Nvidia driver is installed but not correctly loaded (not in use).

Post by Hrabě »

Hello everybody,
I would appreciate your help (tips, hints ...), because I'm not able to solve it by myself. I'm sure this worked flawlesly before (switch between graphics cards).

Now it looks like this (after nvidia driver is installed):

Re: Nvidia driver is installed but not correctly loaded (not in use).

It appears that the Driver Manager screen is not actually installing the Nvidia 390.116 driver when you click the install button.

There is another way to do this, via the terminal:

Code: Select all

ubuntu-drivers
Which will show this:

Code: Select all

john@john-Desktop:/etc/cups/ppd$ ubuntu-drivers
usage: ubuntu-drivers [-h] [--package-list PATH]
                      [--gpgpu [driver[:version][,driver[:version]]]]
                      [--free-only]
                      [<command>]

List/install driver packages for Ubuntu.

positional arguments:
  <command>             See the "Available commands" section below

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --package-list PATH   Create file with list of installed packages (in
                        install mode)
  --gpgpu [driver[:version][,driver[:version]]]
                        Install GPGPU drivers
  --free-only           Only consider free packages

Available commands:
   list: Show all driver packages which apply to the current system.
   devices: Show all devices which need drivers, and which packages apply to them.
   install: Install drivers that are appropriate for your hardware.
   debug: Print all available information and debug data about drivers.
So enter

Code: Select all

ubuntu-drivers devices
It will take some time to reply, but it will come back with a recommended driver. That can be installed with:

Code: Select all

ubuntu-drivers install
Let us know what happens.

Thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately the result is the same like with installing throught GUI.

When the command sudo apt purge nvidia* was used, the nvidia-prime package, which is needed to switch GPUs, was also removed. Re-install that package: apt install --reinstall nvidia-prime

Reboot. If the Nvidia driver is still not loading, then use these commands and post the output:

Code: Select all

1. lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 -i "3D|VGA"
2. ls /lib/modprobe.d				
3. dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
4. mokutil --sb-state
5. Use this command to upload the Xorg.0.log file to terminal.com pastebin:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999

Post the URL link that displays in the Terminal window.

Re: Nvidia driver is installed but not correctly loaded (not in use).

Post by roblm »

The Nvidia driver installation failed to build the Nvidia kernel modules. This line:

Use this command to remove the Nvidia driver: apt remove nvidia-driver-390 --autoremove

Reboot and re-install the Nvidia driver: apt install nvidia-driver-390

Reboot and post the output of lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 -i "3D|VGA"

There was this error during driver installation:

Re: Nvidia driver is installed but not correctly loaded (not in use).

Post by roblm »

I was just going to post the same error message, from doing a test install of nvidia-driver-390 on a system using the 5.3.0-24 kernel.

The Nvidia 390.116 driver does not have support for the 5.3.0-24 kernel. You will need to use the 5.0 kernel.

The nvidia-driver-435 works but does not support your GeForce GT 750M GPU.

Now I'm on kernel:

Code: Select all

uname -r                                                                                                                                          
5.0.0-37-generic
This looks OK:

The Nvidia driver is not loading. With the Nvidia GPU selected, you should see these lines:

This is quite strange to me, after several restarts it looks it works now.

Everything looks OK.

I also tested the Nvidia 418.113 driver, which also supports your GPU, but it does not have support for the 5.3.0-24 kernel either.

Big thanks for your help. 

I think I will stay on 5.0 kernel for a while (If I'm not wrong Mint 19.3 was released with 5.0 kernel).

The last thing to do was install

Code: Select all

 apt install nvidia-prime-applet


BTW: As soon as I will have some time I'm going to write summary of this thread for others.

I made an error. The Nvidia 418.113 driver does have support for the 5.3.0-24 kernel.

If you need to use that kernel for all your hardware to work correctly, then check if that driver is available in Driver Manager. If not, install the graphics-drivers PPA:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
apt update-grub
Even with that PPA added, I don’t think it’s going to be listed. The other option is to download it from Nvidia’s website and use the instructions in this post, under the section:
How to install the Nvidia driver on an Optimus laptop (integrated Intel + Nvidia card)

viewtopic.php?f=59&t=154932&start=20#p847465

It’s more complicated because there is some manual configuration but it’s better than previous drivers.


EDITED: The Nvidia 390.129 driver also works with the 5.3 kernel and should be available in Driver Manager after adding the graphics-drivers PPA.

Now after adding PPA repo driver was updated to 390.129 and from now on I can use even kernel 5.3.

Driver Manager offers these drivers now:

Could you please send the link for NVIDIA Driver Downloads?
How can I find out which driver is compatible with specific kernel?

If you click on the plus sign next to a driver and read the Release Highlights, there will sometimes be some info about support for a particular kernel or X.Org X Server.

Most of the time it will be by trial and error unless you read about a driver installation problem in a forum, like the Nvidia Linux Graphics forum.
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/


Be prepared for a problem when a newer series kernel is used, for example, going from the 5.0 to 5.3 kernel.
When there is a problem after installing a driver through Driver Manager, then remove the driver and re-install it using the apt command-line method, where errors can be seen in the installation log.
Most of the time, you don't need to install the newest kernel if everything is working.

Hello, please excuse me for butting in, but I'm trying to solve a very similar problem.
In your post by Hrabě » Tue Dec 31, 2019 7:32 pm , "but I believe this is not OK" you have output as
