Is this an issue on Holoscan? I’m moving this topic to Holoscan for better support.

[bill58]

The issue is Deepstream as I am developing for Holoscan for Media SDK. Deepstream is the primary focus. I’m trying to get started and can’t get past the initial driver install.

[yingliu]

I’m not familiar with the driver installation on Holoscan, but the issue seems to be a mismatch between driver and nvidia-utils, you can check the exact version of nvidia-utils-xxx, xxx should be the same as the driver you installed.

[bill58]

ls /usr/share/nvidia/
nvidia-application-profiles-545.23.08-key-documentation nvoptix.bin
nvidia-application-profiles-545.23.08-rc

This is the driver package I installed.
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.146.02.run

I tried installing nvidia-utils-545
Also I switched to nvidia-utils-535

Neither solved the problem.

My computer apparently is using HDMI adaptor and not NVidia RTX 6000

[bill58]

I uninstalled and reintalled nvidia-driver-545
and rebooted

This is the driver downloaded from the NVidia driver website.

I tried both versions.

Hi @bill58

@bill58

bill@bill-holoscan:~$ lspci | egrep ‘VGA|3D’
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation AlderLake-S GT1 (rev 0c)

As long as your RTX GPU is not recognized by your Hardware, no driver version will fix anything.

First check that your GPU is actually properly installed, connected to a sufficient power supply, has proper cooling, etc.

If the GPU is listed in PCI devices, things should clear up.

Thanks

I figured out the magic incantation to solve:

“WARNING: You do not appear to have an NVIDIA GPU supported by the 535.146.02 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver installed in this system.”

No drivers are in Software & Updates → Additional Drivers

There were three issues:

1. This driver needs to be installed with Xorg off/stopped
2. The Nvidia Kernel was build with a different version of the compiler
3. various libraries were missing

To fix #1 you need to install and configure ssh so you can log in from another computer

If you have a problem, and would like assistance, please follow these steps: Please always include a detailed description of the problem (both when starting a new thread and when posting to existing threads), as distinct problems can have nearly identical symptoms (e.g. black screens, hung X servers, …). Reliable reproduction steps are especially useful. If you post a reply reading “I have the same problem” in response to another user’s bug report without the information requested in this pos…

To find out what else you need to do run nvidia-bug-report.sh

And review carefully nvidia-bug-report.log.gz and /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

Install Ubuntu 22.04.3.LTS

Use FireFox to Download the latest version of driver
