Installing RTX 200 ADA driver on Ubuntu22.04 or RHEL8.
( note, both of linux are dual-boot with windows11)
issue: cannot run nvidia-smi and after reboot, linux system would not start. (attached error message)
Could you please help this issue?
Thanks,
Here is the procedure:
before installing driver
set nouveau to blacklist
$ lspci | grep -E “VGA|3D”
0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 7d55 (rev 08)
0000:01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 28b8 (rev a1)
$ ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd000028B8sv00001028sd00000CC7bc03sc02i00
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
driver : nvidia-driver-535 - distro non-free recommended
driver : nvidia-driver-545-open - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-535-server-open - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-545 - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-535-open - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-535-server - distro non-free
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
tried both of versions
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535
or
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-545
before reboot, checked nvidia-smi
$ 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.
