Nvidia GPU not working?

greembow · 2022-12-19 18:47:38

Hi all, I have a Surface Book 2 15" with a GTX 1060 in it. I installed the patched kernel, and followed all the steps, but I'm pretty sure something is wrong with my GPU, as running nvidia-smi says "No devices were found". I have the nvidia-dkms package, but still nothing. What should I do?

This is an optimus system, you run on a special kernel, but have its headers installed and

02:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Microsoft Corporation Device 0024
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

the GPU is driven by the nvidia module.

There's probably some error and the module doesn't respond.
In doubt you lack "ibt=off" as kernel parameter, otherwise please post a system journal (sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st)

Rminitadapter failed, do you get this w/ the non-surface kernels?

greembow · 2022-12-22 19:06:45

Nope, no mention of Rminitadapter in journalctl with the 'linux' kernel.

You don't seem to have the nvidia kernel module, missing linux-headers or was there a dkms failure (there's a prebuilt repo package, though)
