Installing NVIDIA drivers on a realtime Linux (PREEMPT-RT)

nvidia-driver-realtime.sh

# Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and X11, 2019

# 1. Download NVIDIA driver as a .run file

# 2. Stop X-Server
sudo service lightdm stop

# 3. Blacklist Nouveau driver
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

# Insert into file:
#  blacklist nouveau
#  options nouveau modeset=0

# 4. Update kernel initramfs
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot  # I'm not sure if needed

# 5. Install driver!
sudo IGNORE_PREEMPT_RT_PRESENCE=1 bash <*>.run  # Insert downloaded .run file

# 6. Reboot
sudo reboot

Worked on Ubuntu 20.04 with 5.15.107-rt62 kernel, thanks a lot

Thanks, following this setting, I succeed.

Succeed on 5.15.0-rt17 with ubuntu 20.04.6 . I hesitated when it popped out saying "GUI has better supporting installation versions." Thank you.

It worked on Ubuntu 22.04 RT with NVIDIA 535

I also installed the RTK on an ubuntu 20 machine with NVIDIA gpus. The machine was working fine for awhile, but now the system only boots into command line after showing "ACPI BIOS Error". startx fails from this command line environment. I'm wondering if installing the RTK with IGNORE_PREEMPT_RT_PRESENCE=1 is the root cause of my issues. (Desktop env failing could indicate problems with graphics drivers).

Tested on Ubuntu 22.04.5 with version 550 run.sh, works.

Worked on Ubuntu 22.04.5 with 5.15.0-1072-realtime and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.127.05.run
