⤴Mon Jan 30, 2023 3:59 pm1. Install a new Kernel (6.xxxx)

I gave you a specific kernel from the Ubuntu repositories that I knew worked with Nvidia drivers and LM21.1.

The 6.0-oem kernel worked fine for you, but someone else I'm helping tried a different kernel, the 6.1-oem kernel, and they had to install a different version gcc (than what comes with LM21 versions) in order to get it to work.

Martin2p wrote: ⤴Mon Jan 30, 2023 3:59 pm2. Install the graphic card driver manuell and not with the distribution driver tool.

The way you installed the driver "manually" is the same driver that the Driver Tool installs. They come from the same repository. Installing it manually just gives more details on what is happening so if there is a problem then one is more likely to see there errors. There is no difference in the driver. I'm not sure what happened when you installed it from Driver Manager.

Editing either that or grub seems to be fixing most "out of memory" errors.

I'm going to be updating the Tips for Troubleshooting Graphics Issues (including external monitors not working) and will probably add the suggestions about "out of memory" errors because it has been coming up a lot with LM21 versions and it seems to mostly strike those using Nvidia proprietary drivers.
