[PARTLY SOLVED] NVIDIA Driver Won't Let My Computer Wake Up

Message

Caitlin · #1 Post by **Caitlin** » 2017-07-20 02:49

I recently migrated from Jessie to Stretch. My favorite game (Pharaoh, under WINE) wouldn't work, and nvidia-detect suggested I install nvidia-driver, so I did.

My Power management options are set to Put computer to sleep when inactive for 10 minutes, and Put display to sleep when inactive for 10 minutes. So I walk away from my computer for at least that long, and then all is quiet.

But when I come back and press Ctrl, the processor box clicks and whirrs, with blue lights coming active, but the monitor stays dark. I can only get out of this state with the reset button.

There was a new strange bootup message:

[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.

A Google search suggested the command

systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

which yielded, among other messages,

modprobe: FATAL: module nvidia-current-modeset not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.0-3-amd64
modprobe: FATAL: module nvidia-current-drm not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.0-3-amd64

I could not find any binaries with those names but I did find folders named nvidia-modeset and nvidia-drm under /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/375.66/source. Does that mean I'm looking at building from source? I've done that before but I'm not really comfortable with it.

Prior to installing nvidia-driver, allowing the computer to fall asleep and then waking it up worked fine. I could even shut the power at the power strip, turn it back on later, and wake the computer up (does this mean it was hibernating rather than just sleeping?)

Under Jessie (without nvidia-driver) I had no problem letting it hibernate and then waking it up again. But I couldn't tell it to hibernate now, that never worked -- I had to let it put itself to bed after 10 minutes.

Possibly related: another game, Quadrapassel, worked before I installed nvidia-driver, but now that I've installed it, Quadrapassel won't work at all. (But Pharaoh under WINE works fine now.)

I took system backups just before installing nvidia-driver so unupgrading this change is no problem. But I really want to get Pharaoh to work, and it's been a long time since this driver was upgraded, so I do want to make that happen.

Any suggestions?

It would doubtless be helpful for us to know exactly how you went about installing the nvidia-driver. Even better if you (re)-installed it on the command line and posted the output.

Steve,

I just did a normal apt-get install. I did a purge and a new install, to get the output:

What is your hardware? Do you possibly have a dual GPU system, like an Optimus laptop?

Still some things are lacking from what you are telling us...did you follow the wiki and install the compilers and kernel headers? The driver build will fail if those aren't installed.

What build? What wiki? All I know is that the installation of nvidia-driver was "recommended". I did an apt-get to install it; that, to me, is an installation.

I have build-essentials and gcc; what else do I need? Is a build really required? How come there was no mention of this before (in the docs I researched)?

I have a generic tower case with 2 CPUs; I think there are two graphics circuits; one on the motherboard and one on a daughterboard. They don't work together, however; the second replaces the first.

Do you need more detailed hardware info? Where do I get that?

Yes, the Debian wiki has a entry on the procedure to install a "Debianized" version of the proprietary Nvidia driver from the non-free section of the repo. Part of the procedure ends up installing a package on your system that will build a kernel module for the driver, and that requires the kernel headers. I suspected from the failure of the driver that it did not build correctly due to the lack of headers--that's why I was trying to pry the complete output of the commands from you, and I still don't think you gave the complete output.

To make sure you are set up to build modules, install module-assistant and run as root or with sudo:

Code: Select all

m-a prepare

For system information, I like inxi--install that and give the output of

Code: Select all

inxi -F

as the regular user, please.

Dear Steve,

Let me make this totally clear in big shouty capitals: I DID NOT DO ANY BUILDS !

The ONLY commands I entered were "apt-get install nvidia-detect --no-install-recommends" and apt-get install nvidia-driver --no-install-recommends". The output of the second is posted 4 posts before this one. I never posted the output of the first one, but I can get it for you if you want it. There is no other output.

Shouldn't installing the binaries be enough?

I found the wiki you're talking about under https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#CUDA and looked at it. (This, just a few minutes ago, is the first time I've ever seen the wiki.) I'll have to study it some more.

Here is the output of inxi:

Never heard ofthe wiki before? http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=47078

sigh...

Also, nvidia-driver depends on nvidia-kernel-dkms (ref. https://packages.debian.org/stretch/nvidia-driver,) which automatically will try a BUILD of the source in the dkms package.
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/nvidia-kernel-dkms

You got a build failure in the output of the command when you installed nvidia-driver, but ignored it. That happens a lot. That's why I kept trying to get you to show the complete output!

Inxi also shows you are still running the free xorg nouveau driver, not the nvidia driver. This is no doubt due to the build failure. When it succeeds, you would see a message telling you that nouveau is blacklisted and advising a reboot.

Forget it...help yourself, read the wiki.

Your Wine issue is probably due to your running 64-bit, but the games are 32-bit, so you have to enable i386 multiarch and install the i386 openGL libraries. The Steam entry in the wiki shows how to do this.

Caitlin · #9 Post by **Caitlin** » 2017-07-21 17:27

Steve,

I tried purge/install (both with and without --no-install-recommends) several times and didn't see any attempt to build anything. Believe me, whatever came out of apt-get I posted.

It's getting late here; I'll look at the wiki some more tomorrow.

You may be tricked by the fact that "nvidia-driver" is a meta package. Therefore, purging and installing it will not do much. If you read the Debian Wiki https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... of_failure, you will see, that uninstalling should be done using the command

Code: Select all

# apt-get purge nvidia.

including the "dot" at the end.
Then reinstall "nvidia-driver" and check output for building errors, as Steve mentioned.

This time I DID see an attempt to do a build. Now I have something I can work with.

I'll study the steps Steve gave me and let you both know how it worked.

Well... now we see the build failure that I kept saying was happening really is there. The solution is simple--make sure you have the kernel module build environment set up correctly. Module-assistant and "m-a prepare" is your friend there --who can remember that header install command in the wiki offhand?

Caitlin · #13 Post by **Caitlin** » 2017-07-23 14:00

Well, I tried it again.

I had a bit of difficulty figuring out in what ORDER the steps should be done, but this is what I tried (after backing out my previous attempt):

First, I installed module-assistant:

Code: Select all

# apt-get install module-assistant --no-install-recommends

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  module-assistant

Need to get 0 B/101 kB of archives.
After this operation, 399 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Selecting previously unselected package module-assistant.

Unpacking module-assistant (0.11.9) ...
Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.6.1-2) ...
Setting up module-assistant (0.11.9) ...

So far so good.

Next I did the exports and attempted to "prepare":

Code: Select all

# export PERL5LIB=.
# export HOST_COMPILER=clang++-3.8
# m-a prepare

 Conflicting nouveau kernel module loaded

 The free nouveau kernel module is currently loaded and conflicts with
 the non-free nvidia kernel module.

 The easiest way to fix this is to reboot the machine once the
 installation has finished.

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-3-amd64                 I THINK THIS MEANS IT WORKED

Now it wanted me to check if I can adjust the screen brightness. I don't know where the control to do this is; I checked both System -> Control Center and System -> Preferences (under MATE) and there is no brightness control anywhere. I went to update either /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf (per the instructions) but those files don't exist.

I moved on to attempt to install the CUDA samples.

I downloaded the CUDA .run file and executed it:

Code: Select all

# sh /edisk/download/cuda_8.0.61_375.26_linux.run

Could not find toolkit after three attempts. Exiting...

The instructions say to install the samples but NOT the toolkit, but I think it wants the toolkit to be able to install the samples. I stopped at this point.

Question: if the driver is installed at this point, why do I need the samples, anyway?

Another question: I'm supposed to add "-ccbin clang-3.8" to the nvcc command line. Where do I find the nvcc command line?

Then I rebooted. The monitor resolution was altered; easy enough to fix, but it did show something was changed. Still no way to adjust the brightness and the files I'm supposed to edit to let me do so are still not there.

I was able to run Quadrapassel but not Pharaoh (under WINE). I think Nvidia de-installed something. A quick check on Synaptic shows that wine and wine64 are installed, but wine32 isn't.

I am open to suggestions.

I installed wine32 and now BOTH my favorite games are working.

But am I done? I still haven't installed the samples, and don't even know if I really NEED the samples.

If I have any problem with PC I always re-install OS. It solves everything usually

That's what the Bible says God did with the world during the Flood.

And the world and humanity never had had any problems since.

New news! I can now hibernate just by touching the power button. (And it even wakes up properly.)

But it's even better than that. I have a cable coming out the back of my computer, leading to a pushbutton, that's paralleled across my power button proper. So I can boot up AND hibernate just by pushing the external button (which is easier to get to than the power button itself). How nice!

I still don't know about those samples and the brightness control. (I'm tempted to quit while I'm ahead.) I can always go back to wearing sunglasses.

Thanks to Steve and cfb.

I just buy a new car whenever the old one needs an oil change.

Caitlin · #19 Post by **Caitlin** » 2017-08-07 10:03

I'm marking this thread PARTLY SOLVED because I can hibernate and wake up with no problems now, but I'm supposed to download the "samples" which I can't figure out to do.

If anyone can tell me how to download the samples, or at least tell me what they're for, please tell me.

Too bad these forums don't have any way to rate or downvote a post...
