[SOLVED] Nvidia driver not loading; nvidia-dkms-510 not configured

[James2711]

Hello guys,
First of all, let me thank all of you kind experts who dedicate some of your time to help the lesser wise linux users. You deserve all the honors.

After installing LM 20.3 Cinnamon on my dell, I found out that the nvidia gpu driver wasn't loading at all, even after installing the proprietary recommended driver. I was using kernel 5.4.0, than after some frustrated attempts and panicking black screens, yesterday I built the kernel 5.13.0 to see if anything changes, just because 13 > 4, and I read somewhere that solved the problem for someone, but still the driver isn't even recognized. I noticed some error messages when installing the driver with command ubuntu-driver install, but of course I don't have a clue what to do to solve it.

After over a week grinding some solutions scattered in this awesome forum, couldn't find any that solved my case, so I thouht perhaps it's some specific detail in my machine that needs fixing. Also, since I work with this computer and one of my attempts inutilized it for a whole working day, I thought maybe it's time to ask for help to someone who actually knows what he/she is doing

Could anyone give me a hand on this? Gonna post some info it's usually requested on other similar posts, just in case.

[SMG]

After installing LM 20.3 Cinnamon on my dell, I found out that the nvidia gpu driver wasn't loading at all, even after installing the proprietary recommended driver.

Welcome to the forum, James2711

You have a dual-graphics (Intel/Nvidia) laptop. The default install puts the system in Intel-Powersave mode which means the Nvidia driver does not load. It is expected to see N/A in the inxi output when in that mode. Please see this post for an explanation of the difference between the Nvidia driver files being installed and them loading at boot time.

The part in blue is what one expects to see when the system is in Intel-Powersave mode.
Graphics:
Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 vendor: Dell driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 chip ID: 8086:3e9b
Device-2: NVIDIA TU116M [GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile] vendor: Dell driver: N/A bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:2191
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.13 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa alternate: nvidia
resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa 21.2.6 direct render: Yes

The part in red seems to indicate you may have created an xorg.conf file when you should not have done so.

Normally, all one has to do is use Driver Manager to install the recommended Nvidia driver (and reboot) and then change the nvidia-prime-applet to On-Demand or Nvidia-Performance mode and reboot the computer to see the Nvidia driver loaded. Nvidia-prime-applet is explained under the NVIDIA Optimus section in the Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon: New Features. In the graphic in that section the applet is the Intel icon. (It can be either an Intel or Nvidia icon.)

What is the output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If that file exists, please remove it with sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Do you have Secure Boot enabled on your computer? You can check by running mokutil --sb-state in a terminal. If it is enabled, it will block the Nvidia driver from loading at boot time if you have not created keys for it. I can provide you with instructions for creating keys if you need/want to have Secure Boot enabled.

yesterday I built the kernel 5.13.0 to see if anything changes

What does "I built the kernel" mean? There is no need to be building kernels. One uses the kernels which are in Update Manager. It appears you did not do that. I have no idea what kernel you installed, but recommend you boot into a 5.4 kernel and remove the 5.13 kernel you installed. (Let us know if you need instructions for doing that.)

System: Kernel: 5.13.0-051300-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: Cinnamon 5.2.7 wm: muffin 5.2.1
dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal

After doing that, install a 5.13 kernel from Update Manager. I recommend that for 8th-gen Intel and newer CPUs.

• Open Update Manager.
• Select View > Linux Kernels and click Continue.
• Make sure 5.13 is selected on the left panel and then click 5.13.0-41 on the right panel. An "Install" button will appear.
• Install the kernel and then reboot for it to become active.

Then please open Driver Manager and let us know what driver is showing as installed. There were error messages in your attempt to install from the command line and I'm not sure if that is solely because you do not have the correct kernel installed or if there might be other reasons.

[James2711]

Thank you SMG, the learning curve in this forum is steep!

Please see this post for an explanation of the difference between the Nvidia driver files being installed and them loading at boot time.

That's a great analogy with the car, it's crystal clear now.

What is the output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If that file exists, please remove it with sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

I removed xorg.conf with the command you told me. Nonetheless, this is the output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

In the graphic in that section the applet is the Intel icon. (It can be either an Intel or Nvidia icon.)

I added that applet (it's showing an Intel icon for me), but when I open it, it's just a blank window.

Do you have Secure Boot enabled on your computer? You can check by running mokutil --sb-state in a terminal. If it is enabled, it will block the Nvidia driver from loading at boot time if you have not created keys for it. I can provide you with instructions for creating keys if you need/want to have Secure Boot enabled.

I disabled Secure Boot earlier in one of my attempts to solve this, and I don't think I'll need it, so I'll just keep it disabled for now.

Code: Select all

thiagoand@Toplap:~$ mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot disabled

What does "I built the kernel" mean?

My apologies, I used the wrong verb, I'm certainly not able to build a Kernel, at most I can build a lego tower, but that's it. I meant 'install', and to do it I used Mainline, but I've just learned from you there is no need for it, as I can manage kernels with the Update Manager. So I followed you instructions, and now I've installed a 5.13.0-41 Kernel.

Then please open Driver Manager and let us know what driver is showing as installed. There were error messages in your attempt to install from the command line and I'm not sure if that is solely because you do not have the correct kernel installed or if there might be other reasons.

I've purged nvidia files with sudo apt-get purge nvidia* then reinstalled the recommended proprietary driver nvidia-driver-510.

I removed xorg.conf with the command you told me. Nonetheless, this is the output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

If you take a look at that file, you'll see there is no mention of Intel or i915 in it. That means it does not work properly for a dual-graphics laptop like you have. There are other ways to set Coolbits if you want/need to do that.

I added that applet (it's showing an Intel icon for me), but when I open it, it's just a blank window.

What did you add? (Some people have mistakenly added a Cinnamon spice with a similar name. That spice applet does not work properly.)

You can install the applet with sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime-applet

I've purged nvidia files with sudo apt-get purge nvidia* then reinstalled the recommended proprietary driver nvidia-driver-510.

One should not really use that command to remove Nvidia drivers on a dual-graphics laptop. You really just want to remove the specific driver you installed and not everything. That explains why you didn't have the nvidia-prime-applet that should have been on your system.

Linux Mint makes it extremely easy to add Nvidia drivers by using Driver Manager. Driver Manager also shows what driver the system thinks is installed. That is why I asked you to open Driver Manager and let us what it indicates. That will help in the investigation.

Please also provide the output dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia

You are correct that On-Demand should show the Nvidia driver, but you've been doing quite a few terminal commands instead of using the GUI tools so we will need to investigate further.

it solved the blank nvidia settings gui

Hopefully, you did not save any changes in that GUI. Saving changes can create an xorg.conf file that might cause problems.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Living and learning. Never again

Ok, since I don't know how to show you that with terminal, I'm pasting a screenshot of it [which I just recently learned how to do in the forum ].

Hopefully, you did not save any changes in that GUI. Saving changes can create an xorg.conf file that might cause problems.

Luckily I just saw it was showing things and closed it. Here's another print of what it is, in case it is not what should be (because I saw some other posts showing different options on nvidia settings GUI)

I added this
nvidia applet.png

I am not familiar with that applet.

Your package listing indicates you do have the nvidia-prime-applet installed.

Code: Select all

ii  nvidia-prime-applet                     1.3.1                                  all          An applet for NVIDIA Prime

I'm not sure if that is the Intel icon you mentioned in the prior post or not. You will probably find out for sure after you remove Bumblebee. The applet is a Linux Mint file designed specifically for switching. After changing to a different setting, you would need to reboot for the change to take effect.

Your nvidia package output is showing why Nvidia is not loading. You installed the old, outdated Bumblebee technology instead of just using the in-built nvidia-prime-applet code. Bumblebee/bbswitch is known to cause problems on Linux Mint.

Use this command to make sure all of Bumblebee is removed: sudo apt-get purge bumblebee* primus* and then reboot and I would expect the Nvidia driver will now load.

Did you need CUDA? It appears all the CUDA 10.1 files installed. Many people need a newer CUDA version than that which is why I ask.

I do not know how those two Nvidia-470 files got in there, but I do not expect them to cause any problems (especially since one is for the 5.4 kernel).

Luckily I just saw it was showing things and closed it. Here's another print of what it is, in case it is not what should be (because I saw some other posts showing different options on nvidia settings GUI)

You will eventually be able to see more information than that after we get your system running properly.

SMG, IT WORKED! you remotely solved a problem I'm weeks trying to, I can't emphasize enough how happy I am haha!
As you might've noticed I've been weeks 'working' ('working' as in 'messing entirely with the OS') on a solution for this, and you got it. At first I opened a terminal and entered that command sudo apt-get purge bumblebee* primus* but then all windows got unresponsive, so I pressed ctrl+alt+f1 (a command I learned during this campaign) and tryied it again and then rebooted, and bum, it didn't got stuck with a flashing dash in a black window.

That Intel icon I mentioned does exactly what you said, gives me switching option and the possibility to acces some information about the graphic card, like thermal settings.

That other applet you weren't familiar with showed my an error after removing bumblebee, and since it showed exactly the same GUI as the Intel icon, I removed it too. Here's a print of it:

It's now a working OS with on-demand nvidia GPU Card. nvidia-smi now doesn't show an error output, and inxi -G shows a driver:

Did you need CUDA? It appears all the CUDA 10.1 files installed. Many people need a newer CUDA version than that which is why I ask.

As for CUDA, I really don't think I use it as I had to search on the internet what's that about. I saw it's sort of a development tool, so I really won't use that. I probably installed it in a desperate move late at night. Same for the two Nvidia-470 files, cause when I started trying to solve this I was was running on 5.4 kernel.

You will eventually be able to see more information than that after we get your system running properly.

Yes, now it's looking more like others I found here in the forum.

You made my night.. nah, my week. Happy comrade here. Hopefully this thread will help others too.
I wish you the best, regards from sweaty Brazil
