Hello! So I’ve been running EOS for about a year and things have been going pretty decent, but with my last system update things aren’t working so well. I think part of this issue is due to the fact I left the PC in hibernate for 3 weeks while I was dealing with some personal stuff and when I got back I decided to update the system instead of giving it a reboot first.
From my current digging, it appears that my system is no longer recognizing my gpu. When I put nvidia-smi into the terminal it gives me “no devices were found” and during boot I get a nvidia-drm error of “Failed to allocate NvKmsKapiDevice.” Due to the gpu not actually working, my second monitor also isn’t working. I’ve had similar issues with this in the past, but managed to fix it after some random tinkering, but I’m not finding much info I can wrap my head around on how to fix this one. I also tried using eos-shifttime but I was running to several issues with that. Figured it would be best to reach out to people who would know of a better way to fix this issue before I go trying to figure out shifttime.

I dug into things a bit more, it appears that I’m having similar issues and outputs to this thread from the arch forum, but my understanding of computers is lagging behind a bit to wrap my head around it.
I also attempted downgrading the kernel and nvidia drivers with no change besides nvidia-smi outputting this now. Attempted to do eos-shifttime and ran into issues downgrading both cuda and pipewire-pulse
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
