Hi guys, I’m new to all this and I have a question.
I’ve installed a gpu in my truenas machine to use jellyfin and when I boot up in truenas the fans of the gpu stop working. They work fine when the machine is booting but when it boots and truenas is loaded they stop working.
Is there something I can do or this is normal?
Additional question, can I download any type of driver for this gpu? (gtx 1050)
Unknown, generally all fans spin up to 100% at boot. Generally the GPU fan will not run until it starts to heat up.

To my knowledge, the fan curve on a gpu is set on the gpu’s bios. It can be controlled by certain software (for example msi afterburner, or nvidia-settings on linux).
I’m 85% sure that nvidia-settings aren’t included on truenas scale, so the gpu will fall back to whatever fan curve is set on its bios. Most gpus don’t spin up fans until they hit whatever specified °c

As mentioned above, a good number of these GPUs will have “0rpm” or “0db” modes configured in vBIOS to not spin up the fans until the core/hotspot reaches a certain temperature, because there’s no point running the fans for web browsing. Maybe put it under some load and see if they spin up automatically.
I think nvidia-settings has xorg as a dependency, so probably not
