May I ask first what you want to do with card?   If you want to use this card in Docker container this isn't possible. You need to be at least on driver v418.81.07 and the card needs to be at least Kepler based to use it in Docker containers(see documentation here).   If you don't want to use the card in Docker containers and only want to install the driver so that you save some power, that is not possible with this plugin and even if would be possible it wouldn't save m

HEADS UP FOR LEGACY DRIVER   Starting with unRAID 6.13, I'll be wrapping up support for the legacy Nvidia v470.xx series drivers.   This means that Kepler GPUs (Nvidia 6xx and 7xx series cards) won't be supported anymore.   Why? They're are not compatible anymore with newer Kernels that ultimately Unrid 6.13+ will use.   If you're on the 6.12 series, know that it's the last stop for these legacy drivers.

Yes, why not?

I don‘t do anything special to the drivers. These are the default Nvidia drivers with the necessary components for usage in Docker containers.

The device is shown as "NVIDIA Device" everywhere in the system except on the driver settings page where the name of the card appear.

You can see that one card is name correctly but not the RTX 4070

But that is not my plugin...

What does the plugin page say?

 

The screenshots that you've sent is just how the card identifies to the system. This is strictly speaking not related to my plugin.

Why the name of the card is right only on your plugin ?

Because these data is pulled from nvidia-smi

 

I really don't see the problem here...

Please keep in mind the first screenshot that you've sent is just from the PCI devices and doesn't have to reflect the real or better speaking the full name from the device that you've plugged in.

I just read it.There is the diagnostics.thanks

The package is was not downloaded correctly, are you sure that you've waited for the Done button to appear?

 

Please uninstall the plugin, reboot, the install the plugin again, wait for the Done button to appear in the download dialogue (this can take a long time depending on your internet connection) and don't close it with the X.

Yes but not practicable.

 

I would rather recommend that you Download the plugin, wait for it to error out and download the driver package including the md5 file from here.

 

I would recommend that you set it to a static version, for example in this case 530.41.03 and then place the downloaded files in:

/boot/config/plugins/nvidia-driver/packages/5.19.17/

 

These would be the two files that you need:

https://github.com/ich777/unraid-nvidia-driver/releases/download/5.19.17-Unraid/nvidia-530.41.03-5.19.17-Unraid-1.txz

https://github.com/ich777/unraid-nvidia-driver/releases/download/5.19.17-Unraid/nvidia-530.41.03-5.19.17-Unraid-1.txz.md5

 

After that reboot and everything should work, please don't forget to set it to a static version on the plugin page and download the correct package.

 

However if you want to use the card in a VM then you don't need the plugin anyways...

Latest Production Branch version is 525.116.03

 

I will take a look into that but please give me a few days.

I'm having the "Production Branch: Not Found for this unRAID version!" issue as well. I'm currently running driver 525.89.02. If there is anything I can provide to assist in the investigation please let me know! Thanks for looking into it!

As said previously (I think on page 123), I will look into this in a few days or better speaking on Tuesday.

 

It could be the case that this has something to do with the fact that there are now many drivers for 6.11.5 available and I recently made a change so that the Legacy driver is always visible.

 

This won't affect the functionality from the plugin itself, the latest production branch driver is 525.116.03

Yeah I saw that. I just wanted to add my report so that you knew it wasn't an isolated issue. I'll manually set the version and await further update from you and again, if there is any troubleshooting information I can provide I am happy to provide it.

This plugin isn't playing nice with the GPU statistics plugin (I THINK that's the culprit). whenever I navigate to dash the nvidia plugin repeatedly hits each of my CPUs cores one at a time at about 30-40% usage. the spike stop when I navigate away from the dash
