Don't immediately install the driver without rebooting).Īfterwards, I ran sudo apt install nvidia-driver-460Īnd, reboot, and nvidia-smi should no longer cause any error.Īlso, I agree with Octal, I think there is a compatibility issue between nvidia-driver-470, Ubuntu 20.04, and kernel 5.11.xxx because after I ran the steps that I have mentioned, I tried to install nvidia-driver-470 and nvidia-smi error returned.Īfter the step above, I faced the same issue when I booted up my PC in the next day. Then, I rebooted (this step is very very important. Without that update command, this issue won't be fixed. In the above command, please make sure to run "sudo apt update" before removing nvidia packages. I followed similar steps inspired from Octal. I need to upgrade because UE4Editor is crashing with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED "VkResult=-3" Is 470 unstable? despite the additional drivers says it is "tested"? NVIDIA 470 driver doesn't work after suspending Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (yeah, why mine with latest updates is apparently 20.04.2?) Gdebi-gtk wont enable the install button for it! (I guess it is because mine is apparently 20.04.2 and the package is for 20.04.1)īut there is a report of it being installable: Nvidia-kernel-common-470 >= 470.74, but the only available package is I saw there are nvidia 470 for 5.11.0-38-generic packages, but I cant install them because good I had a root (and boot) backup made with rsync ( ), so I could quickly directly use the previously working OS copy AND/OR quickly restore it back (what I did).
Installing the 470 removed several older nvidia packages. If I try the 5.4.0-1053-gcp kernel (compatible with nvidia 470), it will not boot! It will stop booting when trying to initramfs, and then a few minutes later open busybox console. If I try to boot on the default option 5.11.0-38-generic, nvidia drivers wont load, and resolution will be 640x480 only!
It requires an older kernel 5.4.0-1053-gcp (Google Cloud Platform), while the last one is 5.11.0-38-generic! If I select nvidia-driver-470 with synaptic, it installs all required packages, but there is something weird: I tried to switch to the "nvidia-driver-470" using the "Software & Updates / Additional Drivers" facility, but it always says the packages are not going to be installed.
