I have an Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 LTS (kernel 5.4.0) VM with a 3070 passed through via ESXI. It has been running stable for months with v470 drivers until a few days ago when the card was no longer recognized by the driver it seems (nvidia-smi produces “No devices were found”) . What I have tried: S…

Update: 460 driver (first disable nouveau) works. I hope there wil be a fix fast for the new drivers.

Any Updates? all Drivers above 470.57 wont work with ESXI → Ubuntu and my RTX 30er Series. on Windows VMs no Problems. need the new drivers (5XX)

i have the same issue, need working 510 drivers for ESXi

What changes were made in 470.86 because 470.82.01 works but 470.86 upwards doesn’t?

I’m just here to throw some wood on the fire. Guess what? The beta release of 515.43.04 open source driver works with Ampere cards, but the proprietary driver shipped in the same installer does not. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I am in the same position as others in the thread trying to use a 3090 in ESXi…

Had the same issue, running RTX 3060ti with ubuntu 20.04 on esxi. Hardware is Asus x370 crosshair 3700x. Was working fine, then updated and no longer had a gpu. As of 8/15/22 I tried updating to the latest patch of esxi, was on 7.0 update 1 and installed to update 3 U3f, no change. Tried 22.04 and M…

So this is the full solution! use the open source drivers of nvidia. Here is how to do it (on my ubuntu server): First Disable nouveau & enable unsuported GPU’s for open source drivers: 1. Go to: /etc/modprobe.d/ 2. Make a file: blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf 3. Put this in the file: blacklist n…

thanks for Excellent Anser. blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf & sudo update-initramfs -u is needed for ubuntu 22.04, but needless for 20.04

Successfully got it running on Ubuntu 22.04 using the following command touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf cat >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf << EOF blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 EOF touch /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf cat >> /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.con…
