environment
Operating system: Centos 7.9
Graphics card model: A4000
nvidia driver version: 470
Stepping on the pit experience
I set my own graphics card model on the official website, and the recommended version is 515. At first, I didn’t suspect that it was a version problem. Could the official website recommend something wrong?
Use method 1 and method 2 described below to install. After installation, it nvidia-smican be displayed normally, but once restarted, the screen will be black and the graphical interface cannot be entered. I thought it was the wrong installation process, but after reinstalling the system many times, I am sure that it is definitely a problem with the 515 version itself. After all, there is no option to choose the centos7 operating system when the graphics card driver is recommended on the above official website, and it is likely to be 515. caused by incompatibility.
Finally, after installing version 470 through method 1, it restarts normally. It took two days before and after, and I was exhausted physically and mentally.
The system linux and nvidia have entered into cooperation early, so don't cheat the majority of programmers anymore.
method one
rely
yum install gcc -y
yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
Key and library links
rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
Install nvidia-detect and check the applicable version
yum install nvidia-detect
nvidia-detect
yum search kmod-nvidia
Get four centos7.9 suitable driver versions, the first one kmod-nvidia.x86_64is still the 515 version, after installation it will reboot to a black screen. Select version 470 to install
yum -y install kmod-nvidia-470xx.x86_64
After the installation is complete, execute nvidia-smi
the installation successfully. rebootreboot.
The installation is complete.
Method Two
rely
yum install gcc -y
yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
yum -y install dkms
To disable the nouveau
command is vim /lib/modprobe.d/dist-blacklist.conf
to comment out nvidialib, and add
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
reshape
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img.bak
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
reboot
reboot
Check after reboot
lsmod | grep nouveau
If nothing is printed then nouveau was successfully disabled.
Enter root authority
su
enter text mode
init 3
Install
cd /home/<用户名>/Downloads
chmod +x <驱动名>
./<驱动名>
nvidia-smi checks the results, shows that the installation is successful, and then restarts
reboot
If you can enter the image interface after restarting, it means the installation is successful.
