    Trouble with Nvidia Driver update

    Operating System: Kubuntu 26.04 LTS
    KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.6
    KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0
    Qt Version: 6.10.2
    Kernel Version: 7.0.0-2016-nvidia-bos (64-bit)
    Graphics Platform: X11
    Processors: 32 × AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-Core Processor
    Memory: 96 GiB of RAM (93,8 GiB usable)
    Graphics Processor: llvmpipe
    Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
    Product Name: MS-7E59
    System Version: 2.0
    Nvidia RTX 4090 ​

    I do mainly 2D/3D graphics. Because Lichtfeldstudio doesn't run under Wayland yet, I switched back to X11.
    I had Nvidia 595 installed vie GUI driver manager, but wanted to update to 610 because of "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" crashes with Blender.
    My first stupid mistake was that I forgot to setup Timeshift since upgrade to 26.04.
    Since the Nvidia update attempt, the system is running the Nouveau driver and ignores my 2nd screen.
    Code:
    [I]NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.[/I]
    I tried to purge with aptitude:
    Code:
    [I]sudo aptitude purge '~nnvidia'
    sudo aptitude autoremove[/I]
    I tried to install manually:
    Code:
    sudo aptitude install nvidia-driver-610-open nvidia-utils-610 nvidia-settings
    Code:
    sudo apt purge 'nvidia-*' 'libnvidia-*'
    sudo apt autoremove​
    ​​
    I tried blacklisting Nouveau and
    sudo update-initramfs -u

    In the meantime, I read 26.04 would use Dracut instead, but it seems not being installed.
    Also, I found there are kernel modules left installed, which supposedly are kernelmodules replacing the older dkms method:
    Code:
    sudo aptitude search '~i nvidia'
    i A linux-firmware-nvidia-graphics - Firmware for Nvidia graphics
    i A linux-image-7.0.0-1016-nvidia - Signed kernel image nvidia
    i A linux-image-7.0.0-2016-nvidia-bos - Signed kernel image nvidia-bos
    i A linux-modules-7.0.0-1016-nvidia - Linux kernel modules for version 7.0.0
    i A linux-modules-7.0.0-2016-nvidia-bos - Linux kernel modules for version 7.0.0
    i A linux-objects-nvidia-595-7.0.0-1016-nvidia - Linux kernel nvidia modules for version 7.0.0-1016 (obj
    i A linux-objects-nvidia-595-7.0.0-2016-nvidia-b - Linux kernel nvidia modules for version 7.0.0-2016 (obj
    i A linux-signatures-nvidia-7.0.0-1016-nvidia - Linux kernel signatures for nvidia modules for version
    i A linux-signatures-nvidia-7.0.0-2016-nvidia-bo - Linux kernel signatures for nvidia modules for version


    Is there a way out of this mess? How?

    #2
    one problem that is easy even for me to spot is that according to the nvidia website you should be using the 595.84​ driver with that GPU
