Testing that it works
$ lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 2c05 (rev a1)
07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cezanne [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series] (rev c8)- Both GPU are seen
- you can plug the hdmi cable in whateber socket => it will boot on it
# OpenGL
Check iGPU is PRIMARY (Xorg / Wayland)
- opengl works on iGPU (motherboard HDMI)
does not work on RTX (cinnamon wm failing)- RESOLVED
$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
=> AMD Radeon Graphics$ xrandr --listproviders
- AMD provider (Sink, Source)
- NVIDIA provider (Source)But…
PRIME offloading
$ __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep renderer
=> Fail the same way as if primary (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
=> diagnosed it fail because of lack of privilege
=> sudo __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep rendered
=> WORKS!!see Permissions for resolution
# Linux Setup
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 is part of the 5000-series, which requires the Open Kernel Modules and requires driver 580 or newer. - Working 580-open Driver Guide
- linux support - chatGPT
- linuxmint 22.3 / ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic
- nvidia driver
- 570.211.01 - smi working
- 590.48.01 (recommended) - smi work the same - CUDA Verson: 13.1
Removing previous driver:
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
$ sudo apt autoremove
$ sudo reboot# Permissions
On a standard Linux system with proprietary NVIDIA drivers:
- nvidia-smi should work as a regular user
- glxinfo should work as a regular user
If encountering the permission issue check groups for:
$ ls -l /dev/nvidia*They should be either
- video
- or vglusers (which is typical when VirtualGL or remote GPU sharing / visualization software is installed.)
In my case it was vglusers. I fixed it by adding user to this group
$ sudo usermod -aG vglusers $USER
# then logged out / and relogIt is certainly linked to my xpra install
# CUDA
CUDA works as long as nvidia-smi sees the GPU and the driver is installed. OpenGL or graphics output isn’t required for CUDA compute tasks.
# Testing CUDA ⮺
Check that CUDA toolkit is installed
$ nvcc --version
# if above is missing
$ sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkitInstall CUDA Samples
$ git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-samples.git
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make deviceQuery
# test
$ ./Sample/1_Utilities/deviceQuery/deviceQuery
# If this require sudo (to fix nodevice found) there is a permission issuesee
