Problem with rtx2070super in ubuntu 20.04lts

Graphics / Linux Linux

Hi, I am trying to install the driver for rtx 2070 super on ubuntu 20.04 lts. The driver is installed automatically during system installation (build 440.100). However, after installation it is not possible to enter the graphical interface, there seems to be a conflict with the video card. A purple screen appears and a prompt to enter an authorization password. It was not possible to go further. Tell me a way to solve the problem.

This rather sounds like you enabled disk encryption or secure boot module signing and now it asks for the password you were required to create for it.

That’s right, but the password doesn’t work. If i remove the nvidia driver, the GUI loads.

Is this an ASUS mainboard? Some of those have a bios bug so importing the signing key doesn’t work.

amd msi X570-A pro

UEFI+Legacy bios mode

Does it work if you run

sudo mokutil --disable-validation

to disable validation and afterwards install the driver?

driver is installed now. I see that with nvidia-smi

sorry, I didn’t see the MOK window on the first try. Now i disabled security boot, but purple screen still with me :)

I really don’t know what kind of screen you’re stuck and which password it asks for. Rather try installing Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04 has some ugly bugs that need to be ironed out.

Not sure if I’ve had similar issues as you, but I have the same OS and Graphics card. I tried the 520 driver but that didn’t work. Using the 510 driver worked. Haven’t bothered with the 515 driver.

Also running an SSH server on your computer is invaluable so that you can remote in and run the commands as your display will be out of action.
