Nvidia drivers not working after Pop OS 22.04 update that resulted in installing kernel 5.17.5 instead of 5.16.19 #2369

uname -r : 5.17.5-76051705-generic

I did an update to pop os today (sudo apt update) then upgrade (sudo apt upgrade). I got a notification telling me to reboot my pc to finish the upgrade, so I did.
After the reboot, my second screen wasn't working so I run nvidia-smi and I got the error NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
I tried sudo modprobe nvidia which resulted in this error modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found in directory /lib/modules/5.17.5-76051705-generic which means there are no nvidia modules for kernel 5.17.5 and that grabbed my attention to the fact that the kernel was updated : it's 5.17.5 now instead of 5.16.19 that I had before the update.
For my laptop, I managed to reconfigure grub2 to use the previous kernel instead which has the proper modules and drivers but for my desktop, which uses efi, I don't have grub2 installed so I don't know how to revert to the previous kernel automatically.

Can someone tell me how to fix this ? What's the problem with the new kernel ? Why it doesn't have nvidia drivers ? What else doesn't work with this kernel ?

Thanks

See if reinstalling the Nvidia drivers might fix things as this also recreates the nvidia DKMS kernel modules. To do this please run the following:

sudo apt purge ~nnvidia
sudo apt install system76-driver-nvidia

@linuxgnuru this didn't work. I ended up using this command to revert to the previous kernel 5.16.19 :
sudo kernelstub -v -k /boot/vmlinuz-5.16.19-76051619-generic -i /boot/initrd.img-5.16.19-76051619-generic

Hi, recently I've got similar issue (nvidia kernel module not loaded and my second monitor not work) after upgrading kernel to 5.17.5. so I decide to reinstall nvidia driver, like what @linuxgnuru says with some adjustment like in this article https://support.system76.com/articles/login-loop-pop/#reinstall-nvidia-driver

sudo apt purge ~nnvidia # I change this to `sudo apt purge '^nvidia-*'`
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt clean
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install system76-driver-nvidia
sudo systemctl reboot

now I can use my second monitor with 5.17.5 kernel and 510.68.02 nvidia driver 🚀

adnub · 2022-05-05T16:10:47Z

I have the same issue. Saw the following happen in apt:

Building module:
cleaning build area...
unset ARCH; [ ! -h /usr/bin/cc ] && export CC=/usr/bin/gcc; env NV_VERBOSE=1 'make' -j12 NV_EXCLUDE_BUILD_MODULES='' KERNEL_UNAME=5.17.5-76051705-generic IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1 IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 SYSSRC=/lib/modules/5.17.5-76051705-generic/build LD=/usr/bin/ld.bfd modules.....(bad exit status: 2)

...done.

Not entirely sure what I can do to fix it on my end. For now I'm just booting the previous kernel version.

@adnub I believe you're experiencing pop-os/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470#5

@DSPdav this worked with the 5.17.5 kernel thanks :)

irishgordo · 2022-05-05T17:15:05Z

I've tentatively just boot back into 5.16.19-* - by just holding down 'spacebar' at boot, dropping into the old-kernel.conf.
the thinkpad workstation I have is currently using the 470.86 driver.
would there be just an upstream change that might be worth waiting for, hanging on 5.16.19-* for a while until then?

leviport · 2022-05-05T17:18:43Z

@irishgordo I believe you are experiencing pop-os/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470#5. It is a different issue from this one, but pop-os/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470#6 will probably fix it.

bassemkaroui · 2022-05-05T17:28:52Z

@leviport my issue is exactly this one pop-os/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470#5, it's the driver 470 that doesn't work with kernel 5.17.5 so I wanted to revert back automatically to the 5.16.19 kernel but I didn't know how since I don't have GRUB2 on my EFI system. Using kernelstub solved my problem though so I'm closing this issue thanks everybody and thanks Pop OS for providing this simple tool 😄

irishgordo · 2022-05-05T17:30:30Z

awesome thanks for that! @leviport

Linux-cpp-lisp · 2022-05-05T20:22:39Z

@DSPdav's fix also worked for me with no need to boot into the 5.16 kernel... the

sudo apt install system76-driver-nvidia

command pulled the 510 driver automatically.
(Thank you for the help— I didn't need to spend any more of my day trying to read my portrait mode monitor sideways 😄 )

xandox · 2022-05-17T15:15:22Z

Hi all.
I still experiencing problems with installing nvidia 510 driver.
I tried the trick with purging all nvidia packages, cleaning and installing system64-driver-nvidia but it was not help. I attached make.log from nvidia-dkms package.

UPDATE:
Switching cc to gcc-11 helps.

Switching to gcc-11 did the trick for me as well. Thanks!

Hi, can you explain how you did this? Struggling with the same issue, any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

vikassidana · 2023-04-08T06:59:16Z

I also need the solution

xandox · 2023-04-08T07:19:14Z

@cbacary @vikassidana chek your 'update-alternatives'

jokober · 2023-04-08T08:31:36Z

You can follow those instructions but for gcc version 11.

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-switch-between-multiple-gcc-and-g-compiler-versions-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-focal-fossa

I am have the NVIDIA runfile installation on Pop!OS 22.04 and this week I had to install gcc version 12.

PaulBenn-UnlikelyAI · 2023-12-26T11:12:53Z

December 2023: for anyone still stuck on this, here's the full process that worked for me.

Building on suggestions from the posts above:

Nuke everything nvidia related

sudo apt purge ~nnvidia
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean

Upgrade everything (removing currently installed packages if necessary to upgrade the system as a whole)
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
```

Add GCC dependencies if you don't have them already

sudo apt install build-essential software-properties-common

Add repository containing all GCC versions

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

Add as many versions of GCC as you want (version 13 worked for me)
```
sudo apt install gcc-12 g++-12 gcc-13 g++-13 -y
```

Update alternatives for gcc (the third argument after --install is just the priority)

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-11 11 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-11
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-12 12 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-12
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-13 13 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-13

Alias cc to gcc

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cc cc /usr/bin/gcc 30
sudo update-alternatives --set cc /usr/bin/gcc

Alias c++ to g++

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/c++ c++ /usr/bin/g++ 30
sudo update-alternatives --set c++ /usr/bin/g++

Configure gcc (and therefore cc, as its now aliased) to point to a newer version of GCC
```
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
```
Re-install System76 NVIDIA driver (check for dpkg errors - hopefully there's none this time)
```
sudo apt install system76-driver-nvidia
```
Reboot - PopOS should boot into hybrid graphics automatically
```
sudo reboot
```

sudo apt purge ~nnvidia
sudo apt install system76-driver-nvidia

It worked for me, I booted in the recovery mode typed this and all went dark, a reboot and I was good.
The magic keys are usefull to be able to reboot properly in those cases.
