• Nvidia kernel module is not loaded

This is the issue and this is one more output

[] × 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.

We’ve already been in touch on telegram.

The root of the issue is that your NVIDIA card is not being detected (at all).

Lspci:

Garuda's PrivateBin

What if you load an older snapshot, the oldest you have?

Questions (perhaps it’s replied in telegram)
It’s a RTX 3050, right ?

• Windows dual boot: Probably (Run as root to verify)
  On this os the gpu is running well ?
  If not, disabled in bios ? Yes → enable the gpu → boot into garuda and ?

Enabled in bios → install a different kernel then reboot in this kernel = ?
Konsole: sudo pacman -S linux-mainline linix-mainline-headers
If the card is detected reinstall the zen kernel.
sudo pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers
If any error → pls post log.
Pls reset the bios to default, reboot in bios and make the correct settings that you can boot garuda. (fast / secure boot off ; AHCI mode; UEFI not CSM)

That is not working bro i tried this one.

[noname-214230]

Okay, Let’s try this one.

[gampel]

And as test, take a live iso and boot into. But option open source driver. (pls download the current live iso)
Open konsole, garuda-inxi, if you see there the nvidia gpu, well, then step deeper.
If you don’t see the nvidia gpu, sorry, then the gpu is faulty. (my mind)

And pls answer the questions, without info, how is help possible ?

@noname-214230

Okay, Let’s try this one.

It’s not enough.

Nvidia-kernel is not loaded

I fixed that. In my case my system put my gpu it into Hybrid mode, in that time only amd_gpu is enabled. It has a simple solution but crucial. (if secreboot is turn of and your system show nvidia kernel is not loaded)

Steps

1. Install ”nvidia-prime” & ”supergfxctl”
2. Then enable and start the service ”systemctl enable supergfxd.service”
3. Then stat using this command ”systemctl start supergfxd”
4. Now, check what mode you are running by ”supergfxctl -g”
5. If you are in HYBRID mode then just start an application using ”prime-run” and your nvidia gpu auto run as it. EG - ”prime-run steam”
6. Then just run “garuda-health –fix”
7. Next ”reboot” your system and all fixed.
