Hi,
I checked the related topics and they stated to purge the nvidia packages first works.
So I have a newly installed ubuntu24.04, and I installed the CUDA toolkit Nvidia driver following the official documentation with local method: CUDA Toolkit 12.8 Update 1 Downloads | NVIDIA Developer
Then I reboot the machine but still have the “No devices were found” from nvidia-smi.
I checked the dmesg and found:
[ 11.751660] [drm:nv_drm_load [nvidia_drm]] ERROR [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to allocate NvKmsKapiDevice
Thanks for any clue on the issue!

Were you able to find a solution to this?
same issue.
5080. ubuntu24.04
570.133.07 and 570.124.04 of Proprietary Version.
MIT/GPL is working fine.
Unfortunately no…
One more thing to mention is that I worked with open kernel module.
Hard to tell from the logs, since there are also several PCI errors.
One thing you could try is to use default proprietary drivers first with the 5080, which is recommended in any case.
Another thing to look at is to maybe disable the AMD graphics in the system, which might interfere with driver initialization.
I had a similar issue and a motherboard bios update fixed the issue for me. x870e motherboard…
I have same issue
So I have a newly installed ubuntu 24.04.02, with RTX 5080, 570.133.07 and 570.124.04 of Proprietary Version.
Everything looks fine when install driver 570, driver already install but when prompt nvidia-smi, got an error no device were found
I got error like this when check the xorg compability with NVIDIA :

This is worrying and either a problem with nouveau being loaded as prime driver or issues with the physical installation of the GPU.
First of all make sure to blacklist the nouveau driver.
Then re-insert the GPU into the motherboard, make sure it sits correctly.
Make sure you have all the necessary power connectors attached correctly.
Hello Markus,
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (202.0 KB)
i will send the report bug can you check it for me
I installed sudo apt install nvidia-driver-570, but it installed version 570.124.06.
How about changing it to 570.133.07? I found on the NVIDIA website that the RTX 5080 is compatible with version 570.133.07
If you click “Vie More Versions” you would also see the 124 version, no worries.
-> An alternate method of installing the NVIDIA driver was detected. (This is usually a package provided by your distributor.) A driver installed via that method may integrate better with your system than a driver installed by nvidia-installer.
Please review the message provided by the maintainer of this alternate installation method and decide how to proceed:
The NVIDIA driver provided by Ubuntu can be installed by launching the "Software & Updates" application, and by selecting the NVIDIA driver from the "Additional Drivers" tab.
You did not do a clean installation.
I already do this before doing installation :
sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.’
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get --purge remove “cublas” "cuda"
sudo apt-get --purge remove “nvidia”
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo apt autoremove
sudo reboot
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations on how to perform a clean installation?
Anyway @MarkusHoHo The problem was solved, I just purge all nvidia and reinstall it with sudo apt install nvidia-driver-570-open

I install using ‘Additional Driver’ and also using ‘sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.133.07.run’, I get the following error: NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running. When running nvidia-smi.
But when I install using ‘sudo apt install nvidia-driver-570’, I get ‘no devices were found’ when running nvidia-smi the problem on here [ 27.796] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0 is not supported by the 570.124.06
[ 27.796] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): NVIDIA driver. But everything else seems to be normal.
Hi, did you just used the aforementioned commands to purge nvidia packages?
Hello, I am having similar issues, I tried installing the driver but I cannot get it to work, no matter what I do
I have a laptop with a NVIDIA1050 GTX Mobile and an Intel CPU
pls help

Magic! No other option worked for me but this one! open driver immediately recognized the device.
Welcome to the NVIDIA developer forums @v.arriola. Good to hear that you found a solution!
