The main objective is to work with an eGPU to accelerate processes
specifically, train neural networks in tensorflow and anaconda 3 ( python)
my system:
Mac book Pro 2017 + Razer CoreX with Geforce RTX2080 super.
I made a disk partition to install ubuntu 18.04.
I have been installing drivers, Cudo, etc. for months. and it does not recognize the egpu (I have no image in the HDMI) and tensorflow does not recognize it.
when i use these commands:
1.-
nvidia-settings
ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
2.-
sudo prime-select nvidia
Info: the nvidia profile is already set
3./
nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

please help me I’m a little desperate…
I’m not a Linux expert, only user
thanks
Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post. You will have to rename the file ending to something else since the forum software doesn’t accept .gz files (nifty!).
thiis iis the file

Please try booting with kernel parameter
pci=realloc
I reboot with GRUB menu and press “e”, but did not find the pci parameter…
is this procedure correct?
note: I always have to turn off and disconnect the eGPU before reboot. if I don’t turn it off it won’t initialize
Yes. Save, then run
sudo update-grub
and reboot. Afterwards, create a new nvidia-bug-report.log
This doesn’t look like it was correctly added, the whole cmdline with “quiet splash” now vanished.
new report (3)
nvidia-bug-report3.log (969.7 KB)
i repeated the procedure
nvidia-bug-report4.log (890.8 KB)
You can use
cat /proc/cmdline
to output the current kernel parameters.
$ cat/proc/cmdline
bash: cat/proc/cmdline: No such file or directory
Can I reinstall ubuntu and repeat the procedure … wait…
Ok, generix, I reinstall ubuntu 18.04
and recheck…

nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Please set pci=realloc in kernel commandline.
Afterwards,
cat /proc/cmdline
should contain it. There’s a space between ‘cat’ and’/proc/cmdline’
hahahaha, im stupid… sorry generix…
i did it:
cat /proc/cmdline

and again:
nvidia-settings

i connect de eGPU and fans spin faster …but I have no image on the external monitor *(HDMI connection)

The parameter is correctly set now. The bug report you attached didn’t show any nvidia gpu attached over thunderbolt, did you forget to power it on?
Please try connecting the egpu before turning on the macbook and check if you can boot.
