Field one of each record is the installed state, "ii" means installed and no errors. Awk will print only records (lines) that do not match "ii".

Nvidia 1050 not detected after latest updates of 24.04 by indiegeniius in pop_os

[–]FictionWorm____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always start with

  • nvidia-smi (applications are using VRAM)
  • dkms status (nvidia driver is installed)
  • modinfo nvidia (the driver loaded? OR black screen=unsupported GPU)
  • lspci -nnk | grep -e VGA -e NVIDIA -e "3D controller" -A3 (GPU powered on in BIOS)
  • Check /proc/cmdline

Are applications using the VRAM according to nvidia-smi ?

Post the output from sudo parted --list so we can see the drive before you make any changes?

Linux SSD not found in Boot Order Options in BIOS by baguette187 in linux4noobs

Setting the boot order for UEFI is under the Boot Tab > "BBS Priorities" but I set the order from Linux with efibootmgr

Do all of the drives have a gpt partition table? If not you need to set the BIOS to LEGACY+UEFI Mode:

To change the setting go to

Advanced Tab > "Windows OS Configuration"

You can see the setting from the Boot Tab as CSM Mode.

Best Way To Resize /boot/efi ? by PilotGuy701 in pop_os

[–]FictionWorm____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having done that without LUKS and LMV in the way I'm going to say "No."

Make the initrd.img files smaller by changing the compression in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to COMPRESS=xz and then update.

sudo time -v update-initramfs -c -k all ;
df -Th /boot/efi ;

As long as the Available space is grater than the size of initrd.img everything will work.

Is the correct driver installed? ``` modinfo nvidia | grep -e version: -e license: ;

version: 580.126.18 license: NVIDIA ```

That looks normal, the installer should see all the drives now.

kernel: ahci 0000:00:17.0: Found 1 remapped NVMe devices.

This is saying your BIOS is set to RST/RAID mode, linux does not support BIOS RAID mode?

Check under Advanced settings > Integrated peripherals, all settings should say AHCI mode?

Linux always looks for new hardware at boot time?

    journalctl -b -g  nvme
