Nvidia Drivers Not loading

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to get my Nvidia card working, using offloading (as it seemed the simplest option).

I have the 4070 (laptop version).

I have pulled and put together all the configs from the Nvidia modules in the hardware repo and the items from the wiki. At the moment, I am not consuming the code from the hardware repo (my laptop model is not supported yet), and wanted all my Nvidia config in a single spot until I get this working.

Essentially, nvidia-smi nor nvidia-settings see the card. I searched this site, and the other fixes do not seem to apply.

Config:

{ lib, pkgs, config, ... }:

{
  # NVIDIA drivers are unfree.
  nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = pkgs.lib.mkForce true;
  # Sets the default video driver for the X server and Wayland to "nvidia"
  services.xserver.videoDrivers = lib.mkDefault [ "nvidia" ];
  hardware = {
    opengl = {
      # Enables the graphics driver for OpenGL
      enable = true;
      # Enables Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI), which allows the graphics driver to directly render graphics, improving performance in OpenGL
      driSupport = true;
      # Enables 32-bit Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) support, which allows the graphics driver to directly render graphics in 32-bit applications using OpenGL
      driSupport32Bit = true;
      # Adds the 'vaapiVdpau' package to the extra packages for OpenGL
      extraPackages = with pkgs; [ vaapiVdpau ];
    };
    nvidia = {
      # Modesetting is required.
      # Since NVIDIA does not support automatic KMS late loading, enabling DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) kernel mode setting is required to make Wayland compositors function properly, or to allow for Xorg#Rootless_Xorg.
      modesetting.enable = true;
      # Nvidia power management. Experimental, and can cause sleep/suspend to fail.
      # Enable this if you have graphical corruption issues or application crashes after waking
      # up from sleep. This fixes it by saving the entire VRAM memory to /tmp/ instead
      # of just the bare essentials.
      powerManagement.enable = false;
      # Fine-grained power management. Turns off GPU when not in use.
      # Experimental and only works on modern Nvidia GPUs (Turing or newer).
      powerManagement.finegrained = false;
      # Use the NVidia open source kernel module (not to be confused with the
      # independent third-party "nouveau" open source driver).
      # Support is limited to the Turing and later architectures. Full list of
      # supported GPUs is at:
      # https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules#compatible-gpus
      # Only available from driver 515.43.04+
      # Currently alpha-quality/buggy, so false is currently the recommended setting.
      ## Confirmed my card is in there.
      open = true;
      # Enable the Nvidia settings menu,
      # accessible via `nvidia-settings`.
      nvidiaSettings = true;
      # Optionally, you may need to select the appropriate driver version for your specific GPU.
      package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.stable;
      prime = {
        offload = {
          enable = true;
          enableOffloadCmd = true; # Provides `nvidia-offload` command.
        };
        # Bus ID of the Intel GPU. You can find it using lspci, either under 3D or VGA
        intelBusId = "PCI:0:2:0";
        # Bus ID of the NVIDIA GPU. You can find it using lspci, either under 3D or VGA
        nvidiaBusId = "PCI:1:0:0";
      };
    };
  };

}

#### NOTES
# Get BusID:
# lspci | rg "VGA|3D controller"
# it will be in hexadecimal format, convert it to decimal

Errors:

❯ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Depending on the revision of the gpu it might not be supported by the driver on the stable branch, since that has been frozen since november 2023.

I recommend trying a newer driver using the custom driver by copying a driver from the nixos-unstable branch: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/289292#issuecomment-1948782958

In addition you should take a look at your kernel logs for errors from the nvidia kernel module: journalctl -k -b --grep "nvidia"

Just for reference.

I will check out the other link you posted and see if that helps.

OK, I was going down the road of the article, then I noticed it is for the β€œsuper”. Which I do not believe this 4070 is. (Since it is a laptop GPU).

I also noticed this time around that the wiki highlights:

Note: As of early March 2024 the production driver has been updated from 535 to 550. This is a breaking change for some people, especially those on Wayland. To resolve this follow the steps under Running the new RTX SUPER on nixos stable.

So I moved over to package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.production; but unfortunately it did not help.

So, after the change, I checked journalctl again:

OK, Through trial and error, I think I had the wrong busid.

❯ lspci -s 0:0:2
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 04)
❯ lspci -s 0:1:0
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD106M [GeForce RTX 4070 Max-Q / Mobile] (rev a1)

I updated to the above, but I am still having the same issue.

le sigh

Side Question - What is the best way to get the busid in the proper needed decimal format on Wayland?

Just adding my most recent version of my config. Still having the same issues though.

Did I do something wrong in there that would cause my issues?

Thank you.

Hey, I also have a similar issue on a System76 Gaze18 (core i9 + RTX 3050) with plasma6.
I have access to nvidia-offload and nvidia-settings and nvidia-smi, but but the settings and smi complain that there’s no driver even when run with nvidia-offload.

Here is my nvidia.nix

  #boot.extraModulePackages = [ config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidia_x11 ];
  boot.kernelParams = [

  # Enable OpenGL
  hardware.opengl = {
    enable = true;
    driSupport = true;
    driSupport32Bit = true;
  };

  # Load nvidia driver for Xorg and Wayland
  services.xserver.videoDrivers = ["nvidia"];

  hardware.nvidia = {

    # Modesetting is required.
    modesetting.enable = true;

    # Nvidia power management. Experimental, and can cause sleep/suspend to fail.
    # Enable this if you have graphical corruption issues or application crashes after waking

    package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.stable;
    prime = {
      intelBusId = "PCI:0:2:0";

      offload = {

After a couple hours I got this:

OMG, almost 5 months later, I solved it!

The key thing here that fixed it all was initrd.kernelModules = [ "nvidia" "i915" "nvidia_modeset" "nvidia_uvm" "nvidia_drm" ];

I do not know if I should be happy it is fixed, or sad it took, this long.

Do you not have services.xserver.enable = true;? If it’s enabled, most of these are added to kernelModules, according to the Nvidia module.

Also, I don’t think you need to add nvidia-uvm (see this note):

Don’t add nvidia-uvm to kernelModules, because we want
nvidia-uvm be loaded only after udev rules for nvidia kernel
module are applied.

Re: xserver:

I do!

    services.xserver = {
      enable = true;
      # Enable the GNOME Desktop Environment.
      displayManager.gdm.enable = true;
      desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;

      # Configure keymap in X11
      xkb = {
        layout = "us";
        variant = "";
      };
    };

Re: nvidia-uvm:

I added it because I found this post on the nvidia forums.

I will remove that and test!

Thank you!
