Can't run any program via NVIDIA card

Graphics / Linux Linux
1

I installed GPU drivers from NVIDIA repository (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=OpenSUSE&target_version=15&target_type=rpmnetwork) by using “sudo zypper install -y cuda” command.

If I run this “NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep vendor” command I get an error:

user@localhost:~> __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOPreformatted textR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep vendor
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  39
  Current serial number in output stream:  40.

But if I run “lsmod | grep nvidia” command I can see that driver is seems to be running. Output:

user@localhost:~> lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_drm             65536  0
nvidia_modeset       1232896  1 nvidia_drm

Also here is the output of the “nvidia-smi” command:

Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post.

Attached.

The driver loads too late, please try embedding it into the initrd using the add_drivers+ option in /etc/dracut.conf and recreating the initrd.

Still don’t work
Now my 60-nvidia-default.conf in /etc/dracut.conf.d looks like this:

#line omit_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm " is a default one
omit_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm "
add_drivers+=" nvidia "
add_drivers+=" nvidia_uvm "
add_drivers+=" nvidia_modeset "
add_drivers+=" drm "
add_drivers+=" drm_kms_helper "
add_drivers+=" nvidia_drm "

Did I do something wrong ?

7

The omit_drivers line has to be commented, it disables the nvidia drivers from being added to the initrd. so the file should look like

#omit_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm "
add_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia-uvm "

and then run sudo dracut -f

It works ! It fixed the problem.
Thank you so much!

Hello,

I have the same problem as OP and I do not have a dracut file. Ubuntu 20.04.

The Xserver is running correctly on the nvidia gpu. Steam is 32bit, so you need to have the 32bit compatibility libs installed. How did you install the driver?

11

wget -O /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600 https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu1804.pin
$ sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
$ sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/ /”
$ sudo apt install cuda

I see, only the 64bit was installed. Now to find the 32bit installer.

12

If no easy way exists to have both 32 and 64 bit installed, I believe I found flatpak has Steam. Going to try that in a VM.

The flatpak gave error. :(

Software & Update:

I work on this later today.

Thanks @generix . I followed this and now all is working: https://gist.github.com/kmhofmann/cee7c0053da8cc09d62d74a6a4c1c5e4. I did not install cuDNN.

By installing the full cuda bundle, you installed the compute driver, which doesn’t have the 32bit compatibility libs. You need to install the graphics driver from Ubuntu’s software&Updates.
