Hi,
I’m facing issues to select the proper Nvidia driver on my machine running Ubuntu OS. The hardware is a Dell G15 laptop with GeForce RTX 4050 (Laptop GPU). On Windows 11 the second screen works fine, then it’s not a hardware issue, such as the HDMI port. However, on Ubuntu 22.04 the second screen is fully black in case of using nvidia-driver-565-server, or all yellow in case of using Xorg with X11 windowing system. I already tried other nvidia-driver versisons, such as 470, 535, 545, and 550, without success tough.
For all of the drivers I tried, when running the command nvidia-smi I got the error message “NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver…"
I also check the secure boot in the BIOS and it’s disabled.
The kernel version is 6.10.6-061006-generic. Please let me know in case of the solution to this issue is changing the kernel version.
I’m attaching the nvidia bug report here:
