[Bug 2068840] Re: No drm.ko.zst in noble (ubuntu24.04) /linux-modules-6.8.0

Hi Pramod,

I downloaded the driver version you listed, 550.90.07 from the NVIDIA
website:

https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/226768/en-us/

This gave me NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.90.07.run.

I managed to successfully install this to 6.8.0-31-generic, and 6.8.0-35-generic
without any issues. All I did was just:

$ sudo apt install build-essential
$ sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.90.07.run

I then tried the drivers we ship in the Ubuntu repositories:

$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550

and that worked on 6.8.0-31-generic too.

Sorry, I can't reproduce what your seeing. Is this a clean install of
noble, or did you upgrade from jammy?

Do you have linux-headers-generic installed?

Thanks,
Matthew

Unable to see the drm.ko or drm.ko.zst module in noble ( ubuntu 24.04 ) linux-modules-6.8.0 amd64 onward
drm module is required to install NVIDIA GPU driver on Ubuntu24.

We see only below modules:

For linux-modules-6.8.0-31-generic amd64 https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/amd64/linux-modules-6.8.0-31-generic/filelist
drm_ttm_helper.ko.zst
drm_vram_helper.ko.zst

For linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-35-generic - amd64
drm_buddy.ko.zst
drm_dma_helper.ko.zst
drm_exec.ko.zst
drm_gpuvm.ko.zst
drm_mipi_dbi.ko.zst
drm_suballoc_helper.ko.zst
drm_ttm_helper.ko.zst
drm_vram_helper.ko.zst

What it the alternative module for drm.ko/drm.ko.zst ?

However, we can see drm.ko.zst for s390x here https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/s390x/linux-modules-6.8.0-31-generic/filelist
