[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.

Hi @azeer , thanks for reporting this issue.
Could you try once with the kernel commandline param pci=realloc=off and enable 4GB decoding to check if it works, thanks.

Thanks for your response.
While the new kernel parameter works, when I enable 4G decoding my Windows 11 won’t boot at all.

GPU : GIGABYTE Windforce RTX 5060 8G

Hi Azeer, which driver succeeds with your ubuntu 22.04 after you corrected the above mentioned kernel parameter and the bios setting ?

5

I’m currently using 24.04 not 22.04

The driver is 570 which is quite old. I recommend trying 580 or so first.

Thanks, I already tried 580 but unfortunately doesn’t work with 5060 ti. May be I’ll try 575 as well as I found some posts confirmed it was working with Ubuntu 22.04.

What a shame!
I switched to Nvidia card in the hope of not fighting with drivers again.
I guess I was too optimistic.

Hi @azeer , could you please help to attach a bug report here when you see the issue.

I am having the same issue, it seems I go around in a circle. I cannot solve on my 5060 ti either nor do I see an actual solution to the driver mismatch. Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch

Is only the solution the workarounds? Added: I did also upgrade to Ubuntu Server 25.
