I am using a ROG Zephyrus G16 laptop currently dual booting Windows 11 and Ubuntu 20.04. Windows works perfectly, however Ubuntu will not recognize the NVIDIA graphics card (4070).
We have tried installing with ubuntu-drivers install apt install nvidia-drivers-XXX as well as installing through software and updates->additional drivers tab. Everytime trying to reboot after install causes the blinking underscore or frozen boot.
Whats weird about our situation is when we go into recovery mode and run 'nvidia-smi' and the graphics card is recognized but still can't boot.
If there are any other solutions, PLEASE let me know. Thank you!
To solve this we have tried the following:
installing lightdm instead of gdm3
deleting/disabling /etc/X11/xorg.conf
tried disabling Wayland with nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and making it false
nano ~/.xinitrc and added exec gnome-session
sudo systemctl mask systemd-backlight@backlight:nvidia_0.service
sudo update-initramfs -u
we also purged gdm3 and reinstalled with a reconfigure
we created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf and put the following:
`Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia Card"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "true"
EndSection`
Thanks for any help.
