NVIDIA driver is not loaded. Ubuntu 18.10

realloc is set and works, you now installed an incompatible kernel so the driver is not installed anymore. Please return to the stock kernel or use the liquorix ppa to get a working, new kernel.

Hii. I have a similar problem only that it’s not on ubuntu 18.10 but on Pop! OS 22.04. My Nvidia GPU isn’t being detected at all and i have tried several solutions including;

  • purging nvidia drivers and installing them again
  • installed different drivers (470, 515)
  • turning off secure boot
    -nvidia prime conflicts with system76 so that didn’t work for me

My GPU is is GTX 1050

I have the bug report attached. Could anyone help me fix this? Thank you!

You attached the shell script, not its generated zip file.

Sorry for that. I’m fairly new to this.

The driver is working, you’re currently in offload mode, i.e. you can run somrthing on the nvidia gpu by prepending
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
e.g.
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxgears
prime-select was replaced by system76 for pop_os:

Hii! thanks for the quick reply. I tried entering the command to run something specific on my nvidia gpu and most applications i entered that i have installed came out with an error that the command could not be found. The only one that worked was discord.

From the website you linked i could switch graphics from the power menu on pop_os which i did. I changed it to nvidia and rebooted but now the option for that is no longer there and running this command ā€œsystem76-power graphics nvidiaā€ comes with an error message saying ā€œdoes not have swtichable graphicsā€.

Running the lspci shows only my intel. I’m not sure what to do at this point.

Edit: I ran the command again with lutris and this is the message i got

Maybe it installed an udev rule to remove the nvidia gpu.

Hii again. Thanks for replying! I ran this command and rebooted;

  • ā€œsudo update-initramfs -uā€

I got this message. It says possible missing firmware but my firmware is up to date.

I also tried deleting ā€œ/lib/udev/rules.d/50-pm-nvidia.rulesā€ but it was not there in the first place.
Please lemme know if there’s anything I can do about this. Thanks a lot!! I appreciate the help

Please create a new nvidia-bug-report.log.

Here’s the new log.

The nvidia gpu went missing at the bios level. Please check if it’s diabled in the bios menu.

I’ve checked the bios and i don’t see it there unfortunately. Though some time ago when the nvidia card was detected i didn’t see it appear in the video section in the bios. I’m on a dell G3. Could this be a hardware problem? My bios is up to date.

Yes, that’s definitely a hardware issue. Usually, first measure would be resetting the mainboard by removing the battery and AC but often this requires disassembly unless the bios menu has an option for it.
Ultimately, the nvidia gpu might be broken so it always detaches when being used.

Oh okay. I’ll have it get checked for that. That would explain why most times i would shut down the laptop and turn it on after a few hours, it would detect the card again but would cause the laptop to freeze after a few minutes. Then after rebooting, the nvidia would be gone again.
Thank you so much for your assistance!! That helped me rule out the problem.

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 18.04, kernel 4.15.0-196-generic, using nvidia-drivier-515. I use a supermicro server with Xeon Gold 6154 and Geforce rtx 3090 ti
No secure boot.
No blacklist-nvidia.conf
My log is attached.
I wonder if you share any suggestion with me.
Thank you

This is absolutely not in any way even a similiar issue.
Your nvidia gpu didn’t get assigned any resources or irq.
Since the early boot messages are missing, I can only guess. Please make sure ā€œAbove 4G decodingā€/ā€œ64bit BARsā€ are enabled in bios, CSM is disabled and linux is installed in EFI mode.

Thank you.
I checked the bios settings and disabled CSM, but the problem exists.
I uploaded my boot.log

Also uploaded the early boot messages (from journalctl -k)
Thank you for your help.

The nvidia gpu seems to sit on a pcie expansion board which is barely functional due to not getting many resources assigned by the bios. Please check for a bios update and install it.
Meanwhile, you should rather uninstall the nvidia driver since it’s flooding the log.

Great! It is now fixed after updating the bios. Thank you

I have same issue , i made same things but i did not resolve it. anyone help me
