Hi, I am trying to setup a new rig with RTX 5090 w. Ubuntu 24.10
The installation process I followed was this - 1. Introduction — NVIDIA Driver Installation Guide r570 documentation
It seems to run fine but when I run nvidia-smi it fails with:
“NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.”
Is there support for 24.10? And if there is, what are the installation instructions please? Note: I’d like to use it for ML (CUDA)
Thanks.
Ps. Attached the nvidia-bug-report.sh → Processing: nvidia-bug-report.log.gz…
Ubuntu 22.10 went end of life in July of 2023. It’s not supported by Canonical anymore.

My bad. It’s 24.10 (Oracular Oriole) I’m trying to use. (not 22.10)
hey mane
made an account to reply in case i could help
have you tried turning secure boot off by any chance?
edit: after that, trying to install the nvidia drivers again, rebooting, checking if worked or not

Thank you so much for trying to help 🙏
When I disable the secure boot, ubuntu fails to complete boot (gets stuck).
i would suggest to mess around with chatgpt by asking it various questions combined with trial and error
been messing around with an old laptop all night + day long and managed to progress even though it took hours, but better than asking people for help as itll take overly too long to get somewhere
hope u the best mane
