Public bug reported: For applications such as OBS 30.1.2 and Blender 4.1 to use CUDA and NVENC, the Nvidia driver for servers must be installed first, followed by the normal Nvidia driver, in that order. I believe this to be a bug because the server driver is lighter than the normal driver and the driver installation help page https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/nvidia- drivers-installation can be interpreted as saying the normal Nvidia driver should be installed first followed by the server driver.
However when this is attempted installing the server driver uninstalls the normal driver, but the server driver cannot work without the normal driver unless it is installed again afterwards ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 Package: nvidia-driver-535 535.171.04-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-31.31-generic 6.8.1 Uname: Linux 6.8.0-31-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.28.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Fri May 17 20:50:13 2024 InstallationDate: Installed on 2024-05-16 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 24.04 LTS "Noble Numbat" - Release amd64 (20240425.1) SourcePackage: nvidia-graphics-drivers-535 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-535 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug noble ** Summary changed: - nvidia driver with cuda support only works if installed in a wrong order + nvidia driver with cuda support only works if installed in the wrong order -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2066073 Title: nvidia driver with cuda support only works if installed in the wrong order To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-535/+bug/2066073/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
