Please check if the kernel module “nvidia” exists:
$ modinfo nvidia
If you get a module not found error, try
$ modinfo nvida-418
(assuming 418 is the major number of the driver you are using)
In this case you will need to use the following for step 3:
options nvidia-418 “NVreg_RestrictProfilingToAdminUsers=0”
Also confirm that:
- You are doing steps 1 to 5 as root
- Reboot the machine as suggested in step 5
- Check that the value is correctly set to 0
$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/params | grep RmProfilingAdminOnly
You should see:
RmProfilingAdminOnly: 0
Hope this works.
