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

ubuntu running without any work and sorry for my bad english !

i search long time for a solution but i found a solution for debian 13 trixie

sudo apt install libfdk* nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-driver nvidia-kernel-dkms build-essential yasm cmake libtool libc6 libc6-dev unzip wget libnuma1 libnuma-dev ffmpeg mpv

sudo apt-build-dep ffmpeg mpv

sudo reboot

sudo nano /usr/src/nvidia-current-550.163.01/dkms.conf

put this in

Has anyone tried with blackwell gen nvda GPU?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 working

Works correctly with IGNORE_PREEMPT_RT_PRESENCE=1 and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-580.126.18.run, on openSUSE Tumbleweed 20260220 and kernel 6.19.3-lowlatency-sunlight1(6.19.3).

cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf
//# Set value to 0 to disable modesetting
