Hello everybody,
I was wondering whether the 455.45.01 drivers fully supports 5.9 kernel yet, because I couldn’t find anything related to this in the release notes and if I read something about that it would take a while before the 5.9 kernel would be supported and that this wouldn’t be the case until half of November. Is this the driver that supports the 5.9 kernel?
I was able to run cuda but I had to patch the nvidia kernel driver in order to do it.

Is there a patch available to get it to work?
I also read about a patch that removes the GPL condom and would resolve the issue, but couldn’t find it. Is this patch available somewhere?
ah, there’s conflicting information about this online http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2857
It work without patching as well. I am now using it with cuda and Pytorch

and kernel 5.9.9
I’ve seen conflicting information everywhere and would like clarification from NVIDIA what the current status is, because I can’t take risks with production systems, but would like to upgrade the kernels to 5.9 and definitely 5.10 later on.
BUMP Would somebody from NVIDIA be so kind to provide a clear (somewhat official) answer to the question? I’m running kernel 5.8 (I need a minimum of 5.6 due to certain drivers that I need, so downgrading to the 5.4 LTS is not an option). There’s been several security related fixes in 5.9 and I’m still stuck 5.8.18…Is there an alternative / stable driver option (using a Quadro P1000 graphics card) with the 5.9 kernel?
P.S.: I’m using various specific features, which require the nvidia-uvm module to function correctly.
