NVIDIA Driver 510 not working for RTX 30

Graphics / Linux Linux
1

Hello,

I recently installed the recommended proprietary NVIDIA graphics driver (510) for my PC. The installation went through but I cannot switch the graphics card from INTEL to NVIDIA.

Whenever I try running nvidia-smi, i get the following message: “No devices were found”
Whenever I try running nvidia-settings, i get the following message:

nvidia-settings error
nvidia-settings error744×531 63.1 KB

I disabled secure boot and blacklisted the nonveau driver. I have been trying to solve this problem for past 3 days and nothing seems to be working. Any help will be highly appreciated.

I have attached a bug report with this query.

According to the log, secure boot is still enabled
sudo dmesg |grep secure

Hi,
I ran the command listed in above comment and it says secure boot is disabled. However, I could not find the secure boot option in BIOS. I checked everything in BIOS but could not find the enable/disable secure boot option. However I have enabled dual boot type in BIOS.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thank you so much!

When you created the log, secure boot was enabled. please create a new nvidia-bug-report.log with it disabled.

The driver is loading now but the gpu fails:

[ 9.372913] NVRM: GPU 0000:06:00.0: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0x56:1463)

Please check if the card is working in another system, otherwise it might be broken.

It looks like you’re using some industrial case Nuvo-8108GC with NVS-8108 mainboard. I can’t find the thread but iirc that had problems with rtx3 gpus earlier.

Hello, have you managed to solve the issue?

use 460.84 driver

I had to use driver version 470.63.01 for the RTX 3060 GPU. I downloaded the .run file and installed the specific driver.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install libglvnd-dev
sudo apt install pkg-config
sudo bash -c “echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf”
sudo bash -c “echo options nouveau modeset=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf”
sudo update-initramfs -u
reboot

wget LINK FOR THE 470.63.01 DRIVER VERSION
sudo chmod +x THE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED
sudo ./THE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED --no-x-check

reboot

This worked for me. I dont know what the problem is but installing the proprieterty drivers from software and update never worked for me.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
