Problems after install attempt 515.48.07 driver

atcook65 · June 28, 2022, 5:38am

Hi, I’m encountering many issues in my attempt to update my linux ubuntu 20.04 system to the latest 515.48.07 driver. I have an RTX A5000 laptop GPU.
Initially, I tried installing the 515 driver with sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515 with no luck. Then I tried uninstalling the current driver I have (510) with an ‘apt purge nvidia’ function. After doing that I noticed under additional drivers in software & updates I can’t click on any of the additional drivers I was once able to, and the nvidia X server settings displays an empty window. This occurs after I reset my entire computer with the factory settings so it seems nvidia is completely gone.

I read using the command sudo ubuntu drivers autoinstall was supposed to fix the disappearing nvidia issue but I have the following error.

When I try to install the individual driver I had initially (510), I get the following issue…

On a side note, I was also not able to download the Cuda extension 11.7 which I will need to do eventually when I had the 510 driver which I believed it was is supposed to be compatible with?

Any help would be really really appreciated. I’m freaking out I broke my machine and when I try to fix it, things become worse

Please post the output of
dpkg -l |grep nvidia
and
dpkg -l |grep cuda

Thank you for your fast reply! Below are the outputs. As a side note I think I was able to repair what wasn’t working yesterday because when I ran ‘sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall’ I didn’t recieve an error and the nvidia drivers reappeared in nvidia X server settings. However while I was able to install the 510 driver, when I ran the sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515 command I got an error (below). I’d really like to know how to cleanly remove the 510 driver and download 515 with cuda extension because everything I find on youtube/formus is outdated and throws errors

Likely just some stray lib.

Two driver versions installed at once.

uninstall all driver packages
download 470.103.01 runfile https://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/470.103.01/
run it with -b option
immediately afterwards, uninstall it with --uninstall option
reboot
reinstall the driver from repo

atcook65 · June 28, 2022, 8:00pm

HI Thank you for the reply… I tried a number of things and I am not getting the 470.103.01 to download properly

1st I uninstalled driver packages with

sudo apt-get remove --purge ‘^nvidia-.*’
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I attempted installing 470 and got an error about disabling the nouveau driver

I then disabled it them using…

ashley@ashley-Precision-7760:~$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf^C
ashley@ashley-Precision-7760:~$ sudo update-initramfs -u
ashley@ashley-Precision-7760:~$ sudo reboot

after attempting to install again I an error saying I was missing libc header files So I installed libc header files with…

ashley@ashley-Precision-7760:~$ sudo apt-get install libc-dev libc6-dev gcc g++

after the next install attempt i got a message asking me if I wanted to install with or without signing. I chose without, got an error and tried reinstalling signing.

then I got the following messages…

atcook65 · June 28, 2022, 8:03pm

installation wasn’t aborted but then I got this…

atcook65 · June 28, 2022, 8:09pm

then this

atcook65 · June 28, 2022, 8:13pm

then this…

generix · June 28, 2022, 8:14pm

Just ignore, the do the uninstall and check whether the 470 libs are gone.

atcook65 · June 28, 2022, 8:40pm

OK thank you…
can you please explain the --uninstall option input? I don’t see any examples of uninstalling with that online. ONly sudo-apt purge. When I attempt the following it doesn’t exist…

ashley@ashley-Precision-7760:~$ sudo apt-get --uninstall nvidia-470
[sudo] password for ashley:
E: Command line option --uninstall is not understood in combination with the other options

I’m also not sure the 470 install worked properly because nvidia-smi returns the following;
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

However 470 shows here …

Use the runfile again with --uninstall option.

atcook65 · June 28, 2022, 11:08pm

OK I was finally able to get it to download and I also successfully downloaded the CUda toolkit. Thank you so much for your patience and help!!! Hopefully this will help someone else out who’s struggling :D much appreciated :)

Hi. we would have helped me. I did not know that I removed men python3 and then the screen went black. ppm init failed error (-110). Got it, drive related. Now I want to download nvidia-driver 515. It shows me wine64-development: Recommends wine32-development.
