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](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/5/9/5911d9a1218764d505003d9dae12d23cb62196a8.png) 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.

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. ![Secure Boot](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/3X/4/a/4a556e88d9b57c92bcf0762aaa8fdb64137ae78a.jpeg) 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. ---

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!
