Failed to load module nvidia #106

Open borna-x86 opened 5 years ago

borna-x86 commented 5 years ago

This may be inappropriate here, however, nvidia-xrun won't work because the nvidia module can't be loaded, according to Xorg.1.log

I have Ubuntu 19.04 and the nvidia-driver-418 package. I modified the ModulePaths and the Screen section, here is the nvidia-xorg.conf file.

I think the issue is here:

[    82.175] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
[    82.175] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)

I have the latest driver installed, however /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/does not contain nvidia_drv.so

I am at a complete loss and any help and directions is appreciated.

michelesr commented 5 years ago

Can you load the module manually using modprobe nvidia? If you can't, the driver is not installed properly or might be incompatible with your kernel and or device.

borna-x86 commented 5 years ago

i can load the module manually - modprobe nvidia returns nothing

the result is the same regardless

michelesr commented 5 years ago

I'm not sure I understand, sorry. Does the module load successfully with modprobe or not. If not, what do you get in the dmesg log?

leo-petrucci commented 5 years ago

I'm having the same error with the same driver version on 19.04 and my modprobe returns 

sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:832 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='off'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'off': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

No idea what this could mean. I also just purged nvidia from my system and reinstalled to be sure I'd start fresh.

Tomboyo commented 5 years ago

@creativiii I just had the same issue - sudo prime-select nvidia seemed to be the prerequisite step I was missing.

leo-petrucci commented 5 years ago

@Tomboyo Doesn't prime-select globally activate the nvidia card?

Surely that defeats the purpose of having this script? Unless I'm misunderstanding what xrun is for.

I thought this was used to start programs using Nvidia graphics without having to activate it globally.

Tomboyo commented 5 years ago

That's probably the case, I'm not too terribly sure I know what I'm doing and should likely be ignored. :P

Seems that you have set an alias for "nvidia" as "off" to prevent it from being loaded. Check your .profile or .bashrc .
