NVIDIA 590 drivers causes core-dump segfault at libwayland-client.so.0.22.0 when attempting to enable Ubuntu Gnome "Desktop Sharing" feature.
This is my first post and I am in need of help. I have recently dual-booted my PC with Windows 10 on one hard drive and Ubuntu on another. I managed to get Ubuntu running well, then I hopped back over to the Windows drive to check some things, then when I came back to the Ubuntu drive, the desktop was all glitchy. It was glitchy when I first tried to install Ubuntu, but fixed it, although I don't remember how. I can get Ubuntu to work in safe graphics mode (using the "nomodeset" in the GRUB boot menu), however even after trying multiple times to get the nvidia graphics drivers cleared and reinstalled, it still looks glitchy when I reboot. The glitchiness makes the desktop have a white background and the icons in the side bar all wonky. I know it is possible to get it working like it should, but how?
I recently added a second GPU (for local AI) and found that Steam fails to launch in the Gnome desktop on Ubuntu 24.04. The Steam window flashes up but then disappears immediately. This repeats every 10 seconds or so for a while. I can exit Steam using the menu from it's icon in the top right of the desktop.
Settings shows "dummy output." The windows partition on the XPS has sound.
Hardinfo2 says the audio is "null" and the vendor is "unknown"
I assume Canonical is working on this with Dell but hope that someone here has a workaround.
I'm currently doing a course on Cisco called Network Devices and Initial Configuration. In one of the labs, it's asking me to install Linux in a virtual machine and explore the GUI. I'm able to get to the below screen without issues:
...however, after following the below instructions, Ubuntu does not restart like it's supposed to:
Instead it just freezes at this page:
I'm using the latest version of VirtualBox, 7.6.2a and have Windows 11 as an OS.
I have a Mini PC called Beelink Mini S12 that I use as Media Server. I has Ubuntu Server 24.04.4 LTS with 6.17.0-14-generic kernel on it.
I did all setups like 6 months ago and after that never had to touch it again. it was 100% working well and stable until yesterday when I was not able to connect into it anymore.
Today after some investigation I found that it had lost the Ethernet connect and as I was using it connected into my router via cable I lost the access. I re-enabled the WiFi temporally to be able to work on it until I found and fixed the issue with Ethernet, but after trying everything I'm still stuck and I don't have my Ethernet connection back.
Here is some prints from my setup/Ethernet:

netplan that normally as only the Ethernet part and I leave the WiFi commented out:
I have no idea what is going as it was working before and I didn't update anything (at least not manually by myself).
I am using Ubuntu Desktop 22.04. When I play a video course from my external HDD the space in my laptop's HDD decreases to zero. This happens even if the available HDD space is more than 1GB. Where are these files stored?. How can I delete them to restore my laptop's HDD free space?
I have tried:
sudo apt clean in the terminal. There was no improvement in space usage.du -sh ~/.cache | sort -hsudo rm -rf ~/.cache/*My cache had 37GB. I had 2GB, but when I start listening to the video course, all these GB will go and I have to delete other files to free up space.
it complains

After a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04 on an Acer Spin laptop no sound is produced from either speakers or headphones. In the settings -> sound -> output, the bar moves when the test button is pressed. The output device - “Ice Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller” – can choose between Speakers or Headphones.
I installed pavucontrol. Pavucontrol shows both speakers and headphones: The bar in Volume Control moves when when I “Test Speakers”, but there is no sound. It is not muted in this setting.
Under Windows, speakers and headphones worked fine. What can I do to get the speakers and headphones working in Ubuntu?
I have the option to select HDMI / DisplayPort - HDA NVidia as a sound output device, but I'm not getting any sound. Using headphones works as expected.

I'm using byobu on 24.10, and there is some very strange behavior when using ctrl-P to show the previous command when (1) the previous command wraps to the next line, and (2) the elapsed time is part of the prompt.
When I do this, the place where I see the cursor, and the place that text is inserted into the edited command, are different.
For example: I have
[0.009s] me@machine:/tmp/a_directory_with_oh_such_a_very_long_name_five_boxing_wizards_jumped_quickly_4747474747363221987426874623948762387645239807423087$ ls file-1-with-a-long-name-
rurioewrewuioewrioweuoiwuepweoiurpoiuewr
-rw-rw-r-- 1 me me 0 Dec 7 06:59 file-1-with-a-long-name-rurioewrewuioewrioweuoiwuepweoiurpoiuewr
me@machine:/tmp/a_directory_with_oh_such_a_very_long_name_five_boxing_wizards_jumped_quickly_4747474747363221987426874623948762387645239807423087$
Note that the command wraps after name- in the line where I run ls.
Now I want to edit that command and change something not at the very end -- say I need to add in a flag after the command. I use ctrl-P, then ctrl-A and I now I see:
[0.009s] me@machine:/tmp/a_directory_with_oh_such_a_very_long_name_five_boxing_wizards_jumped_quickly_4747474747363221987426874623948762387645239807423087$ ls file-1-with-a-long-name-rurioewrewuioewrioweuoiwuepweoiurpoiuewr
-rw-rw-r-- 1 me me 0 Dec 7 06:59 file-1-with-a-long-name-
rurioewrewuioewrioweuoiwuepweoiurpoiuewr
me@machine:/tmp/a_directory_with_oh_such_a_very_long_name_five_boxing_wizards_jumped_quickly_4747474747363221987426874623948762387645239807423087$ 423087$ ls file-1-with-a-long-name-
rurioewrewuioewrioweuoiwuepweoiurpoiuewr
Look at the last line there: it shows the $ part of the prompt twice:
...9807423087$ 423087$ ls file-1-with-a-long...`
It's repeating the "423087" bit. Moreover, the cursor shows up at the first $. If I move forward so that I see the cursor after the ls and edit, then hit enter, I see:
me@machine:/tmp/a_directory_with_oh_such_a_very_long_name_five_boxing_wizards_jumped_quickly_4747474747363221987426874623948762387645239807423087$ 423087$ ls -h ith-a-long-name-rurio
ewreurioewrewuioewrioweuoiwuepweoiurpoiuewr
ls: cannot access 'file-1-w-h': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'ith-a-long-name-rurioewrewuioewrioweuoiwuepweoiurpoiuewr': No such file or directory
I tried to add -h, but the shell got that as part of the filename. What is being shown and what gets sent to the shell are different.
What is causing this, and how can I fix it? It is some kind of tmux bug? Is it related tot the weird thing with elapsed time on the far left?
I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 with dual monitor. In the Nvidia X Server Display Configuration menu, I'm seeing a "Prime Display" as third monitor and I cannot disable or delete it. Also, when I drag my mouse to most right, pointer is not stopping on the right edge and it's acting like I have a third monitor. Could you please tell me how can I get rid of it?

I have a dual boot dell XPS laptop with windows and Ubuntu 22. After the latest windows update GRUB is no longer in the boot options of the BIOS. I have also tried inserting a live USB of Ubuntu 22 and running boot-repair to no avail. Here is the log link: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fnGZXVXfyJ/
Any help is appreciated.
Every time I start Ubuntu 21.10 it goes into emergency mode. I have already tried to do in fsck.ext4 -y /dev/sdb3 and nothing keeps entering that mode that bothers me.
Linux: clean, 1363248/28057600 files, 68026124/112212224 blocks
You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or "exit"
to boot into default mode.
Press Enter for maintenance.
(or press Control-D to continue.)
I'm new to Ubuntu (20.10) and just installed it on my Raspberry Pi 400. I have my VMWare-Horizon-Client-2006-8.0.0-16522670.x64.bundle in the home directory.
I'm following this guide Install or Upgrade Horizon Client for Linux from VMware Product Downloads in order to install VMWare Horizon Client 2006 8.0.0 and keep getting the error "Unable to load gtk: No module named gtk, falling back to console."
While I know that VMWare Horizon says it can run on 20.04, could the reason be 20.10 is too new? The Pi400 doesn't have a 20.04 in the standard imager but I just figured it should work.
Otherwise, I think I might be missing these steps:
However, I am not sure how to perform them in the terminal (sudo apt-get install python, and sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module does not give me the gtk module). Any thoughts on what I'm missing?
I tried to install NVIDIA driver with software and update application, adding a PPA and install the package nvidia-driver-xxx , using the installer from NVIDIA, but all of these solutions don't work. I tried 390, 435 and 450 versions and I have the same problem.

When I try the nvidia installer (when I run it in console mode), it says:
Unable to load the 'nvidia-drm' kernel module
I try to install a prior version of the Nvidia driver 440 because I used a laptop and since driver 440, my second screen is not detected. I have a Lenovo Legion Y530 with a GTX 1060 6GB using Ubuntu 20.04 with Windows in a dual boot.
When i try sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall, it gave me the same error as the second screenshot.
I am on Ubuntu 19.10 Desktop, with GNOME as my desktop environment. My Conky window displays a "u" to the left of my Nvidia section, and the fan speed is nonexistent. My .conkyrc file is here.

I am trying to build the modules in folder "drivers/md/" using the steps in the answer How (recipe) to build only one kernel module?
But I am getting the below error

make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.0.0-36-generic'

what am I doing wrong?
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with Nvidia GTx 1080Ti GPU. I am concerned because recently the fan inside my Dell Precision 7920 is being turned on frequently, even when I am running one or two tabs in Google Chrome or running some simple apps.
Though I am not running any models in GPU, but nvidia-smi gives me only 2-3% of GPU usage, and there is nothing significant I can find in the System Monitor.
System Monitor:
My machine is a ASUS ROG SCAR-GL703GM-EE033T with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060. I installed Ubuntu 18.04 on it and the necessary software needed to run deep learning applications using its GPU.
I installed:
and everything looks fine, as when running the following command in a Python terminal:
tensorflow.test.is_gpu_available()
it outputs the characteristics of the NVIDIA card and "True". So the installation looks correct.
However when running an application for computer vision that uses pytesseract, I'm surprised by the long run time that may indicate the GPU isn't really used. To verify that, when the code is running I display in another terminal the nvidia-smi command that outputs:
As you can see the NVIDIA driver is 418.67. It is not the one recommended by NVIDIA website here with GeForce / GeForce 10 Series / GeForce GTX1060 / Linux 64-bit), but I tried unsuccessfully to install driver 430.67 with the following error message:
nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'
creation time: Thu Jul 11 17:56:00 2019
installer version: 430.34

nvidia-installer command line:

ERROR: An NVIDIA kernel module 'nvidia-uvm' appears to already be loaded in your kernel. This may be because it is in use (for example, by an X server, a CUDA program, or the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon), but this may also happen if your kernel was configured without support for module unloading. Please be sure to exit any programs that may be using the GPU(s) before attempting to upgrade your driver. If no GPU-based programs are running, you know that your kernel supports module unloading, and you still receive this message, then an error may have occured that has corrupted an NVIDIA kernel module's usage count, for which the simplest remedy is to reboot your computer.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
I then tried with driver 418 that ended up with tensorflow recognizing available GPU, so I continued with it.
Also, as you can see in screenshot no process uses GPU. And as you can see in the screenshot that Cuda version displayed is 10.1 althought before installing 10.0 that looked working best I erased all traces of previously installed 10.1. Why would nvidia-smi get this 10.1 version of Cuda?
Do you know, with my current configuration/installation, how to permanently make GPU available for my code running? Do you see a missing point in my installation?
Note:
I've been trying to install Nvidia driver version 430, however, when I run the command nvidia-smi, the output will always tell me that the driver NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Running nvidia-smi on v340 will not have the same output above. Instead, the proper gpu related output table will show up.
Additional Notes: My computer is running GPU Nvidia GeForce 820M which supports 430, however in Software & Updates, only nouveau and Nvidia v340 are listed. I've checked in Nvidia's website and my GPU supports v430.
Additional Drivers:
I recently updated from Ubuntu 16.10 to 17.04, and the graphic card is not working properly. It is showing this message as shown in the screenshot instead of the login screen.
I uninstalled the Nvidia graphics driver using tty1 but still the error persists.
I am unable to login to my Ubuntu desktop.
What should I do?
It seems like my Ubuntu 16.10 has successfully installed the Nvidia proprietary driver as shown in the below image.
...however it seems like the system is not using the graphics card.
I am not sure what should I do from here. I followed almost every step required to use the graphics driver, but it is still not using it.
There should be some way to configure to use graphic card on nvidia-x server settings, but it is not showing up on my machine.
Also, the output of glxinfo clearly shows that my system is not utilizing the nvidia graphic card.

(* My system is a laptop so I am pretty sure I didn't make mistake like My drivers recognize my graphics card, but nvidia settings do not )

I was installing cuda-8.0 for my project and followed this link, which asked me to download Nvidia Driver using .run file:
http://queirozf.com/entries/installing-cuda-tk-and-tensorflow-on-a-clean-ubuntu-16-04-install
along with which I blacklisted Nouveau Driver.
The installation was done by executing sudo service lightdm stop and then running the .run file.
Initially I faced some difficulties like login loop and black screen, but later solved them.
Now, when i try to execute commands like:
command: lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA -A 12 , gives output:

I think, the Nvidia driver is installed, but still not activated as the kernel driver.
Can someone help me figuring out the problem and how to solve it?
Please ask if any other info is needed.

I just installed Xubuntu 14.04 on an Asus gl771j laptop. It comes with an integrated Intel graphics processor and an Nvidia 860m graphics card. When I open the Additional Drivers settings window, I get No additional drivers available.
I got as far as getting this information, but that's it.

How can I install the Nvidia drivers?
I'm using an Acer Nitro VN7-571G-53N6 laptop with an Nvidia GeForce 840M. Ubuntu 14.04 boots to a black screen with this error message:
[11.128989] nouveau E[DEVICE][0000:03:00.0] unknown chipset, 0x118010a2
[11.129037] nouveau E[ DRM] failed to create 0x80000080, -22
I want to install Ubuntu 14.04 on USB stick, then install some drivers and programs on it and use it when I need.
I have one USB stick with Ubuntu 14.04 that I have used to install the OS on other PCs. The second USB stick is USB 3.0. I have both of them plugged in my PC and boot from the first one.
During the installation I have formatted the USB 3.0 drive to Ext4 and install the OS on it. It took a long time (about 4 hours). Unfortunately, after restarting the PC and trying to boot from the USB 3.0 I am getting the following error:
error loading operating system
Also, I have Windows 8, Ubuntu 14.05 and Ubuntu 13.10 on my PC. I have restarted again hoping that he Ubuntu installed on the USB 3.0 will be found, but it had not been.
Could you tell what I am doing wrong?
The USB 3.0 is 8 GB.
I have FL studio 10 installed on my PC through wine and it works perfect. The pre-installed vst's work but any I install (sylenth1, nexus2 and pianoteq) don't work. I have massive installed and it works. I am a little new to Linux but know the basics.
