Please create a new kernel.txt first from the running system using
sudo journalctl -b 0 --no-pager |grep kernel >kernel.txt
and post the output of
glxinfo |grep OpenGL
first to check if really everything is up and running.

There’s a kernel oops regarding the amdgpu driver which probably should be reported to the kernel bugzilla but looks like this doesn’t have any bad effects since all seems to be working otherwise.
Please install the nvidia driver now and take care that you’re installing a 460 version since only those have support for kernel 5.10.
Afterwards, please post the output of
dpkg -l |grep nvidia-prime
and
dpkg -l |grep ubuntu-drivers-common
since amd/nvidia combos require specific version to properly work.

@generix ,
now the NVIDIA driver refuses to install with this error:
Attaching the nvidia bug report also. Not sure if it will help
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (95.3 KB)
Here is also the output of the commands:
$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia-prime
ii nvidia-prime 0.8.15.3~0.20.04.1 all Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime
$ dpkg -l |grep ubuntu-drivers-common
ii ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.8.6.5~0.20.04.1 amd64 Detect and install additional Ubuntu driver packages
If I run the install again it finishes without errors, but after restart the system shows that the driver is not installed and it uses “AMD RENOIR (DRM 3.40.0, 5.10.14-051014-generic, LLVM 11.0.1)”
Here is also new kernel log:

Oh joy, seems the Ubuntu kernel packages have a bug keeping mudules from building. Please check if this workaround helps:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1906131/comments/8
Of course, the path has to be correctly set to the 5.10.14 kernel sources.

OK, looks like that worked. The OS says that now it uses “GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2”
Here is the output of the above commands:
$ sudo dpkg -l |grep nvidia-prime
ii nvidia-prime 0.8.15.3~0.20.04.1 all Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime
$ sudo dpkg -l |grep ubuntu-drivers-common
ii ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.8.6.5~0.20.04.1 amd64 Detect and install additional Ubuntu driver packages
Versions are correct, looks like everything is fine now.
OK, I have to give you a huge kudos!!! Thanks you very much for your time, you were amazing!!!
To sum it up for all with the same issue:
-
Get the latest Kernel. Currently it is 5.10.14
-
Download all files from this URL
https://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/gs/
and copy them to
/lib/firmware/amdgpu
Make sure they all have the same owner and permissions like the other files in the same folder. -
run
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torvalds/linux/master/scripts/module.lds.S -O /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.2-051002-generic/scripts/module.lds
and then
sudo sed -i '$ d' /usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.2-051002-generic/scripts/module.lds
Make sure you put the correct kernel version instead of “5.10.2-051002”
-
run
sudo update-initramfs -u -
Add the drivers repo
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa -
Reboot and install the NVIDIA driver from “System → Preferences → Hardware → Additional Drivers”
-
Buy a big beer to @generix :-)
@sano1982 That should work for you too.
Thanks

Please change the thread title to include Ryzen 5900 and mark your last post as solution so other users have an easier time finding it.
Hm, I cant find a way to change the thread title. It looks like I cant even edit my older posts, just the recent ones.
@predte4a @generix thanks to you both a lot. You saved my month.
It works with 5.10.15 like a charm.

Likely, they’re telling to go over to freedesktop.org but their gitlab is a complete mess.

That works for me:
ASUS ROG Strix Scare G733QS.311.
GPU: RTX 3080 Laptop 16gb
CPU: amd Ryzen7 5800H
Kernel 5.11.0-051100
With previous kernel versions (5.10.15, 5.10.16) I had a problem with Asus built-in keyboard (ASUS N-KEY) - it didn’t work properly and sometimes it was causing system crash.
With kernel 5.11.0 I only obtained another problem - my computer is not able to turn off so I need to help him by power button. But keyboard is working properly (at least that properly as it is able on linux). So for this moment I have to choose which from above’s problems is less painful (i prefer working keyboard ;) ) and live with hope that shutdown will be fixed in next releases.
The most important conclusion - Nvidia GPU works fine!

Thank you so much for this solution. I have same problem with ASUS gaming A15 TUF FA506QR, Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3070 that I bought three weeks ago. I am following your solution, but I have not executed the point 3:
as I am a bit confused as to where to put the kernel version that am using “5.10.14-051014”. Should reflect in the both link that I am downloading from and folder to save output to?
I read that the output folder should be: “/usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.14-051014-generic” for my own kernel. Please see attached result of kernel.txt.kernel.txt (138.3 KB)
You’ll just have to replace " 5.10.2-051002" with “5.10.14-051014” in both commands.

Hi! I’m the hacker responsible for the kernel driver for those ASUS ROG/Strix keyboards. The patch to enable it was included in kernel 5.11.x, and kernels prior to that require a dkms module to be built from here.
As you are using ASUS gaming laptop you might also want this to help enable a few more things for you in an easy to manage way.

Hi, can I use kernel version 5.11.x for ASUS TUF A15 gaming, Ryzen 7 5800H? I installed kernel version 5.10.14-051014 but after booting on, I got an error that linux-header unsigned not properly installed and nvidia-smi not loaded. Nvidia gpu not seen.
I did same but I still get an error and nvidia-smi does not load.
