So I’ve been trying to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on my homelab so I can get my fine ass art generated using Automatic1111 & Stable diffusion. I installed the Nvidia 510 server drivers, everything seems fine, then when I reboot, nothing. WTF Nvidia, why you gotta break X? Why is x even needed on a server driver. What’s your problem Nvidia!
It didnt open the parts of the driver that mattered
The kernel modules were opened, which is absolutely relevant, it’ll make the entire process easier for many. The thing is that it’s not the same drivers, this open variety is pretty bad still and the code is simply not good enough yet to be incorporated into the Linux kernel. They were working on it, but it’s gonna take time.
