Ubuntu

If anyone can see an obvious reason the hardware trans-coding is failing to see Cuda  I would greatly appreciate the help.

- Fresh install of 24.04 LTS, used the install propretary drivers option on install and it installed Nvidia 535 driver.

- Installed Nvidia supplied 550 driver.

Did you blacklist the 'Nouveau' driver?

Will do.  Never occurred to me because it installed proprietary drivers when I installed the OS

[tedfroop21 64]

emby2@emby2-PC:~$ lsmod | grep nouveau
emby2@emby2-PC:~$ sudo lsmod | grep nouveau
[sudo] password for emby2:
emby2@emby2-PC:~$

So - no nouveau driver.

What i did learn is "Message": "Failed to initialize VA /dev/dri/renderD128. Error -1" cannot be fixed.

vdpau-va-driver has been replaced with mesa-va-driver, which Nvidia propritary driver apparently no longer uses.

Just tried installing the beta and its the same...

 

"VendorName": "NVIDIA Corporation",

"DeviceName": "GA106 [GeForce RTX 3060]",

"SubsytemVendorName": "ASUSTeK Computer Inc.",

"VendorId": 4318,

"DeviceId": 9540,

"SubsytemVendorId": 4163,

"SubsytemDeviceId": 34984,

"DevPath": "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0",

"DrmCard": "/dev/dri/card1",

"DrmRender": "/dev/dri/renderD128",

"IsEnabled": 1,

"IsBootVga": 1,

"Error": {

"Number": -1,

"Message": "Failed to initialize VA /dev/dri/renderD128. Error -1"

 

Probably corresponds to the "[drm:nv_drm_master_set [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to grab modeset ownership" messages in the journal.

So,  @Luke,   are you guys aware of the significant changes in the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ecosystem that affect hardware decoding?

[tedfroop21 64]

Pulled out my old laptop (i7, Nvidia 780m) installed Ubuntu 24, and worked back through the drivers versions to 460 drivers with Cuda 11.4 and transcoding worked immediately.  Kept getting the "cannot init cuda" message with any 5XX series driver and Cuda 12.

Can't say for sure that's where the problem is because Cuda 11 has been removed from the repros for current OS Versions (22.04.4 ans 24.04.) and RTX 2nd gen cards because it is unstable with 2nd Gen Ampere hardware.

Or is it the GCC version that's the problem? 

The drivers for the 780 stopped development when the RTX was released.  So compatibility and the ability to use older GCC versions is built in.

For the RTX 3060.  All available versions of Nvidia Drivers use Cuda 12.1 -12.5    GCC- 13.2.04 is the oldest version you can use currently.  You will be able to install multiple versions, with the lowest version being 13.2.

Apparently this is to solve random instability issues with gen2 RTX hardware and previous drivers.

Looks like you have a permission issue.

Hi, have you taken a look at this?
