[SOLVED] Failed to find module 'nvidia-uvm'

othersamo_ · 2021-11-29 15:31:42

Hello,
recently an error message containing issues with nVidia GPU popped out and it has been shown every time during boot:

Nov 29 16:17:46 Samo-PCTP systemd-modules-load[221]: Failed to find module 'nvidia-uvm'

I tried following steps here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=212636
Update did not solve the problem, though.
Output of the listed commands is provided below:

❯ uname -a
Linux Samo-PCTP 5.10.82-1-lts #1 SMP Fri, 26 Nov 2021 10:51:51 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

❯ modinfo nvidia-uvm
modinfo: ERROR: Module nvidia-uvm not found.

❯ pacman -Qs nvidia
local/egl-wayland 2:1.1.9+r3+g582b2d3-1
    EGLStream-based Wayland external platform
local/libvdpau 1.4-1
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia-utils 495.44-6
    NVIDIA drivers utilities

I am using nouveau drivers:

❯ lspci -nnk | grep nouveau     
	Kernel modules: nouveau

Another information:
- nvidia-lts, nvidia packages are not installed

I'd guess you either have it in a file in /etc/modules-load.d/, or you have it in the modules array of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Edit: Why do you have nvidia-utils if you aren't using the nvidia driver?

Edit2: Looks like nvidia-utils installs a file as /usr/lib/modules-load.d/nvidia-utils.conf, sot that may be what's trying to load it. You don't want nvidia-utils without a module package.

Hello,
after prompting to uninstall "nvidia-utils", this warning message is shown. Do you think it is safe to proceed?

❯ aura -Rns nvidia-utils     
checking dependencies...
:: ffmpeg optionally requires nvidia-utils: Nvidia NVDEC/NVENC support
:: vulkan-icd-loader optionally requires vulkan-driver: packaged vulkan driver
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: eglexternalplatform will be removed after its nvidia-utils dependency

Packages (3) egl-wayland-2:1.1.9+r3+g582b2d3-1  eglexternalplatform-1.1-2  nvidia-utils-495.44-6

Total Removed Size:  436.95 MiB

Thank you

EDIT1: I tried removing nvidia utils package which resulted in:

 nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 022554 [ IBUS ]

Looks like I have to switch to proprietary nvidia drivers?

Yes, it should be fine

Message above is edited, then I tried installing proprietary drivers back:

❯ lspci -nnk | grep nvidia
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia
	Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

Any tips on removing nouveau drivers, as they aren't really needed now (I assume nvidia drivers are now in use)?

You can remove xf86-video-nouveau, if it's installed.
The kernel module is shipped w/ the kernel and cannot be "removed", you could prevent it from extraction, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … _to_system - but there's little point in that.

Thank you for clarification!
