Nvidia Driver is not working on Ubuntu 22

emreshepherd · October 27, 2022, 7:02pm

I am using Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and have dual GPU Intel (HD 530)/Nvidia (GTX950). When I was using Ubuntu the first time after installed it, Nvidia drivers were successfully working, but now it doesn’t work. I tried to install drivers in both Drivers window and command-line.

Secure boot is disabled. That didn’t work: install nvidia driver

nvidia-smi output:

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

nvidia-settings output:

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded

(nvidia-settings:4383): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 22:08:05.795: g_object_unref: assertion ‘G_IS_OBJECT (object)’ failed

** (nvidia-settings:4383): CRITICAL **: 22:08:05.797: ctk_powermode_new: assertion ‘(ctrl_target != NULL) && (ctrl_target->h != NULL)’ failed

ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file or the X server is
not accessible. This file should have been installed along with this
driver at
/usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The
application profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be
prepopulated or validated, and will not be listed in the help text.
Please see the README for possible values and descriptions.

Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post.

Sorry. I added it now, here’s: nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (56.4 KB)

There are no kernel modules installed for that kernel, please try installing the kernel headers
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
then check if
dkms status
lists the nvidia driver.

Thanks.
Things are going well. Because PRIME Profiles tab came again in Nvidia Settings app, but it doesn’t work. I selected Nvidia Performance mode and then it said that you should restart the system, Intel Power Saving Mode was selected as default after I restarted the system. Also there are the same errors (nvidia-smi and nvidia-settings).

dkms status output:

The driver is installed now but seems to be blacklisted

run

sudo prime-select nvidia

run

grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/* /lib/modprobe.d/*

to find a file containing

blacklist nvidia

and remove it,
then run

sudo update-initramfs -u

and reboot.

I did clearly all of them, but unfortunately the system doesn’t shutdown or restart. When it is closing, it freeze. Also Intel GPU is coming as default and there are the same errors.

I run this command "grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/* /lib/modprobe.d/" again and then saw blacklist nvidia lines now:

/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf:# This file was generated by nvidia-drivers-515

nvidia-settings output:

Please create a new nvidia-bug-report.log, possibly from recovery mode.

emreshepherd · October 28, 2022, 10:05am

I could not open the system in recovery mode. GRUD comes as command lines, not menu.

Please try disabling Wayland and switch to on-demand mode.

sudo prime-select on-demand

emreshepherd · October 28, 2022, 11:25am

I did it, and then I got this error after “shutdown -r now”:

prime-select query output: intel

generix · October 28, 2022, 1:23pm

You removed the necessary blacklist file for nvidiafb. Please recreate it and run sudo update-initramfs -u

emreshepherd · October 28, 2022, 1:43pm

When the system was shutdowing, blackscreen came and didn’t go.

If you accept, I can install Ubuntu 22 again, but I want to know what I should do firstly. Could you help me?

I installed Ubuntu 22 again, and everything works perfectly. I use the system on Performance Mode right now. I hope it is going to be well. Thank you very much.
