Hey! I can’t seem to get the NVIDIA driver on my Ubuntu machine to work. This happened after installing the 6.0 kernel, through Ubuntu Mainline. I’m back at 5.19.11, but can’t install the nvidia driver. I’ve tried many proposed things, but always with the same result. This is the output I get running sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515:

Thanks for any help!
Here it is
make.log (36.0 KB)
The kernel was compiled with gcc 12.2 so the headers are incompatible. Please use the liquorix ppa get get a compatible kernel.
I installed nvidia 515, but it gave the same error (I think) for the 6.0 kernel and won’t work with that.
But, it is working with kernel 5.19, which seems to also be built with gcc 12.2 . The make.log says that the kernel was built with 12.1.0, but cat /proc/version says 12.2.0 so I don’t know why it would work with one but not the other for me if gcc being version 11 is important. nvidia 520 doesn’t seem to work with either.
Is there a place where I can find the 520 nvidia driver built with a current gcc version so it will work with an up to date kernel?
nvidia driver 515.76
$ cat /proc/version

Hi @generix,
I am facing a similar problem to this thread and would appreciate if you can help me solve it. I want to install the nvidia driver but I receive this error

I am new to linux and working with gpu is needed… at first I was trying to install cuda 118 but it was conflicting with another version that was not probably uninstalled. After going through many trials and solutions I think managed to clean all installations and I installed nvidia driver (the recommended was nvidia-driver-470) and then followed the steps on the official website to install cuda 11.8
after installing cuda11-8 I found the nvidia drivers were deleted and reverted back to the novoeu version and I am undable to install any nvidia version since
I also attached the make.log file in case it helps… thanks in advance

Well my problem is now fixed…for anyone if it helps
I tried to unistall and reinstall again a different version of nvidia …removed nvidia 515 and replaced it with 535 version.
what I used were these commands
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libnvidia-common-515 libnvidia-gl-515 nvidia-driver-515
I am not sure what was the problem but it is working now when I check with
nvidia-smi or nvcc --version
both return the expected output of nvidia driver and cuda version
And Using torch is going well also
However I am unaware of the status of the nvidia-dkms-<version_number> package or whether this issue will appear again
