Hey guys, A few days ago I installed KDE Neon with plasma 6.3 again. Now, as always, the problem with nvidia. In the terminal I can only choose between the 435 and 550 drivers. Currently, however, there is already the 570 driver. Problem when I install the 565 or 570 my system only gets problems and no longer starts. Is that because KDE reserves the safe right first or am I doing something wrong?
This is how the driver seems to run currently. Oh yes, my graphics card is the RTX 4060 GPU.
Never, ever, download the driver binaries direct from Nvidia and install them using the .run file in the case you canāt find them in official Ubuntu repoās - Doing so will result in issues as important packages get overwritten.
Always install Nvidia drivers using your distroās package manager.
The latest Nvidia 570ās are available under the Nvidia Launchpad PPA, Iāve been using this PPA under KDE Neon for years now and Iāve never once encountered an issue:
To install drivers using the PPA, open terminal and execute the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-570
The very latest 570ās have just been released and arenāt available under the PPA as yet, they should be available within the next few days. However the 570.86.16 drivers are available at the present time. Iām using them along with an RTX 4070S and they run great.
Okay, but before that I should remove the 550 driver, right?
OMG it worked. The 550 was replaced by 570. But I still have a question Inst the normal that the graphics cards in the I fo is not yet displayed? See picture
I experienced the llvmpipe issue running KDE Wayland under Nvidia, installing the Nvidia EGL library libnvidia-egl-wayland1 fixed it for me.
sudo apt install libnvidia-egl-wayland1
Should do the trick. See here:
Hey, I executed, but it shows me in the terminal that linbvidia-egl-wayland1 is already available with the latest version and according to the system info still the same problem.
I think youāve overwritten an important package by installing drivers direct from Nvidia using the .run script.
The iGPU seems to be working, but the dGPU is using llvmpipe, which is essentially software rendering. The only fix I can think of is to reinstall and install drivers as outlined in my previous post.
Hey, I have now redone everything and exactly step by step as you told me. Unfortunately, I still get the messages. See photo.
Just FYI: You are using the nouveau drivers here
Okay, sorry if I ask that, but thatās what I was written as above. Isnāt the driver good?
If you donāt play games, youāll be fine
But I like to gamble. Just as I installed steam. A window opened that I should install the following
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-570:i386
@jsalatas I just entered lsmod | grep nouveau and nothing appears. Therefore, nouveau should no longer be active. Or am I seeing this wrong? My goal is just to get my graphics card running and have it displayed in the system information. As it stands now, I have installed the 570 driver as indicated above.
With the command: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i ādriverā the following appears
herbert@herbert-laptop:~$ cat /car/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i "driver"
cat: /car/log/Xorg.0.log: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

It seems based on your last screenshot that you are running the nvidia drivers (version 570)
Yes, thatās correct
The OPās not running Nouveau, the Nvidia drivers are loaded and running. For some reason llvmpipe is being used, which means the dGPU isnāt being utilized and rendering is being done in software.
To the OP, can you disable the iGPU in UEFI?
@BulletDust I looked in the BIOS. I canāt find any setting on graphics there. I use the MS-17L5 in my laptop. 
Does anyone else have any ideas what I can do?
Do this at your own risk.
You could try:
sudo apt remove nvidia*
sudo apt purge nvidia*
sudo apt autoremove
To fully remove all traces of Nvidia software. Note that you may reboot to a TTY as opposed to a desktop.
In TTY, enter:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-570
Wait for the drivers to install and reboot.
Otherwise, an OS reinstall and reinstall of the Nvidia drivers via the Launchpad PPA may be in order. I think you still have a software conflict due to the fact you installed binaries direct from Nvidia using the .run script.
@BulletDust I had completely deleted the system and did exactly that. Accordingly, he should have no problem with the.run file. Because the hard drive has been completely erased. The system does not seem to load the modules properly and still turns to the internal graphics card
