The Nvidia driver stopped working on Linux for hybrid graphics cards starting with kernel 6.15 onwards

My computer is a Dell G3 3590, with a 10th generation Intel i5 processor, 12GB DDR4 RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 1050 3GB.

I’ve been using Linux on it for several years without any problems, but now with driver 580 I’m having issues. I’ve noticed, talking to other people, that this only happens with hybrid GTX 1050 cards; the problem doesn’t occur with non-hybrid cards.

If I try to use kernel versions 6.15 or higher, like 6.16 and 6.17, the Nvidia driver fails to recognize the card; it’s as if it doesn’t exist. Looking at dmesg, I found the following output:

[ 7.409460] nvidia 0000:01:00.0: Unable to change power state from D3cold to D0, device inaccessible

Adding the flag pci_aspm=off to grub, the driver recognizes the Nvidia card in nvidia-smi, but even forcing it, no app is rendered by it.

I already tested it on Debian unstable, Fedora 43, and Biglinux (based on Manjaro), all presented the same problem, with the difference that in Debian unstable the driver is not version 580.

Hi @mozaga.iarle, welcome to the NVIDIA developer forums.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I moved the post to the dedicated Linux category and tagged the right people to get better tracking.

Thanks!

Not that I am aware of. It might take a few days, especially since there was a public holiday in the US yesterday.
