I have this mini PC that I want to use for ML inference, so I tried installing Ubuntu (22.04 and 24.04 / desktop and server) on it but after installing the nvidia drivers (570, 550, 535 and 470) on that fresh install, the driver isn’t able to connect to the card (RTX 3060 laptop). nvidia-smi shows “No device found”, what could be the issue in my case and how could I fix it?
I have looked everywhere but no solution seems to correct my issue.
I have add my bug report in the hope it could help anyone to help me.

I know it says datacentre but have you tried these instructions, as some people have found they help:
make sure you do the pre and post installation steps.
The open driver should be ok with your card.
BTW what does lspci (at the command prompt) tell you about your card?
Replying from an other account because I don’t have access to my laptop right now.
It is the document I followed for the driver install (all different ways) that resulted in the error.
I also tried with ‘ubuntu-drivers’ but same issue.
‘lspci’ gave me the following :
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] [10de:2520] (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:228e] (rev a1)
So the GPU is recognize by the OS yet the driver cannot catch it.
I tried googling:
RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0x56:1610)
from your logfile, several people seem to have seen this in various circumstances which may or may not be similar to yours.
I also did a search on these forums and that threw up further instances.
One suggestion was to add a kernel parameter (no idea what it does but it worked for them):
“Please set kernel parameter
nvidia.NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1
to actually enable the -open driver.”
Hopefully you will find something to help. Best of luck.
