Problems with Nvidia Drivers-

Post by yorick » 2021/09/26 04:17:40

I "upgraded" the gpu on my CentOS 8 / DaVinci Resolve machine, from AMD Radeon 4Gb to an Nvidia Geforce 8Gb device. I uninstalled the AMDgpu-pro driver and installed akmod nvidia drivers from CentOS repos. On boot it went immediately to black screen. I ran startx as user and X-server crashed complaining that .serverauth.XXXX didn't exist. I did some poking about on the innerweb and following advice downloaded the latest driver from the Nvidia website and after carefully dnf removing all the akmod-nvidia artifacts I installed the Nvidia version. Unfortunately no difference.

Any ideas on things I may have missed hugely appreciated.

Re: Problems with Nvidia Drivers-

No errors (EE) in the log.

CentOS Linux repos do not have "akmod nvidia" and we do not run "startx".

Some third-party repos do have NVidia drivers. The versions from ELRepo have worked nicely on my systems. Definitely more manageable than the binary blob directly from NVidia. (NVidia does have yum-repository with drivers and CUDA too.)

sudo systemctl isolate graphical.target is equivalent of the old "telinit 5" and essentially starts X11 and/or Wayland.
sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target is equivalent of the old "telinit 3" (and stops X11/Wayland).

sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target makes graphical.target the default for boot.

I would uninstall the binary blob and run:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf install elrepo-release
sudo dnf install nvidia-detect
nvidia-detect
The latter should report "kmod-nvidia" on all new NVidia cards. If so, then

Code: Select all

sudo dnf install kmod-nvidia
What do you get with:

Code: Select all

mokutil --sb

This just returns a blank line and nothing happens

Did all that no change unfortunately

You did reboot after installing the ELRepo version?

Yes indeed, twice in fact.

I have:

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# /etc/X11/nvidia-xorg.conf provided by http://elrepo.org

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nvidia"
EndSection
and

Code: Select all

$ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
00-keyboard.conf
Do you have some extra remnants?

Furthermore, installation of package nvidia-x11-drv (pulled in with kmod-nvidia) adds
nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau plymouth.ignore-udev
to kernel command-line options. (I'm now looking at CentOS 7 package, but IIRC those are same.)

Did the system work with nouveau?
