Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Possible Driver Installation Needed on Qubes OS 4.2

User Support General

Hey here…
Is anyone willing to do some troubleshooting with me? I accept any advices here as I am out of ideas.

These are the steps that I followed:

  1. sudo qubes-dom0-update install gcc make kmodtool kernel-devel
  2. Downloaded/unarchived the driver: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-5xx.xxx.xx.run --ui=none --no-x-check --keep --extract
  3. cd Nvidia_<tab>/kernel and issued
    `make IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1 CC=“gcc -DNV_VMAP_4_PRESENT -DNV_SIGNAL_STRUCT_RLIM”
    mv nvidia.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/video/
  4. sudo depmod -a; modinfo nvidia
  5. Disable nouveau by adding rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau option in /etc/default/grub at the end of line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX (I put it in the first line because I have a second line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX)
  6. Install the new grub config with grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/grub.cfg
  7. echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
  8. Reboot
    (the steps are a mix of Nvidia proprietary driver installation and Nvidia driver installation - #2 by dhn)

For some reasons… the driver doesn’t seem to work. Anyways, I don’t understand how the management iGPU vs dGPU is working. do I have to disable iGPU and force dGPU by default in BIOS or what?
TLDR: I have 2 video ports that are wire connected to the dGPU and I can’t use them without a working Nvidia driver. I really need 2 external monitors for work purposes.

What else should I do or what I didn’t do correctly? How exactly can I check what and why is not working?
It is really frustrating because there are users here that successfully installed the dedicated Nvidia driver. in dom0.
