Hello,
I have a 3090 installed on a machine with Ubuntu 20.04. I have been trying to install Nvidia drivers (both manually, using the .run file, and through “Software and Updates”), but cannot get the drivers to work.
This is the my kernel version : 5.15.0-53-generic
I have tried 520, 515 and 510 versions (open-kernel and metapackage versions), as well as 515.76 .run file from the official drivers website.
With 515,520 open-kernel versions - the system outputs this when running 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.
And with the other non open-kernel versions the system boots to a black screen.
I have tried several things, including the solution from this thread : Cannot get nvidia driver (520, 515, 515-open, or 510) working in Ubuntu 22.10 , but to no avail.
I have blacklisted Noveau and all the other steps mentioned in the thread as well, but none of them work. (I have not yet disabled Secure Boot, though)
What process should I follow to install nvidia-drivers 515 or above on my system?
Here is a bit more additional information.
Currently, I have the 515 open-kernel drivers installed and it boots up correctly, but upon running nvidia-smi I get this error; this happens with 520 open-kernel version as well. :
Unable to determine the device handle for GPU 0000:01:00.0: Not Found
There is no /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf on my system.
This is the contents of /lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf :

The output of nvidia-settings :

Any help would be appreciated!

I have recently purged my system and tried to reinstall the drivers. This is the procedure I followed :
- purge everything nvidia related using apt-get
- Uninstall Nouveau drivers
- install nvidia-drivers-525 using apt
I rebooted the machine and the GUI seems to be broken, this is what I can see on boot :
(Please note that this happened with 520 and 510 non open-kernel versions as well)
I have ssh open on the machine, so I can remotely ssh in and use the terminal.
nvidia-smi runs properly, this is the output :

Unfortunately, any operation I run on the GPU leaves the machine hanging, whether i run it from base or through an ngc docker. (even though torch,tensorflow etc can see that cuda and gpu is available)
For eg, a simple torch.rand(1).to(“cuda”) runs indefinitely.

Thank you!
