Install nvidia drivers ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04

hypervisor.cpuid.v0 -> FALSE in vmware

sudo apt install build-essential  libglvnd-dev

First Disable nouveau & enable unsuported GPU’s for open source drivers:

  1. Go to: /etc/modprobe.d/
  2. Make a file: blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf
  3. Put this in the file:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
  1. Make a other “nvidia.conf” file and put this in the file: options nvidia
NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1
  1. Updat kernel init ram fs:
sudo update-initramfs -u
  1. Uninstall intel microcode
sudo dpkg -l | grep intel
sudo apt purge intel-microcode
sudo update-grub
  1. Reboot
  2. Go to the Nvidia site to the page to download the driver that you want.
mkdir tmp & cd tmp
wget https://es.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/515.76/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.76.run
  1. Copy the URL of the download butten and past it behind wget to download it to the current folder
  2. Sudo chmod 700 the file
sudo chmod 700 NVIDIA*
  1. Run the install file: sudo .\filename.run -m=kernel-open
  2. After the instalation reboot the server
  3. Test with nvidia-smi
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470-server
sudo apt install nvidia-utils-470-server

sudo lshw -C display
