[18:24] hello guys [18:25] does anyone fancy helping me with drivers for my graphics card? [18:42] when i run 'sudo lshw -C display' i get: [18:42] description: VGA compatible controller [18:42] product: NVIDIA Corporation [18:42] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation [18:42] physical id: 0 [18:42] bus info: pci@0000:06:00.0 [18:42] version: a1 [18:42] width: 64 bits [18:42] clock: 33MHz [18:42] but there is no model number [18:42] I know its a rtx 3050 [18:43] i let ubuntu install drivers during installation and blender does 'see' the card, but when i render its only using the CPU [18:44] i dtried other drivers but that broke the system (no boot) so i had to redo the install :( [18:48] According to system profiler is had loaded the 2507 device driver, and i dont know if its the correct one [18:53] neofetch lists the card as: [18:53] GPU: NVIDIA 06:00.0 NVIDIA Corporation Device 2507 [18:55] glxinfo -B does find it [18:56] OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050/PCIe/SSE2 [18:56] and from there it look like the correct driver was loaded (535) [18:56] OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 535.86.05 [18:57] but, again, i go to blender and try to select GPU for render and it goes gray and dumps it on CPU :( [18:57] any help appreciated [18:58] nvidia-smi also lists the card [18:59] 0 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Off [19:14] just done some more digging with gpu-manager [19:14] s nvidia loaded? yes [19:14] Was nvidia unloaded? no [19:14] Is nvidia blacklisted? no [19:14] Is intel loaded? no [19:14] Is radeon loaded? no [19:14] Is radeon blacklisted? no [19:14] Is amdgpu loaded? no [19:14] Is amdgpu blacklisted? no [19:14] Is amdgpu versioned? no [19:14] Is amdgpu pro stack? no [19:14] Is nouveau loaded? no [19:14] Is nouveau blacklisted? yes [19:14] Is nvidia kernel module available? yes [19:14] Is amdgpu kernel module available? no [20:14] Sounds like a blender issue. I know we've had that trouble getting blender to work properly if it's not compiled with cuda support. [20:20] i fixed it! [20:20] i had to add my ser to the render group! [20:20] *user not ser
