GTX 1080 Card Does not Show up

MrCaspan · November 29, 2024, 3:15am

SO I have upgraded from Scaled 24.04 to 24.10 and for some reason my Nvidia GTX 1080 card will not allow me ot use it properly. It shows up under lspci | grep NVIDIA

admin@truenas[~]$ lspci | grep NVIDIA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1080] (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

If I do a nvidia-smi i get:

So everything looks like the driver is installed and there are no other errors in the logs. But when I go to Apps > Settings there is no check box checked that shows the NVIDIA Drivers are installed. Ther eis actually no option for Nvidia Drivers

I want to use my GPU on Frigate and Emby for transcoding and detection in frigate

I can see the option in Emby for the GPU and it’s selected
Emby

But in Frigate I see the same option to select the GTX 1080 but I can’t save it as I get this error

I have no idea what hte actual issue is but its like the driver is half installed or its the wrong driver

Ugg so it took me a bit but if anyone else is having this issue please follow the following steps:

Go to System > Advanced Setting and check to make sure your GPU is not listed as isolated. I have never set my GPU as isolated but after teh upgrade it was set as isolated. If your is then configure it and ignore the warning and unslect the GPU to be isolated

In the Apps > Settings menu make sire the Install NVIDIA Drivers is checked

Now my system went weird after this and no Nvidia GPU setting showed up on frigate or emby to allow the use of Nvidia GPU. But after about 10 reboots and screwing around it finally showed up. I have no idea why but it showed up. Problem was now if I enabeled it I got the error above. If you read through the entire thing there is one thing that stands out, the error that says

base_v2_0_21.error.RenderError: Expected [uuid] to be set for GPU in slot [0000:01:00.0] in [nvidia_gpu_selection]

When I did a search for that I found this article 24.10 (Electric Eel) Version Notes | TrueNAS Documentation Hub which says this is a known issue when upgrading to 24.10 adn give a solution to solve the problem

Go to the System > Shell sudo midclt call app.gpu_choices | jq

This will give you a list of all your GPUs just look for your Nvidia one and copy down the UUID (highlight it and hit ctrl+insert)

For each application that experiences the error, run midclt call -job app.update APP_NAME '{"values": {"resources": {"gpus": {"use_all_gpus": false, "nvidia_gpu_selection": {"PCI_SLOT": {"use_gpu": true, "uuid": "GPU_UUID"}}}}}}' Where:

APP_NAME is the name you entered for the application name, for example “frigate” or “plex”.
PCI_SLOT is the pci slot identified in the error, for example “0000:2d:00.0” with no square brackets
GPU_UUID is the UUID matching the pci slot that you retrieved with the above command.

This will run and show a small progress bar and then seems to dump all the values for settings for the container. Just ignore the output unless its an error. I did this for both frigate and emby and hten went to the apps and edited their configuration and saw that Nvidia GPU was selected. I stopped and started the apps and verified the GPU showed up

Hope this helps someone else!!!
