WTF is happening?

[Florian W. (florian-will)]

I haven't rebooted yet after installing 530, and now I may wait a bit before attempting it, but I notice you're missing linux-objects-nvidia-530-6.2.0-20-generic and linux-modules-nvidia-530-generic and maybe a few more compared to my setup.

Did you install using dkms for some reason, like having a custom kernel? If so, these packages may not be needed and that's not your issue.

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

I tried several installation approaches like `sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` but none of them works. How can I have the complete installation without missing anything?

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

"Did you install using dkms for some reason, like having a custom kernel? If so, these packages may not be needed and that's not your issue."

What do you mean? What do I NOT need and can / should remove? I don't use any custom kernel!

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

How do I recover my system? What to remove and what missing stuff to install and how to install the missing stuff?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[pakaoraki (pakaoraki)]

Ubuntu 23.04, dell xps 9570 with nvidia 1050Ti (prime).

# nvidia-smi
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 to enroll key again for secure boot as it can cause this issue:
sudo update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key
It didn't fix this situation.

I'm going back to nvidia 525.

[pakaoraki (pakaoraki)]

After, a complete reinstall of nvidia driver again, I managed to use the nvidia-530 driver. I notice that after some recent updates, the oracle kernel and lowlatency kernel were installed: after removing it and reinstall nvidia driver, prime was working again.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

If you are still experiencing this bug then please run:

  lspci -k > lspci.txt
  journalctl -b0 > journal.txt

[Alexander (sturmlocke86)]

The new Nvidia 530 driver just nuked my Ubuntu install too, see my comments from today further below here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2023776

Same here: Low latency kernel has been installed (don't know why tbh), secure boot is off, can't install the Nvidia driver after the update tool messed something up, trying to recover right now.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Try this:

  sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-dkms-530 nvidia-driver-530

and if that doesn't fix it then also try uninstalling any kernels you're not using first.

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

I don't think I want to install nvidia-dkms-530 again which messes things up! Please refer to https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/530-doesnt-work-on-ubuntu-23-04/256721/2

I only have ONE kernel which is the generic.

And BTW, what the fuck does Oracle have to do with the world of Ubuntu that screws up our devices!?!

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Different kernels exists for different purposes. Regular desktop users won't generally have more than one type of kernel installed unless they've been experimenting...

I suspect sometimes failure to build the module for one kernel may cause DKMS to give up and not even try to build the module for the other kernels. But I'm guessing now (recalling similar experience of my own) and have no direct evidence that's the issue.

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

So it is not a problem with Oracle but with Canonical which doesn't do proper validation of the "experimenting" kernels before publishing to the general public then?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The NVIDIA driver is only supported by some kernels, not all. That in itself is not a bug. To cover the possibility that it will fail to build for some kernels and to keep building for others, a bug report either to the driver itself (this bug) or to the automated builder (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bugs) is probably appropriate.

While Canonical might not expect desktop users to have multiple types of kernels installed, that's something I do see people do often so suggest it should be part of QA.

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

I don't think it makes sense because I did not choose to install those kernels that break - oracle and lowlatency. It was pushed to me when I ran `apt update -y` and `apt upgrade -y` on a daily basis. These "experimenting" kernels fall through the cracks of your QA process and we become the victims of it.

How to prevent this from happening again?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I don't know why that would have happened and haven't seen it occur myself. I suggest you query the unwanted packages that are installed to find out what is depending on (or recommending) them.

[Ahmad Hammoudeh (hammoudeh-69)]

@sturmlocke86 using 6.2.0-20-generic or 6.2.0-23-generic solved the issue for me.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

"Using" a different kernel isn't the main problem. This bug was initially logged against 6.2.0-20-generic

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

No. It happened initially with oracle kernel which I later solved after switching to generic kernel. But it is not entirely solved yet as the resolution of the external monitor is not correct and sometimes it doesn't detect external monitor at all.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

You can use the 'apt rdepends' command to find out what caused the non-default kernels to get installed.

[Alexander (sturmlocke86)]

I am also left wondering where these additional kernels came from tbh. I didn't install them knowingly onto my system; could these have been installed as a dependency by the app "Gnome Boxes" (virtual machine), which I did in fact install onto my 23.04 machine a few weeks ago ?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Why the kernels are installed isn't really important, just a curiosity. The nvidia driver should build and install more reliably regardless...

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Incomplete: We'll need to see the DKMS build logs to determine which package is to blame.

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

$ apt rdepends
E: No packages found

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

$ apt rdepends NAME_OF_KERNEL_PACKAGE

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

What's that NAME_OF_KERNEL_PACKAGE that I should use?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

NAME_OF_KERNEL_PACKAGE would be the name of one of the 'oracle' or 'lowlatency' kernel packages you have installed. But as mentioned in comment #24 it's not really important, what's important is comment #25.

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

I have removed nvidia-dkms-*. So, probably can't give you the logs you need.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Removing the kernel driver would certainly cause this bug too. What graphics driver are you using now?

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

RTX A2000

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

What output do you get from this command?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Looks like it's working now.

If the bug ever occurs again then please look in /var/lib/dkms/... for the build log and attach it here.

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

No, it doesn't work completely. Please check comment #21.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Please run 'nvidia-smi' and try launching 'NVIDIA Settings'. If those work then comment #21 would be a different issue.

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

`nvidia-smi` runs successfully. How to launch "Nvidia Settings"?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Nvidia Settings is an app in the apps list (Super+A key). But actually that doesn't matter now because nvidia-smi is working. So there are two separate problems:

1. Bug 2023946: nvidia kernel driver not built. Still requires a DKMS build log showing the failure or we can give up now that it's working.

2. Wrong monitor resolution (presumably in Xorg): Needs a new bug report please.

[Teh Kok How (khteh)]

Arw you sure this is "resolved" just because we removed the 2 fxxking third party kernels - Oracle and lowlatency?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The bug status here is "Incomplete" awaiting DKMS build logs showing a failure.

The monitor resolution problem should get a separate bug.

That's odd. Those logs suggest the nvidia kernel driver built and installed successfully. But your log from bug 2025585 explains the issue:

[Alexander (sturmlocke86)]

@Teh Kok How (khteh), answering to your post #17.

Typing this from my phone rn, so bare with me please. I kept digging into this because it turns out that the computer that my wife uses also had a few Nvidia related issues recently, and she also has the Oracle and low latency kernel installed, even though she didn't install these manually, willingly or knowingly. There is a bunch of information about this out there:

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/14ndb7a/why_do_i_keep_getting_these_oracle_and_lowlatency/

- https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2482558

- https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2473057

- https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2483064

Going by the information at hand, it seems that this is indeed caused either by the Nvidia driver update in Ubuntu - or - it's a dependency from Virtualbox or Gnome Boxes, which I mentioned in the comments of the bug report further below. Two things here: a) having the kernel change like this from the default Ubuntu kernel to something from Oracle without any form of obvious user info or confirmation is something to worry about imo b) it seems to be tied to some of the gpu driver update issues that a few of us have been experiencing, and it has even nuked or rendered some systems unusable too, see posts above

I haven't found the time to further diagnose my own Ubuntu + Nvidia related issues (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2023776), and I don't see myself troubleshooting my wife's computer right now, so I leave this comment here just in case someone wants to open up a new or separate bug report about this, which I'll gladly upvote in order to provide whatever little information that I have right now.
