 Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2021 8:13 am Post subject: nvidia module stopped autoloading [solved] |
 |
|
for some reason in the last 2 days, the nvidia module stopped autoloading on boot.
I've not been able to understand why, here is what I see:
| Code: |
# ll /etc/modules-load.d/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19 Jun 16 21:35 /etc/modules-load.d/drm.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63 Jun 16 21:41 /etc/modules-load.d/lm_sensors.conf
|
| Code: |
# cat /etc/modules-load.d/*
drm
drm_kms_helper

however after fresh boot:
| Code: |
# lsmod

trying to load the module ends uike this:
| Code: |
# sudo modprobe nvidia 2>&1
modprobe: ERROR: could not find module by name='nvidia'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
|
here are all the modules:
| Code: |
# ll /lib/modules/5.12.12-gentoo/video/nvidia*

if I load drm_kms_helper manually:
| Code: |
# sudo modprobe drm_kms_helper 2>&1
# lsmod

and try to load the module again, I get this:
| Code: |
# sudo modprobe nvidia 2>&1
modprobe: ERROR: could not find module by name='nvidia'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
|
no errors in dmesg, see:
| Code: |

and after that I restart the display monitor script and have login.
any ideas?

Given udev doesn't recognize nvidia modules, the "normal" way to load nvidia drivers is by using nvidia-modprobe -m. It's suid-root and executable by members of the video group, and it's automatically used once an nvidia library needs a module (like if something is trying to use cuda/opencl it'll load nvidia-uvm). Assuming your nvidia-modprobe is functioning normally and you and your display manager are in video group, then there should be no need to do anything.
| Code: | $ ls -l /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe
-rws--x--- 1 root video 39464 Jun 19 09:47 /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe |
As far as nvidia-drivers go, nothing changed in the way modules are loaded since a few months ago (which changed an udev rule back then, but I doubt it's related). |

can it be a kernel issue? I'll try to load the first kernel I had the driver working

System.map was missing, after making sure it exists, the modules autoload
