It only shows in the plugin one of my 2 GPUs though. Is it meant to only support one?

No, it supports multiple GPU's but since you didn't send Diagnostics I can't tell why.

Will this plugin work with NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell, i can't seem to get it up and running - the plugin claims it does not see the GPU however Unraid does see it and can connect to it.

This post is also missing Diagnostics, I can't tell anything without them.

However you have to use the Open Source driver version.

Hello, same situation with a rtx 6000 pro BW. Plugin doesn't see it. Card work fine on a dedicated OS

Don't know if it's the same situation since the other user didn't post his Diagnostics.

However I can see this in your syslog:

Jan 12 07:00:52 Power kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA GPU 0000:08:00.0 (PCI ID: 10de:2bb1)

Jan 12 07:00:52 Power kernel: NVRM: installed in this system requires use of the NVIDIA open kernel modules.

Jan 12 07:00:52 Power kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:08:00.0: rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 0

As you can see, please use the Open Source driver version for your Card.

Please Disable C-States in the BIOS since you have a Ryzen CPU, if your Mainboard allows it change the PCIe Generation to 3.0, make sure that you have Resizable BAR Support and Above 4G Decoding enabled.

Also make sure that you are on the latest BIOS version.

Disabled C-state, PCIEe to gen 3, Above4G was already enabled (it's a 2700x it's a diffusion model machine so no resizebar, I'm switching to better tomorrow), everything are up to date (updated everything yesterday) still not detected

Hi, I'm trying to get some help.

I recently brought back up a server that I had kinda in storage for the last 1.5 to 2 years due to a move. I have a Quadro P1000 in it and after running through a lot of updates for the OS, plugin, containers, etc I'm getting the "NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running." message. I went and made sure the card wasn't bound to vfio, made sure I had the latest driver, made sure my card was supported, and even uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin and still getting the error.

What am I missing?

You have to change the driver version to something lower than version 590.x

I recently updated Unraid from 7.2.0 to 7.2.3 and after reboot, 3 of my containers that were dependent on my GPU are no longer starting. After a little digging I started to suspect it was an issue with my GPU and went to the Nvidia Driver Plugin and found this error:

Nvidia Driver Version: 590.44.01

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.

I looked thru the documentation in this thread but it doesn't appear anything really lines up. My GPU acceleration was working fine for these containers previously before doing an Unraid update.

 After reading through some similar posts, I tried installing another version of the driver but keep getting this error:

What's odd is that no matter which version I choose, it will always show v575.64.05 in the error message.

I just got the same thing! My old GTX 1050 Ti is a bit old now I guess.

You gotta revert it back.

1. Go to Settings > NVIDIA-Driver

2. Change the Driver drop down to "Production Branch"

3. Click Update & Download

4. Reboot the server.

I might turn off "Driver Update Notification" and just manually update from now.

Yea same. Mine is a 1080. Sadly this little issue caused me to go down the wrong road thinking my docker.img was corrupted. Had to re-add all my containers only to realize it was a GPU driver issue.

Got it working! Oddly it wasn't letting me change the version. So I had to uninstall the plugin, re-install, then follow those steps. Thanks!

You also have to select a driver lower than 590:

Please don't download a driver that is that old, any 580 driver will do it, however for the error message I really can't tell why that's happening.
Make sure that you have enough free space on your USB Boot device.

Do you probably have these messages on your plugin settings page:

If yes, do the following:

1. Uninstall the plugin

2. Reboot

3. Install the plugin

4. Visit the plugin page and select a 580 driver version

5. Reboot

I have a general question on how the Open Source Driver version is updated in the plugin.

So current I see it's on version v580.95.05 . I did some digging and I see in the repo(/unraid/unraid-nvidia-driver/) this plug-in uses there have been multiple releases since this version.

Comparing then with https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules I see the version updates, which do match some of the newer versions in the unraid repo.

Just curious if I should expect to be able to update to versions v580.1##.### ?

I have a 5070ti.

[Edit, added syslog extract]

I have 2x NVIDIA GPUs intalled, neither are IO mapped, but Nvidia cannot connect. The GT730 is in first PCIe slot so that 5060 is fully available for AI workloads in Docker.

The server is booted into UEFI (not CSM)

Nvidia Info:

Nvidia Driver Version: 580.95.05

Only one time when a new Unraid version is release.

These are the individual driver packages which are compiled for each individual release for Unraid (at least when the Kernel changes).

Both of your Nvidia cards use the nouveau driver, which I'm not entirely sure why this is happening since the nouveau driver should be disabled by default on Unraid

Disabled, and confirmed in drivers status - strange nouveau was present, because it's a new USB image after I transferred disks to a new machine...

Rebooted but same issue with nvidia driver / detection

Any other suggestions appreciated

First of all:

Jan 16 17:44:20 Tower kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA GPU 0000:01:00.0 (PCI ID: 10de:1287)

Jan 16 17:44:20 Tower kernel: NVRM: installed in this system is not supported by open

Jan 16 17:44:20 Tower kernel: NVRM: nvidia.ko because it does not include the required GPU

Jan 16 17:44:20 Tower kernel: NVRM: System Processor (GSP).

Jan 16 17:44:20 Tower kernel: NVRM: Please see the 'Open Linux Kernel Modules' and 'GSP

Jan 16 17:44:20 Tower kernel: NVRM: Firmware' sections in the driver README, available on

Jan 16 17:44:20 Tower kernel: NVRM: the Linux graphics driver download page at

Jan 16 17:44:20 Tower kernel: NVRM: www.nvidia.com.

Your GT730 is not compatible with the OpenSource driver version.

Secondly:

61:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GB206 [GeForce RTX 5060 Ti] [10de:2d04] (rev a1)

Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device [1462:5351]

61:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation GB206 High Definition Audio Controller [10de:22eb] (rev a1)

Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:0000]

This basically means that something is wrong with some BIOS setting.

Please check if you are on the latest Firmware version from your BIOS, then make sure that Resizable BAR Support & Above 4G Decoding is Enabled in your BIOS.

What you can also try is to swap the cards physically in your Server since this sometimes also helps, if that also doesn't help try for troubleshooting to lower the PCIe Generation for the slot where you 50 Series card is in to Generation 3.0

Hi,

I've been running this plugin for ages and it's working great, I can use my GPUs (2*1080s and a 3070) in various containers, all peachy.

However, I'm trying to setup games on whales 'wolf': Quickstart :: Games On Whales and stuck at this line:

"One last final check: we have to make sure that the nvidia-drm module has been loaded and that the module is loaded with the flag modeset=1"

Is it possible to set that with this plugin? And if so, how? The quickstart talks about updating Grub which I'm not sure is applicable to unraid?

(it may also be that there is a problem with your hardware - riser cables,...).

is p400 too old to be supported?

i upgrade the plug-in and the gpu static dropped........

Gotta use 580, that's the last that supports that card.

Around a week ago I started having an issue when I click on "nvidia driver" in settings, it goes to a blank screen and never loads...plus it seems I can't access any other part of Unraid for several minutes...I saw there was a plugin update today but didn't fix the problem...
