I've found a flaw in the test script in which it was installing the wrong LRM modules for the running kernel. It was installing the generic modules for a gcp kernel. Once I corrected this to install the gcp modules, it now passes.
Attached are the logs with the addition of `lsmod` and `modinfo nvidia` I think this can now be closed as a test error. ** Attachment added: "lunar-525-open-to-lrm-PASSED.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-525/+bug/2023042/+attachment/5679750/+files/lunar-525-open-to-lrm-PASSED.txt ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-525 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-525 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2023042 Title: "couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver" when installing open dkms and LRM drivers concurrently Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-525 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Installing "nvidia-driver-525-open" followed by "nvidia-headless-no- dkms-525 linux-modules-nvidia-525-gcp nvidia-utils-525" led to a system which complained about a "Driver/library version mismatch". Specifically what was done is: Deploy a clean google VM with: gcloud compute instances create fginther-kinetic-gpgpu-525 --image- project ubuntu-os-cloud --image-family ubuntu-2210-amd64 --machine- type n1-standard-4 --boot-disk-size=32GB --accelerator type=nvidia- tesla-t4,count=1 --maintenance-policy TERMINATE --restart-on-failure Enable kinetic-proposed (this was done with the 525.116.04-0ubuntu0.22.10.1 driver package). Install the 525-open driver first: apt-get install -y nvidia-driver-525-open Then install the proprietary driver: apt-get install nvidia-headless-no-dkms-525 linux-modules- nvidia-525-gcp nvidia-utils-525 After rebooting, "nvidia-smi" complained of the driver/library mismatch: ubuntu@fginther-kinetic-gpgpu-525:~$ nvidia-smi NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running. The /var/log/apt/history.log is attached which details the packages installed and removed.
