In fact, I am unsure how to tackle any suggestions on action being taken before the computer boots up (such as entering BIOS or disabling Secure Boot because as I said, it's a remote server which I access either via ssh or remote desktop. I found suggestions that during the installation, you are asked a password, which you then need to type again on reboot.

nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. The last two facts make me think that the driver has not been installed correctly.įinally, I'm not sure what this is saying exactly, but here's output of dmesg | grep nvidia: nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. ** Message: 13:28:34.206: PRIME: is it supported? noĪlso, glxinfo | grep nvidia returns nothing. (nvidia-settings:2278): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:28:34.205: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed This makes me think that the driver has been installed correctly, however, sudo nvidia-settings fails to run: ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system | Fan Temp Perf Pwr:Usage/Cap| Memory-Usage | GPU-Util Compute M. | GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers What I did (following this post Install Nvidia Drivers on Ubuntu Server 18.04): sudo apt-get purge nvidia* I am not sure the driver is installed correctly. I have followed the instructions from other posts trying to install the proprietary drivers, then purging and reinstalling multiple times. I recommend using the locate command (not installed by default) rather than searching the filesystem every time.I am trying to install nvidia drivers instead of nouveau on a remote server running Ubuntu 18.04, which I am accessing via remote desktop (running Plasma KDE). # update-initramfs -c -k 4.13.0-43-generic #recompile itĪfter removing 384, I still had 384 files in: So I recompiled my kernel: # uname -a # find the kernel it's using

Seeing this meant that the kernel was still compiled to reference 384, but was only finding 410. But even after reboot, I was still getting this. However I had completely removed the 384 version, and removed any remaining kernel drivers nvidia-384*. NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver NVRM: this kernel module has the version 384.130. The error message was opaque, but checking dmesg was key: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 410.79, but So I was having this problem, none of the other remedies worked. You should get nothing, then confirm you can load the correct driver If you get an error like rmmod: ERROR: Module nvidia is in use, which indicates that the kernel module is in use, you should kill the process that using the kmod:Īnd then kill those process, then continue to unload the kmods TestĬonfirm you successfully unload those kmods Our final goal is to unload nvidia mod, so we should unload the module depend on nvidia Nvidia 12312576 86 nvidia_modeset,nvidia_uvm Tell us the Nvidia driver kernel module (kmod) have a wrong version, so we should unload this driver, and then load the correct version of kmod How to do that ?įirst, we should know which drivers are loaded. As said, rebooting can solve this problem, but I think a procedure without rebooting will help.
