[SOLVED] RTX 5060 Driver Installation On Ubuntu

Graphics / Linux Linux

EDIT : By using pci=nocrs under GRUB config ( /etc/default/grub ) I managed to eliminate all display drivers and just use TTY for a clean installation. Then, I removed this parameter since it avoids the system control for resource management.

Basically, the error is like the following:

[   38.273335] NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine failed for 1 device(s).
[   38.273338] NVRM: None of the NVIDIA devices were initialized.
[   38.274301] nvidia-nvlink: Unregistered Nvlink Core, major device number 238
[   38.516692] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 238
[   38.516703] NVRM: This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid:
               NVRM: BAR0 is 0M @ 0x0 (PCI:0000:26:00.0)
[   38.525116] nvidia 0000:26:00.0: probe with driver nvidia failed with error -1

As you can see the system can’t load the drivers.

I’m using Ubuntu 24.04 and Gigabyte Windforce RTX 5060 and I have tried the following methods to install GPU drivers:

  • Ubuntu Service: sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:580 # or 570
  • PPA : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
  • Nvidia Runfile : sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.195.03.run

Neither proprietary nor open versions worked for me. Also, changing BIOS settings to support 4G Decoding made Windows 11 not booting at all and Secure Boot is not activated.

Here are some other logs:

Windows 11 drivers are working with no problems, so I’m not suspecting any hardware issue. I have also tried Ubuntu 22.04 but that also didn’t work.

Thanks for your suggestions.
