Someone refresh my memory - planning to upgrade Unraid to 7.2.0; aren’t their special steps I must take with Nvidia plugin in relation to Unraid Upgrade?

Nope, just trigger the upgrade and wait for the message in your Notifications (Bell Icon) says it's now okay to reboot.

I am having issues when trying to change to any driver version. The only information in the logs is

Oct 30 08:16:43 Tower emhttpd: cmd: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/nvidia-driver/include/exec.sh update_version 575.64.03

Also I am unable to change the Driver update notification

Did you already saw the recommended post on top:

@ich777 re-installed and that fixed the updater.. Waiting for a disk rebuild / reboot to verify version download. Thank you again

Trying to update to Unraid 7.2 but I keep getting this error.

When I try to download the driver from the plugin itself I get this error.

Looks like you can just uninstall the plugin, do the update and then just reinstall the plugin. I'll update here if I turn out to be wrong.

You can do that or do the following:

1. Uninstall the plugin

2. Reinstall the plugin

3. Execute this command from a Unraid terminal:
   

   wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ich777/unraid-plugin_update_helper/master/force_package_update | bash

4. Reboot

Thanks! I'm going to save that command!!

You don't need to save that usually it will work OOB, I really don't know why for some people the plugin breaks, I assume something messes with the plugin files after a long uptime.

After spending a lot of time troubleshooting this issue, I can confirm that I experienced the exact same behavior:

• GPU (RTX 3060) disappearing randomly from the system

• RmInitAdapter failed and later NV_ERR_NO_MEMORY errors in the logs

• Completely random timing — sometimes hours, sometimes days

• No VM passthrough, only Docker workloads (Jellyfin, etc.)

• Tried different NVIDIA drivers (including the open-source module)

• Swapped PCIe slots

• Changed GPU

• Tested different PSU cables / rails

• BIOS updated

• PCIe power saving disabled

• Above 4G decoding / ReBAR checked

• Even tested forcing PCIe Gen3

Nothing solved it consistently.

The only thing that finally stopped the issue 100% was enabling NVIDIA persistence mode, so the driver never tries to re-initialize the GPU during idle:

nvidia-smi -pm 1

After enabling this, the system has been stable for 24+ hours with zero GPU errors.

Add this to /boot/config/go to make it persistent at boot

It looks like the problem is related to GPU re-initialization on idle with newer NVIDIA drivers
Keeping the GPU initialized avoids the crash completely.

So if anyone is seeing random GPU "disappear / re-init / Out of memory / RmInitAdapter failed" issues on Ampere cards, this workaround fixed it for me.

A massive thank you for this, I really appreciate it!

Interestingly I was going through the motions after @ich777 kindly provided last bit of info, but as there was new versions of Unraid to 7.2 sable I kept testing. After a few hours being up, it had lost the card info and gave me the usual no devices found. Entering your command "Enabled Legacy persistence mode for GPU 00000000:0C:00.0. All done." - straight away brought the card back online and showing in both Nvidia plugin and GPUStats

I will continue to monitor, but this already seems to be back on the right track.

Thank you again @thymon

Please use this instead:

Ok thank you, I will do that. Should I add to the Go file as well?

Just that one line.

What @thymon said is the old way of enabling persistenced.

So I noticed the other day that Immich is showing up in the GPU stats on the dashboard but I'm not running it. Only containers I have the GPU passed through to are Plex and WhisperAI. NVTOP show Whisper running and nothing else.

Sorry, but this is the wrong support thread since this is GPU Statistics related.
However I link @SimonF here, he will be most certainly be able to fix that.

Hi just wanted to add my two cents to the driver dropping GPU error.

So i have a 1660Ti. Updated to 7.2.0 yesterday. Today i realised my GPU was no longer being found by the plugin.

I figured it was a new driver problem as the system was on v580.105.08. So i downgraded to v575.64.05 and rebooted.

Before unlocking the array, the plugin showed the driver, gave my the ID and everything. Unlocked the array, and teh GPU was gone. Logs showed this, reepeated;

Nov  5 22:04:23 Hal-9000 kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:08:00.0: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x22:0x51:884)
Nov  5 22:04:23 Hal-9000 kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:08:00.0: rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 0

i ran;

nvidia-persistenced

and the GPU reappeared. I have just added it to my GO file. I have not rebooted yet, just happy Tdarr is running correctly again.

Please reinstall the new driver and it will work, there was an issue with the package and I've already pushed a fix and a new driver package.

Yes, you can do that as long as you are not using the GPU in a VM.

No VMs on my side at all.

I will reinstall the latest driver and check now.

All appears good on reboot.

Using latest: v580.105.08

GPU is loaded after unlocking array.

nvidia-persistenced is in my GO file.

GTX 1050 Ti detected as GTX 750 Ti in Unraid 7.1.4

---

Hi everyone,

I just installed Unraid 7.1.4 on an ASUS Prime B360-Plus with an Intel i5-9600K and NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB), but Unraid detects the card as a GeForce GTX 750 Ti (rev a1) instead of the correct model.

Here’s my setup:

• Motherboard: ASUS Prime B360-Plus (LGA 1151)

• CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K

• RAM: 32 GB DDR4-2666

• GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB GDDR5)

• Unraid version: 7.1.4

Symptoms:

• GPU appears in lspci as:

  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev a1)
  01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)

• Installed the NVIDIA Driver plugin

  ------------------------------------------

Nvidia Driver Version: 580.82.09

Open Source Kernel Module: No

Installed GPU(s):
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

---

Has anyone seen Unraid misreport a 1050 Ti as a 750 Ti before?
Is this a driver detection issue, or could the BIOS / PCIe initialization be affecting the identification?

Any help or diagnostic steps would be greatly appreciated!

Please always share your Diagnostics when reporting such a technical issue.

However a GK106, as you can see from the ouptut from lspci, is a Kepler based card: Click

You probably bought a counterfeit card, this wouldn't be the first time that I see that here in the support thread, however please by something more recent like a Nvidia T400 since Pascal (10 series) is also already pretty "old" at this point.

General question, how long does it usually take from when a opensource driver gets released to that its available in this plugin?

The OpenSource driver is only compiled when a new Unraid version is released.

May I ask for what you are using the GPU for and on what Unraid version you are on?

For anyone loosing access to their GPU randomly, here is what I did : Losing my GTX1660 GPU randomly X days/weeks ? after a reboot. - General Support - Unraid
