A small glitch in 8.4.9?

[Badsinger]

Hi Folks;

I have 2 boxes running Nvidia cards in Linux Mint 22.1. On both systems, after any restart, both video cards are unrecognized. You can see it on the web control page by a square bracket around the card type, ie [GeForce RTX 4080] instead of the normal GeForce RTX 4080.A quick reinstall fixes the problem but I'm curious why it's happening at all. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

This seems to be Mint Linux 22.1 issue. I have a test system with it and it behaves exactly the same.
For a moment resolution is to restart fah-client service upon the reboot. I know, this is stupid, but yeah...
sudo systemctl restart fah-client

It also happens on kubuntu 24.04 atleast to me.
I fixed it permanently by adding myself to the fah-client group; sudo usermod -a -G fah-client username then logged out and back in.
Then issued sudo fah-client let it launch sudo systemctl restart fah-client closed it and rebooted.
No more permission issues upon reboot.
Also did you do any of amd's perquisite's? you should do at minimum

Code: Select all

Grant GPU access to all users on the system

    Create a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-amdgpu.rules with the following content:

    KERNEL=="kfd", MODE="0666"
    SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="renderD*", MODE="0666"

    Reload the udev rules:

    sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

This configuration grants all users read and write access to AMD GPU resources, including the AMD Kernel-mode GPU Driver (KMD) and Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) devices.

per this https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/inst ... sites.html

Nothing special for AMD, just what is outlined in my ultimate rocm guide
This issue was not present on mint 22.0, on the same pc
