Nvidia Gp107 Driver
Hebe Zuelke
When I choose to install any of the nvidia drivers on the additional drivers list (in the Software & Updates). I get a system which I can just use in line mode (no grapics at all).I can only use:X.Org Xserver -- Nouveau display driver from xserver-org-video-nouveau
I have finally made the move over to Arch (having used EndeavourOS for quite a bit and before that Garuda and Manjaro).
Installation and everything went smooth; however, I am unable to get the Nvidia drivers to work with the Zen Kernel. The regular Linux Kernel works nice.
I follow the instructions here in the Wiki to install the drivers. Basically, installing the linux-zen-headers and the nvidia-dkms and nvidia-utils packages. I also installed the dkms package and lib32-nvidia. Finally I recreated initframfs using using mkinitcpio -P and then rebooted.
I have tried removing the kms HOOK in in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, but that does not change anything.. so I am out of ideas for now... it must be something really stupid, but I have no idea, what it could be.
I know.. they should be both installed.. I have removed everything Nvidia related now and gonna reinstall it one by one again.. just to make sure I didn't miss anything.. also installed some of the missing firmaware..
I will report back shortly. Got a reboot coming up.
Hi, have been running Solus with Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 430.26 with great success (nvidia-smi is useful for load/temp monitoring). It's giving noticably low fps in certain scenes of some games so I've just purchased a second hand AMD RX580.
Rather than the default and games-wise a bit slow os driver and then nvidia's driver there appear to be a number of AMD card drivers. amdgpu-pro, amdgpu-open, amdvlk, mesa.. it seems the open source mesa drivers are pretty good for gaming nowadays? (initial impression from having read on the Phoronix site).
-What driver is the best for fps in somewhat demanding games?
-Is there a driver that comes with something like nvidia-smi for querying about load, vram usage and gpu temp? (I think not)
-What is the best way of going about doing this gpu replacement, i.e can I just shut the machine down, switch the hardware, power it up, see enough interface in order to install your recommended driver?
Jacalz Well I shut down, replaced the graphics cards, started up...to black screen and blinking cursor. Luckily this is what happened the first time I installed (with the Nvidia card) and that one is well documented. Got to a terminal the same way, alt+f2.
One of the main reasons for the transition to Solus is an excellent support for hardware from Amd.
In particular, my video card Radeon 530.
Unlike the rest of the distros, where the sufferings started when the games started.
As an example Arch Linux. What I just did not do, which only the driver did not put - Solus was more productive.
Shot a video about it In Russian.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa1Wo3ira0c
What such developers Solus filed me and is unknown. But the graphics work fine!
Sorry for my English.
Today I received some updates on nvidia drivers (Leap.2), and after that the resolutions break.
It is lock as 640*480. nvidia-setting doesnt start, and nvidia-smi said the library/driver not match.
It seems all nvidia packages will be removed, do you mean only remove nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default but keep others, how to do it?
Or do you mean completely remove nvidia and re-installed it?
Hello
I want to switch from windows 10 to linux soon. I ran garuda linux on live usb with nvidia drivers but the system didn't boot, then i rebooted and booted with open source drivers and everything worked. The question is how do I fix the error with these drivers? I will add that a few days ago I installed Manjaro linux on a friend's laptop and the nvidia drivers worked.
Well, although you might have driver issues you could start a Live version already. As it is stated in the posting template for this forum, you need to provide us the output of garuda-inxi.
Otherwise it will be more like an guess and hit or rather miss than a proper assistance.
on the start of the code output and tildes at the end, for a better
readability. Don't worry about the fact that the garuda-inxi gives you a ton of output. Simply copy paste it between the three tildes as just said and everyone can have a good read and will be able to help ya.
@Vejr0nPl I encourage you to complete the installation with open-source drivers, then install Nvidia drivers after the fact. From within the live environment it is impossible to make any changes that will help the driver installation succeed.
Yes, and it failed. And then I tried to manually install the drivers through the file from the nvidia website, but after adding the nouveau driver to the blacklist, the system did not start and I did not know how to install the drivers further
Looks like I have lost multiple monitor functionality on my Windows 10 VM. I was running version 6.9 of Unraid and all was working perfectly. Two 1080p monitors and a Epson Projector. While I was away it looks like a power failure occurred that lasted over 20 minutes upon which time my UPS shutdown. Upon restart Unraid started up OK but my Win10 VM was no longer functional. Anyway upon logging in to the GUI Unraid flagged that I was running an unsupported version of Unraid and recommended upgrade to latest version which I did. Reboot and everything looked OK. VM still would not start. Then realizing my VirtIO was probably out of date I upgraded to virtio-win-0.1.225-1.iso. I tried restarting the VM, no joy.
Tried rebooting and it worked. Windows 10 started OK, but only had one monitor. I installed the latest Nvidia drivers for the 1050 graphics card and still no joy, only one monitor of the three works. Opened the Nvidia control panel and clicked on multiple monitors and it shows the 3 connected monitors with an option to select the other two monitors besides the working one.
BTW I updated all the drivers on the new virtio iso, EXCEPT the Balloon drivers. Could not find how to do that one. I did see somewhere on the forums that you will see under Device Manager and entry for Other devices, but I do not see that. How to update the Balloon drivers?
Have not been able to get video working with the video card ever since, rebooted the server several times, same result, even powered down the server just in case the video needed full power off, no joy.
Here is a snippet form the current XML for video and associated sound. Note there is no multi-function parameter included which I had to add previously as per SpaceInvaderOne's video instructions for a Windows 10 VM. I note that his recent video for Windows 11 makes no mention of hand-editing the XML, he just selects the Video Card and assoicated sound, clicks update and starts the VM no problem. Hence my qestion, is this not a problem now? Or is there some work-around 'under the hood' we are not seeing. Here is the XML snippet for Video and associated sound:
4. In the VM in 3.) above I was working without passing through the vbios. Wanted to keep the variables to the minimum and then add back in if 3-monitor support was working. I will try it again with passed thru bios, Attached below.
6. I was thinking about installing a Linux VM and seeing if that might work with 3-monitor support. I don't know if Linux (say Ubuntu) will auto-detect or revert to a basic resolution if no Nvidia Gforce 1050 drivers are present when Ubuntu starts. Windows will automatically detect the video card being added and load the appropriate drivers. I have checked Nvidia's website and they do have drivers available for Linux. I would setup Linux via the VNC access through the VM, then once setup and working OK then add the 1050 with sound, edit xml and restart and see what happens. Will report when complete.
I would suggest to completely uninstall nvidia drivers with ddu and try to install them again, maybe testing different versions, starting with the version that works on bare metal. Make sure to first delete all nvidia devices (even hidden ones) in windows device manager too.
I installed the 515 nvidia drivers had to remove xanmod kernel it installed. But refresh rate defaulted to 77hz on a 240hz with no possibility to change was using x11 not wayland but nvidia x settings did not work only showed a few options.
I sorted out the issues with nVidia drivers on Ubuntu.
The black screen with blinking cursor occured when not installing nVidia drivers during a new system install but afterwards and not using the tested drivers but downloading them from nVidia, or when the nVidia driver is already installed and some system updates/upgrades are performed.
You will find more details in this launchpad issue.
When ever facing the black screen issue, then boot in recovery mode however is possible and remove/reinstall the tested drivers.
For the time being this is the commands to apply as it was proposed to me, and it worked:
So my experience has been frustrating. I had an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290. When I first upgraded to Ubuntu 20, I spent hours trying to figure out how to install the driver. After about 3 days of experimenting and trying I was finally able to build and install the NVIDIA proprietary driver from the root shell. However, I had to continually rebuild and reinstall the driver every time the kernel was updated. I finally got into a pretty good rhythm and I could re-build and re-install the driver before the reboot after a kernel upgrade and that worked well. Eventually, the Ubuntu installer started doing the rebuild automatically as part of the kernel upgrade. It was lovely.
If anyone can spot something I am doing wrong, or other things to check, please let me know. Most solutions on similar threads I think are covered above with no luck, or not relevant (e.g. old card model).
