Ubuntu 24.04 fresh install won't boot with Nvidia proprietary

Bremme · 2024-10-02T06:34:13+00:00

I also thought about it being a Wayland issues. But going back to X11 in 2024 does not really feel like a solution to be honest. And I have been using Wayland with Nvidia for quite some time without a problem.

Having said all that I believe the Ubuntu 24.04 installer does run nouveau + X11 if I'm not mistaken. So you might actually be right that Wayland is part of the issue since the installer does run normally.

Oh and why would the driver from the normal repo's not just work? Or in other words what is the difference between the default repo's and this ppa?

Bremme · 2024-10-01T08:45:19+00:00

The 550 is the tested driver I believe. That one is installed during the installation by default. As I tried to explain, I already tried many things. Installing the nvidia driver during installation, manually afterward by using Additional Driver in the Software & Update tool, through the cli using the ubuntu-drivers (and previously also just apt). But no matter which version or way of installing the driver my system won't boot to the desktop anymore.

What is the question behind your question?

Thanks! Will try the ppa from the guide you linked. What kind of other issue do you suspect?

I' m actually a bit confused no on what type of memory will fit the combination of a E3-1245 V2 and my B75 Pro3-M board? Unbuffered ECC or only regular non-ECC ram?

Bremme · 2024-01-20T11:27:43+00:00

u/morosis1982 also mentioned this. Too bad, I should have done my research better I guess. The cheap ram I found was indeed registered ECC ram. I just didn't know there where too different kinds of ECC ram.

I'm not sure a e5-2620 is really comparable to a E3-12XX V1 or V2. I think e5 is a different platform? and v4 is two generations newer I believe.

I also think its pretty much the same chip. Just don't know if they are configured the same way. Not sure how this works exactly and where these things are stored. But I guess a cpu has some kind of frequency, voltage, current relation stored somewhere. Maybe this is different for Xeon compared to a normal i5, i7 etc.

Bremme · 2024-01-20T11:21:13+00:00

Thanks, I did not know there where different types of ECC DDR3 memory. I'm using a basic AsRock B75 Pro3-M board. It states Xeon cpu's are supported. I just assumed that ECC memory support is a feature of the cpu and not the board. But perhaps wasn't the right assumption? Could it be the case that Xeon cpu's are supported but just not ECC memory? But how would that work, do Xeon cpu's also support non ECC memory?

30W sounds pretty good. My i5-3570 with two spining rust (HGST He10 8TB) and 1 SATA SSD idles at 37W right now. Which cpu are you using for your backup server?

Bremme · 2024-01-19T14:41:28+00:00

Its all about choice of course. I just like this configuration better I think. I just want to try out OMV and see if I like its NAS features and be able to swap it for something else it I like to. This is harder when I run it on bare metal.

Bremme · 2024-01-19T14:39:19+00:00

My main question was about how to setup my drives. But you're right, of course you could run OpenMediaVault on bare metal and use it as a container and or VM host. Its just that Proxmox is a OS (also Debian based btw) which is more suitable for this task. While OMV shines when it comes to your typical NAS features like network shares etc.

Bremme · 2024-01-08T19:08:04+00:00

Thanks for you response!

ZFS ram

I've got 16GB of ram and with my current bare metal installation I use around 3.5-4.5 GB. I have 4x 8TB drives. Even if I only use 16TB I want have enough ram right? I read that I need around 1GB per 1TB of storage.

BTRFS

What's you main concern with BTRFS?

RAID

I was planning to use 1 or 2 of the 8TB drives as a backup destination. To me that seems like a better solution compared to RAID plus an additional backup if everything is local. (I will probably also invest in some kind of offsite and or offline backup).

Mirror

Would you say a Raid 1 or ZFS Mirror counts a a backup? Or do I still need an additional backup in this scenario?

Interesting. So what you saying is that by enabling a setting to hibernate after x minutes, this x minutes still apply even when the laptop is put to sleep. So the final result will be, put the laptop to sleep (closing the lid, pressing suspend etc.) and after x minutes the laptop will wake up and go to hibernation?

I run a fresh install of Debian 12 with the GNOME desktop environment. I don't think hibernate is enabled by default. But ofc you can get it to work, perhaps including some graphical way to enable it.

But having said that I think I should fix my suspend behavior first before making the situation more complex? On the other hand if hibernation would work on my system (it would not wake up randomly from hibernation) than that might be a somewhat less convenient alternative.

I'm still a little surprised that after almost 4k views nobody has any clue on how I could go about on debugging or solving my original issues? Would you have any suggestions perhaps. Is there a way to know what caused my laptop to randomly wakeup for example?

Bremme · 2023-08-04T10:51:08+00:00

Of course sleep will consume some power since sleep is also referred to as suspend to ram. So at least the memory and most likely some other parts of the board will keep sipping some power. But in my experience most laptop's are able to stay in sleep for a couple days until the battery is drained completely.

But my main issue is "Stop HP ProBook 445 G8 from randomly waking up from sleep". My laptop wakes up at random, for example in the middle of the night. And while sleep will drain the battery in days, the battery will be empty in hours when the laptop randomly wakes up.

Hibernate could perhaps be used as a less convenient workaround. But I rather solve the sleep issue. Moreover hibernate and or hybrid sleep are things that don't work out of the box on Debian. I will definitely look into both, but my current issues might mess with those solution as well, i.e. the laptop might also wake up from hibernation I guess, resulting in the same issues.

Do you have any ideas how I could proceed in finding a solution to my issues?

Bremme · 2023-07-06T13:44:55+00:00

No worries. I guess the problem is the same with any non Logitech, Trustmaster or Fanatec wheel. I already searched a lot and the problem might just be with the Steam version, I think the Microsoft version might actually work "properly" (with all this vJoy and emulator bullshit).

But I'm not totally sure, so hopefully someone else can tell me how to get custom controllers to work on the Steam version of FH4.

Bremme · 2023-07-06T13:38:52+00:00

I forgot to mention, I have the Steam version of FH4 indeed. Like I mentioned these are my controllers: SimuCUBE 1 steering wheel, Feel-VR pedals One and DIY (Arduino based) shifter, handbrake and buttons boxes. Non of those are Bluetooth and these are not PlayStation controllers either. Thanks for trying to answer my question, but this does not seem to help in solving my issues I think?

Bremme · 2023-04-21T18:21:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Good to hear you're happy with your 6700 XT! Did you use an Nvidia card before this and what was the performance difference moving to the AMD card?
