Chiming in I’m also seeing this in dmesg, usually in chunks of anywhere from 1-15 lines consecutively. I have two RTX 3090 cards from ASUS, using nvidia-driver-525 on Ubuntu 21.10.

Here’s one chunk as an example:

If it helps, I tested the in 22.10 with the 525.78 Driver, where this issue was showing for me, and at the moment of updating to the 525.85 the problem went away.

I’m seeing this on Ubuntu 23.04 with 530.41.03 driver. Running Xorg because Wayland got completely unusable after distribution upgrade and driver update.

Amrit described this in the other thread you posted in: Ubuntu 21.10 - "Failed to grab modeset ownership" with 495.44 - #37 by amrits

The issue here is that any application opening one of the /dev/dri/card* device files automatically attempts to get DRI “master” permission. In the NVIDIA driver model, that tries to get “modeset ownership” on the corresponding GPU. If another driver component already has modeset ownership, then getting “master” fails and prints this message.

This happens even if the application doesn’t want or need DRI master.
