Nvidia driver; Unable to load info from any available system

Unix & Linux Asked by whitewind on December 19, 2021

I can’t open nvidia-settings:

 ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

This is how I installed the driver:

I installed nvidia-detect, ran it and it showed the following output:

  Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
  02:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GP108M [GeForce MX230] [10de:1d11] (rev a1)

  Checking card:  NVIDIA Corporation GP108M [GeForce MX230] (rev a1)
  Your card is supported by the default drivers.
  It is recommended to install the
    nvidia-driver
package.

I then proceeded to apt install the nvidia-driver and rebooted the system.

inxi -G output:

Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 620 driver: i915 v: kernel 
  Device-2: NVIDIA GP108M [GeForce MX230] driver: nvidia v: 418.113 
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: intel resolution: 1366x768~60Hz 
  OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics (Whiskey Lake 3x8 GT2) 
  v: 4.5 Mesa 18.3.6 

sudo dkms status output:

nvidia-current, 418.113, 4.19.0-9-amd64, x86_64: installed

System info:

Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) x86_64 
Kernel: 4.19.0-9-amd64

I have tried purging and re-installing it but it’s always the same.

One Answer

your error message says:

It is recommended to install the
     nvidia-driver

and indeed, i found that installing the nvidia-driver package (in addition to the kernel-modules) helps tremendously.

the nvidia kernel-modules (e.g. nvidia-kernel-dkms) are required but not sufficient.
