Process:
1.Installed Proxmox on rig and began set up.
2.Installed OpenWebUI LXC along with Ollama.
3.Moved to install NVIDIA Driver on Proxmox host, through remote terminal.
4.Ran following command in terminal
apt update && apt upgrade -y && apt install pve-headers-$(uname -r) build essential software-properties-common make nvtop htop gcc cmake -y update-initramfs -u
5.Turned out that I did not have gcc, so downloaded that, and ran command again successfully and then rebooted.
6.Went to nvidia website and copied the most recently link for Linux x86_64/AMD64/EM64T
7.In the terminal, I typed ‘wget ‘ then pasted the link and enter.
8.Are that command ran, I confirm file through ‘ls’.
9.Typed out ‘chmod +x NV* and hit enter
10.Executed the installer through “./ NV* -dkms”.
Issue #1 (resolved):
After selecting ‘Nvidia Properitary, I received the following notices:
“Warning: The Nouveau kernal driver is currently in use by your sytem. This driver is incompatible with the Nvidia driver, and must be disabled before proceeding.”
“Nouveau can usually be disabled by adding files to the modprobe confguration directories and rebuilding the initramfs. Would you like nvidia-installer to attempt to create these modprobe configuration files for you?”
I responded with ‘yes’
“One or more modprobe configuration files to disable Nouveau have been written. You will need to reboot your system and possibly rebuild the initramfs before these changes can take effect. Note if you later wish to reenable Nouveaur, you will need to delete these files: /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-disable-noveau.conf, /tc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-noveau.conf”
I rebooted the system, attempted to run the script again (./NV* -dkms).
Issue #2 (current):
Received warning that:
“ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure that you have the kernel source file for your kernel and that they are properly configured.”
Unknown and/or unable to figure out how to mitigate the issue. Logs have not been helpful.
