5/19/2023 0 Comments Linux mint nvidia driversUploading the nvidia-install.log, the nvidia-bug-report.sh, and the Xorg.0.log with startx run with the verbose 6 option. But at the moment I’ve gone back to using the intel onboard video using “prime-select intel”.įairly frustrated but I hope I have all the logs that could help. I am now using runlevel 3 and manually startx’ing if I want to try the nvidia driver. One thing I did was put into /etc/modules the linesĪnd then rebuilt the initramfs as this was something recommended I think if the concern was that the nvidia module was not loaded before the login splash screen came up but it didn’t help. At that point, when startx crashes, I can get something from nvidia-smi. So now I’ve switched over to my crappy onboard Intel graphics card so I can use my computer outside of runlevel 3. Now after switching back to 1650 and redoing the driver install, I now have managed to create a situation where, rather than falling back to nouveau and having bad performance, “startx” crashes. is my 1650 card just bad?) But the 710 had the same problem. I also switched to an old Geforce 710 card to test whether it would be happy (i.e. I then started paying attention to this forum and decided to try the “.run” way of installing the driver. During this time if I used “nvidia-smi” it would say there was no nvidia driver available. I reinstalled the nvidia driver using the Driver Manager utility, and tried 495, 470, 460 all with the same result. But then the problem became consistent, I could never reboot into a working nvidia driver at all. I thought maybe it is a software issue so I decided to upgrade my Mint installation to 20.3, whcih I did no problem. Ok, today I decided to try to pin this problem down. When this happened I’d just reboot a few times until the nvidia driver came back, and I didn’t reboot my machine often, I would just leave it on. During that time if my machine ever needed to be rebooted, sometimes the nvidia driver would be fine and work great, but sometimes it apparently fellback to the nouveau and my computer suffered. (Note I’ve used the 470 (recommended) driver too). For the last several months I’ve been using Linux Mint 20.02 with the Nvidia 495 driver and a Palit GeForce GTX 1650 card. Ok, it is hard to give a great description because after messing about it seems the problem has changed.
