NVIDIA geforce Titan X not detected on Ubuntu 18.04 kernel 4.18.0-22 : Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:2:0:0

Graphics / Linux Linux

I Installed drivers and Cuda-10.0 by adding cuda-repos from Nvidia Site. But the OS refuses to detect the GPU card

Error I see in the log: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:2:0:0

ATTACHED BUG REPORT

Secure boot in UEFI is disable. I checked before installing the drivers.

Installed nvidia-driver-430 and cuda-10.0

You’re running into

[  100.589306] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x25:0x40:1103)
[  100.589323] NVRM: rm_init_adapter failed for device bearing minor number 0

might be a hardware failure. Check for a system bios update, try reseating card, check if it works in another system.

We checked that by going back to Ubuntu 14.04 from 18.04. GPU works fine in 14.04. problem is specific to 18.04.
Any clues why it is failing in 18.04

6

Did you upgrade the bios yet?
Please try a current 418/430 driver.

I installed 430 driver only. Not sure about bios update. Will try that
