EVGA RMA/Drivers problem.

Also. I think I messed up my system when I was trying to delete the software nvidia server settings. The install is bad. It launches but it's broken. nvidiasettings.png

Were you trying to install Nvidia again? I'm familiar with that empty box for Nvidia Server settings (and possible fixes), but you should not have it if you are running nouveau.

I'm going through the Xorg log right now.

Hey I found out why my HD is overloaded. I accidentally downloaded like 40gigs of fotos from my phone to it thinking it was going to my NAS. I can work to solve that prob so os runs smoother.

That will definitely help. Ideally, you want to be less than 75% full. SSDs/NVMEs run better when they have free space available.

ok here it is.
Xorg log.

It appears you have a custom xorg.conf file.

Code: Select all

[    25.753] (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
...
[    25.761] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)

My guess is that file mentions using nvidia which is not installed and that is why the error happens. I would suggest either removing it with sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf or renaming it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old so it is not used.

The system is loading drivers for both GPUs (Intel and Nvidia), but there are problems.

Code: Select all

[    26.316] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Failed to initialise context object: 2D_NVC0 (0)
[    26.316] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error initialising acceleration.  Falling back to NoAccel
...
[    26.318] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[    26.318] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

My suggestion is to clear out the custom xorg and make sure nouveau works and then attempt the Nvidia driver install. I think there may be "leftovers" from your prior system that are causing issues.

Wow thanks so much for helping me trouble shoot. This is all alien to me and seems so, "Trekkie" to me.

OK GOOD. Will work on this as soon as I get a back up drive.

By clear out, you mean by running sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf correct? I did that.

.. and then attempt the Nvidia driver install.

So I rebooted and Driver mngr popsup fast looking like this..

So it is already installed?
I then click nouveu. apply settings. and get..

I am too full for leftovers, how do we purge them from my system? I need my mint to throw up .

I can give you a terminal command to clear out all the nvidia files, but LM19 is not set up to automatically install the nouveau driver if no Nvidia files are installed. That means you would have to go the nomodeset kernel parameter route.

The easier way to do this would be to switch to the nouveau driver and then run the command. Will it let you switch to the nouveau driver?

Now having update mngr problems.

These problems might all be related. Let's see if we can get the graphics working first.

I do not know what that means.

I open driver manager and it loads and says, "Your computer does not need any additional drivers". I do not know how to switch to the nouveau driver. Nor do I know what driver is being used now for gpu.

ok sounds good. What do I need to do now?

[SMG]

According to the screenshot you posted, in Driver Manager right now the Nvidia 470 is selected. Just click on the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau option. You will have to install the driver and then reboot for it to become active.

After you do that, provide the output of inxi -Gx.

I do not know how to click on nouveau because there is no option to do that. all driver mngr says is your computer does not need any additional drivers.

You are not able to place your mouse over the round circle for nouveau and click on it to change the driver? If not, we will have to go to plan B.

Where do I place mouse over the radial button circle?

I open driver manager.
It says, "Looking for hardware drivers"...
Then it says,
"Your computer does not need any additional drivers." with a big black check mark.
It does not pop open the choice of drivers anymore.

I did not realize you were no longer getting the info in the screenshot you posted earlier in the topic. Let me put together a plan B.

We might have to address this first. Looking back through your posts, this seems to be the point at which Driver Manager output changed.

Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian so use the first set of instructions "Reinstalling Broken Packages on Debian" on this link How to Find and Fix Broken Packages on Linux. If you have any questions about the steps, let us know. You would be typing what is in the boxes. The explanation for what is being done is just above each box.

[ThaCrip]

a small side note... unless the OP has a lot of stuff to reconfigure, it's probably best to just wipe the drive and install Mint v20.2 from scratch. this would have likely took less time at this point and seems likely it would fix the issue since nothing would be broken then.

but with that said... if you want to continue attempting to fix it, it's your call

[SMG]

The long repo list in the inxi output would seem to indicate there would be quite a bit to reconfigure. This was not a fresh install of Mint. This was an existing install where only the GPU was changed. The OP is awaiting a spare drive so some of what is filling the current drive can be off-loaded to make room.

Here is step 1 and step 2 followed. I did not get to step 3 yet. because I auto removed per the directive. sudo apt autoremove and there was some errors.

Here is step 1 and step 2 followed. I did not get to step 3 yet. because I auto removed per the directive. sudo apt autoremove and there was some errors.

Going through the output, it appears you did do step 3. However, there were additional directions after you completed it.

This output appears to be better than the one you listed in your third post when you ran this earlier.

The below were the only "errors" I saw. According to this post, "os-prober running against my Windows 10 dynamic disk was definitely the culprit."

Code: Select all

error: invalid volume.
error: invalid volume.
error: invalid volume.

According to info earlier in that same topic, the person indicated the errors did not seem to be resulting in any issue.

Do you have a Realtek wireless device? It seems the driver module for it was removed in this process for both the 4.15 and 5.4 kernels.

Code: Select all

dkms: removing: rtl8821ce v5.5.2_34066.20190614 (4.15.0-162-generic) (x86_64)
dkms: removing: rtl8821ce v5.5.2_34066.20190614 (5.4.0-89-generic) (x86_64)

Try running Update Manager now and see if it works. (If you still have a working internet connection.)

Yes I am not sure about it. I do have a NAS that sometimes I can connect to sometimes not using synology drive client

Only wireless I have is a wifi one I took out since I could not get it to work, so now I am cat 5 hardline connected to the net.

I did and it says no update needed.

I did and it says no update needed.

That sounds better than getting an error message.

Are you able to see any options in Driver Manager now?

DM does not even launch now. I am going to try and connect 3 monitors again.
