I’ve installed TrueNAS with a fresh install of 25.10.0, and then updated to 25.10.0.1. In both versions i can’t find the Install NVIDIA drivers checkbox in the App > Settings menu. Also when trying to run nvidia-smi i get this error:
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
My current setup:
i5 13th gen
Nvidia T1000
16GB RAM
TrueNAS 25.10.0.1
Did you install the nvidia driver? The checkbox first gets available when the driver is intalled (it doesn’t get installed by default)
On the apps screen top right corner click on configuration → settings and see if the checkbox “Install Nvidia Drivers” is checked.
If not, check it, wait for the install and the restart of the apps service. Then the checkbox should become available.
I’m sorry for resuming the old topic because I have a similar problem on the same version.
I have the box checked
I uncheck them, reboot, then check again, then reboot
but the command does not work
sudo nvidia-smi
sudo: nvidia-smi: command not found
I test with an RTX 3050 but that doesn’t work either even though the gpu is clearly seen by truenas
lspci | grep -i nvidia
