Troubleshooting common install issues

  • Black screen after install - If Secure Boot is enabled, the NVIDIA module may be blocked. Either disable Secure Boot in BIOS or sign the kernel module. After changes, run sudo update-initramfs -u and reboot.
  • DKMS build fails - Ensure headers match your running kernel: sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r). Reinstall: sudo apt --reinstall install nvidia-driver- or use ubuntu-drivers autoinstall for a compatible version.
  • Wayland login issues - On Ubuntu, switch to Xorg at the login screen (gear icon) or disable Wayland in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf by setting WaylandEnable=false, then sudo systemctl restart gdm.
  • Nouveau conflict - Make sure the open-source nouveau driver is disabled. The official packages handle this, but if using .run, select the option to blacklist nouveau, then regenerate initramfs and reboot.
  • No nvidia-smi output - Confirm the module is loaded: lsmod | grep nvidia. If absent, check dmesg | grep -i nvidia for errors and reinstall via ubuntu-drivers autoinstall.
  • After kernel update - Reboot so DKMS rebuilds the module. If it fails, run sudo dkms autoinstall and check /var/lib/dkms logs.
