Troubleshooting common issues
- Black screen after reboot - Often caused by Nouveau conflict. Boot to recovery or TTY, blacklist Nouveau (echo blacklist nouveau | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf; sudo update-initramfs -u), then reinstall the proprietary driver.
- Secure Boot blocks module - Either disable Secure Boot in UEFI or enroll a Machine Owner Key (MOK) to sign NVIDIA modules during install.
- DKMS build fails - Ensure matching kernel headers and compiler: sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential gcc. Make sure GCC version matches the kernel build GCC.
- Wayland login issues - Switch to Xorg at the login screen or ensure your Wayland session supports the installed NVIDIA version.
- Incorrect version loaded - Use apt policy nvidia-driver-* to select the recommended package, or reinstall to match 550.90.07 where supported by your Mint release.
- After kernel update, driver not loading - DKMS should rebuild automatically. If not, run sudo dkms autoinstall and reboot.
