I am having many issues with the proper installation of NVIDIA driver 525.147.05 on my Ubuntu machine. These are the steps I followed:
- Disable secure boot
- Clean all the previous driver installation
- switch to text-only mode by stopping the desktop interface
- Run the install command from bash
- Rebooting
However, when I run nvidia-smi it says that the driver could not communicate with GPU. If I try lsmod | grep nvidia nothing returns, while by running dpkg -l | grep nvidia the content of the driver appear.
I tried to manually build the kernel as dkms status returns nvidia\525.147.05: added, but the following message appear:
ERROR: Cannot create report: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/nvidia-kernel-source-525.0.crash'
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.11.0-13-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/525.147.05/build/make.log for more information.
I have also tried the method using the .run file but also i that case there were problems related to kernels.
Any help is very appreciated. Thank you for your time and patience.
