I execute ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.105.01.run --no-cc-version-check on ubuntu, A40 machine (Data Center Driver for Linux x64 | 515.105.01 | Linux 64-bit | NVIDIA) , the driver is downloaded from the official website, but an error is reported, and the error message is as follows:
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module ‘nvidia.ko’. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs
from the one used to build the target kernel, or if another driver, such as nouveau, is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA device(s), or no NVIDIA device
installed in this system is supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release.
Please see the log entries ‘Kernel module load error’ and ‘Kernel messages’ at the end of the file ‘/var/log/nvidia-installer.log’ for more information.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file ‘/var/log/nvidia-installer.log’ for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download
page at www.nvidia.com.
I don’t know how to solve this problem please help me
[ 3994.127437] NVRM: The NVIDIA GPU 0000:02:01.0 (PCI ID: 10de:2235)
NVRM: installed in this system is not supported by the
NVRM: NVIDIA 515.105.01 driver release.
NVRM: Please see ‘Appendix A - Supported NVIDIA GPU Products’
NVRM: in this release’s README, available on the operating system
NVRM: specific graphics driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
Looking at the Supported GPUs section of the driver, shows the card should be supported.
thank you for your reply. I downloaded the 515. graphics card driver from the official website. do you mean that this problem cannot be installed is it caused by a bug in the official graphics card driver itself?
It’s more likely that the conditions outlined in the first ERROR message have been not been met and that the error contained at the end of the log - GPU not supported, is a result of nvidia.ko not loading.
Looking some more at the 515 release notes I linked above, in the section, " Supported Operating Systems for NVIDIA Data Center GPUs", it states that only Ubuntu 20.04.x where x <= 5 are supported and your system is using Ubuntu 20.04.6. This may be why versions of kernel source or gcc don’t match.
