Are the G04 / G05 / G06 variations of the nvidia drivers meant to cover all nvidia cards?
According to nvidia.com, my card the Quadro RTX 5000 Mobile is not listed under the supported products for the version currently used by any of these 3 drivers. According to their site, I should be using version 460.91.03.
Would this be considered a bug that a card is not covered by these 3 or is it just expected that some nvidia users will have to “roll their own”?
Thanks,
Eric
Other than quite old cards, that is. I’m aware there may be some cut off, but the card I’m using is fairly new.
Hi
The G06 (510.60.02)… I have a T400 Mobile in my desktop;
inxi -Gxxz
Graphics: Device-1: AMD Lexa PRO [Radeon 540/540X/550/550X / RX 540X/550/550X] driver: amdgpu v: kernel bus-ID: 02:00.0

I install the hard way here though.
Thanks Malcolm.
Looking up 510.60.02 on nvidias page (https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/187169/en-us) under supported products it only lists the Quadro RTX 6000 under “Quadro RTX Series (Notebooks)”. It does list the Quadro RTX 5000 (and 4000, 6000, etc) under “Quadro RTX Series.” This is confusing, but I believe the notebook and non-notebook versions of these cards is different and that this matters. If you do the driver lookup by card (https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us) puttiing in Quadro RTX Series (Notebooks) / Quadro RTX 6000 it takes you to 510.60.02, but if you select Quadro RTX Series (Notebooks) / Quadro RTX 5000 it gives you 460.90.03 (https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/177149/en-us).
So I don’t think the current G06 driver is right for this card (nor the G05 or G04 drivers), at least according to Nvidia.
Thanks,
Eric
Hi
My card is the same series… TU… it will work for sure. Install that driver then what you need to do is ignore prime-select (based on your other thread, it is hard having two running threads…) and show the output from;
xrandr --listproviders
So, the reason being AFAIK, the newer cards and hardware should just be able to use offload (See https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/510.60.02/README/primerenderoffload.html), this is what I use here, although a desktop. I no xorg configs etc, it just works… no logout/login etc much easier to use for the applications where you want to use the nvidia gpu.
Ok I installed the G06 drivers and rebooted:
xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x48; cap: 0xf (Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload); crtcs: 3; outputs: 7; associated providers: 0; name: mod
esetting
output eDP-1
output DP-1
output HDMI-1
output DP-2
output HDMI-2
output DP-3
output HDMI-3
Grepping this boot’s journalctl for nvidia, I find
kernel: nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
Hi
So, your at the latest Tumbleweed release? Can you post the output from;
cat /etc/default/grub |grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
Correct, 20220324.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash apparmor=0"

Hi
Do you have any xorg configurations present associated with ether the nvidia card or suse-prime?
At the moment, I’ve got
sudo ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
00-keyboard.conf 90-intel.conf
(I’ve experimented with prime-select since installing the G06 drivers. Last prime-select I ran was “prime-select offload”. I can run “prime-select unset” again if you want. “prime-select nvidia” currently results in failing to boot to a graphical desktop. I assume the 90-intel.conf came from trying “prime-select intel” previous to the “prime-select offload” unless the latter actually installed it.)
and
[FONT=monospace]
sudo ls -R /etc/prime
/etc/prime:
current_type offload_type user
(let me know if that doesn’t answer your question fully)
[/FONT]
Hi
So what are the contents of current_type and offload_type? I have zero experience with suse-prime and plasma 
My dual gpu laptop is amd… If you inspect ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log see any errors?
Empty. (The -R makes the ls recursive)
I don’t think plasma is entering into it. When I say failure to boot to graphical desktop, I beleive it’s not even getting to plasma. I’ll have to recheck this since the G06 driver, but previously it seemed to be the sddm error.
However your suggestion to check the xorg log was a good idea. I do see some errors, even booting (successfully into plasma) in the offload / intel mode. Ill just post the whole log since it’s not terribly long and there are some odd warnings earlier too…

Actually hold on…that local xorg log is old…probably from the last time I tried to startx as my normal user. These errors are not in the /var/log version. Let look at that log more closely.
Hi
So what files are down in /usr/share/X11/ and /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d any nvidia configuration, is nouveau blacklisted?
There are no errors in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log only warnings on those various directories under /usr/share/fonts not existing and that ‘Ignoring unrecognized extension “XFree86-DGA”’
I assume you really want me to check it in the “won’t boot into graphical mode after prime-select nvidia” situation.
Hi
Yes, just check the log and see whats happening.

As to blacklisting nouveau, I’m quite sure I did this back when I first installed the nvidia drivers. However I don’t find it blacklisted under /etc/modprobe.d. Still, I can’t find any indication nouveau is loading. I will add the blacklisting for it and retry the prime-select nvidia.
