Hey there, I have a dell inspiron 7559 with a 960M nvidia GPU and I’ve recently installed Pop! OS 20.10, after which, the graphics card is no longer detected.
Here is the output from several commands that might be of interest:
❯ sudo nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
❯ sudo dmesg | grep -i nvidia
[ 270.875840] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[ 270.910023] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 511
[ 270.910029] NVRM: No NVIDIA GPU found.
[ 270.910562] nvidia-nvlink: Unregistered the Nvlink Core, major device number 511
❯ grep 10de /lib/udev/rules.d/*
/lib/udev/rules.d/71-nvidia.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x10de", DRIVERS=="nvidia", TAG+="seat", TAG+="master-of-seat"
❯ grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/* /lib/modprobe.d/*
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf:blacklist nvidiafb
/etc/modprobe.d/system76-power.conf:blacklist i2c_nvidia_gpu
/etc/modprobe.d/system76-power.conf:alias i2c_nvidia_gpu off
/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf:options nvidia-drm modeset=1
/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf:options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
It worked before on Pop OS 20.04 LTS but it wasn’t very consistant either, sometimes having to reboot to get it back up.
