Failed to load module nvidia
borna-x86 opened this issue · 8 comments
This may be inappropriate here, however, nvidia-xrun
won't work because the nvidia module can't be loaded, according to Xorg.1.log
I have Ubuntu 19.04 and the nvidia-driver-418
package. I modified the ModulePaths and the Screen section, here is the nvidia-xorg.conf file.
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib32/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib32/nvidia/xorg/modules"

I have the latest driver installed, however /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
does not contain nvidia_drv.so
I am at a complete loss and any help and directions is appreciated.
Can you load the module manually using modprobe nvidia
? If you can't, the driver is not installed properly or might be incompatible with your kernel and or device.
i can load the module manually - modprobe nvidia
returns nothing
the result is the same regardless
I'm not sure I understand, sorry. Does the module load successfully with modprobe
or not. If not, what do you get in the dmesg log?

I'm having the same error with the same driver version on 19.04 and my modprobe returns
sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:832 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='off'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'off': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
No idea what this could mean. I also just purged nvidia from my system and reinstalled to be sure I'd start fresh.
@creativiii I just had the same issue - sudo prime-select nvidia
seemed to be the prerequisite step I was missing.
@Tomboyo Doesn't prime-select
globally activate the nvidia card?
Surely that defeats the purpose of having this script? Unless I'm misunderstanding what xrun is for.
I thought this was used to start programs using Nvidia graphics without having to activate it globally.
Seems that you have set an alias for "nvidia" as "off" to prevent it from being loaded. Check your .profile or .bashrc .
