Nvidia 5060 Not Working While Using Goldeye 25.10.1

TrueNAS General

@Biohazardious What happens to apps/VMs that are set to use NVIDIA GPU and the inserted driver is not available at reboot? Crash?

22

Well it depends. If current original Truenas driver supports your GPU, then you are good to go. Yet for myself. It just happened today. I have two GPUs on my server.

  • NVIDIA T1000 8GB
  • NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell (Which have GSP bug as well)

I upgraded my Truenas to 25.10.7 and dockers started to crash. Interestingly Truenas started to became not responding after a while as well so I built the working driver on my PC and rebooted Truenas, quickly copy the nvidia.raw file and deployed via script. After complete everything started to work as charm.

Ok. I have a 5060 Ti and thinking that should I use this patch or wait for TN26 that has a updated driverā€¦

24

It is pretty easy to use if you want to.

25.10.6 should work with your NVIDIA 5060 Ti. See second release note on driver update by default.

26

Thatā€™s the interesting part. When I updated from 25.10.5 to 25.10.6, drivers worked out of box yet I decides to install latest drivers anyway via my installer. Today I updates from 25.10.6 to 25.10.7 default Truenas Nvidia driver didnā€™t work for me, so I install the latest nvidia drivers again and it started to work.

What video cards do you have in your system? There are two different driver models in play. Default in TrueNAS is the NVIDIA open GPU kernel module. Older cards like the T1000 and RTX Pro 2000 need the closed driver models and have to get a workaround to get it installed on TrueNAS.

You canā€™t run the open and closed drivers at the same time. Itā€™s one type or the other.

Both versions should be the LTS version 580.173.02, I think

28

I just bought the 5060 Ti so thatā€™s why the pondering about how/when to get it working in my TrueNAS Scale.

@Jatrabari post full details on your current system, os version and what apps you have tied to your current video card. Advice on how to proceed depends on your current setup and what your GPU change is.

@SmallBarky No need, Biohazardious already answered I was looking for.

Biohazardiousā€™ update to 25.10.7 caused a crash or unresposiveness after the update and then after driver installation everything was ok again. So there will be some problems if the driver isnā€™t there after update reboot.

@Biohazardious Does the preinit persist script show also in the GUI when it is implemented?

I am still on 10.5 so I think the best path for me, and the least amount of problems, is to update to 10.7, build the driver and implement it persistently (if there is 10.8 update yet before 26.0), install the card to MB and then boot to TrueNAS and the new driver will be there to pickup the card. Then configure my apps to use the GPU at their pleasureā€¦
