Hi all - I am on a dell xps with a GeForce GTX 1650.
I am having a problem where if I try to boot with nvidia I get stuck on the login window (can’t move mouse, can’t see the user). If I boot into a recovery mode root shell, nvidia-smi recognized the gpu correctly. But then I have to switch to intel to log in, and nvidia-smi returns:
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
nvidia-settings -q all
ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
I already:
- disabled secure boot;
- purge nvidia* cuda* and did a clean install of drivers 430, 440, 450 and got the same error;
- tried disabling wayland;
- removed every nvidia blacklist from lib/modprobe.d/*;
I would appreciate the help because I really dont know what to try next. A few concerning messages from the log (linked below):
error related to driver 390 even tho I only installed 440
