[Plugin] Nvidia-Driver
fyi on my problem. `modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.78-Unraid` I ended up installing a fresh unraid while keeping all my disks, shares, docker containers, etc. The problem magically disappeared. I updated my bios to most recent before doing this, but it had no effect. Everything works as expected now. @ich777, @alturismo, thanks for the diagnoses aid. Its always nice to have a forum to bounce around ideas in. EDIT: Oh yeah, there was no overclocking set on the motherboard. It was all on "auto". So, as compatible/stable as I can see it being. That said, it is an ASRock motherboard. Not the most stable brand AFAIK

@alturiso Indeed, copying the driver to have it installed twice is suboptimal. As for the `calm gpu` script. It just runs an `nvidia-smi` command. Disabling has no effect: @ich777 Ah, apologies. Here's the Diagnostics where the nvidia issue occurs. Nothing pops out at me nvidia wise. All the logs concerning the open source driver was me trying different things. Obviously, none worked. As for where I heard about the `/boot/extra` file, it was via a LLM that referenced a post from here somewhere. It was good enough for me to give it a shot. NOTE: The driver is not seen at all. The following result in the terminal: nvidia-smi -bash: nvidia-smi: command not found EDIT: @ich777, I always waited till the graphics download and install completed before exiting the plugin install prompt. Everything worked as expected at these points. Its just the loss of driver persistence after reboot thats the issue. EDIT2: Noticed that the only time there's an issue in the logs is on the monitor plugged into the unraid server pc upon bootup. I can't find where these logs are in unraid easily so I'll paste the interesting stuff here. I've included a few lines above and below that don't look related: ... update_services: delay = 45s rc.local: Installing /boot/extra packages xz: (stdin): Compressed data is corrupt cat: write error: Broken pipe modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.78-Unraid rc.local: Installing language packs ... I don't know what the corrupt data log is about. The /boot/extra folder is empty. Same with the Broken pipe. The /lib/modules/* is populated when I ssh into the machine. It looks properly setup. Could it be that its not in place when this bit of logic runs? This is all occurring before the initial TTY is setup. boogaloo-diagnostics-20250414-0144.zip

[Plugin] Nvidia-Driver
Heyo, Have an issue that I've implemented a temporary fix on. Recently updated from Unraid 6 to Unraid 7.0.1 which caused the Nvidia Driver to disappear upon every reboot. Installing the Nvidia plugin brand new works until another reboot which is the concistent pattern. Looking inside the `/boot/extra` folder revealed that nothing was placed in there. AFAIK, an nvidia driver *.txz file must be present for unraid to install the driver on bootup. So I copy/pasta'd like so due to not being able to make a symlink: cp /boot/config/plugins/nvidia-driver/packages/6.6.78/nvidia-570.133.07-6.6.78-Unraid-1.txz /boot/extra/ This works, the driver is permanently present regardless of reboot and all my docker containers use my graphics card correctly. However, I imagine any update to the driver will not actually be done as it would have to change this file in the `/boot/extra` directory which it wasn't doing in the first place. Any ideas how to fix this? NOTE: I did have a few packages installed by Nerd Tools which is no longer supported in Unraid 7+ AFAIK. I think I've removed everything having to do with this, but there could be something left over. diagnostics-20250413-1858.zip
