Public bug reported:
I just bought a new HP Omen15 gaming laptop with a GTX 1660 Ti Nvidia
GPU. I already updated its BIOS.
The computer has an issue with Ubuntu 20.04. After 10 minutes of login
to Ubuntu, the laptop starts the fan up and sudo stops working and the
internet fails. nvidia-smi works fine. I cannot turn off the computer
without holding the power button down.
I can get rid of part of the problem by putting in acpi=off into the
GRUB file before starting Ubuntu 20.04, however when I login to Ubuntu,
nvidia-smi says:
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA
driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and
running.
I have thus the following problem:
I can use the acpi=off option to ignore the GPU completely but I need the GPU
for nvcc compiler and running it for CUDA programming.
OR
I can run it without acpi=off (I’ve tried nouveau.modeset=0 and other options
in the GRUB file that can still allow nvidia-smi command to work but acpi=off
seems to be the only option that doesn’t cause trouble with Ubuntu 20.04).
However after 10 minutes (its almost always this time) sudo stops working and
internet fails and I cannot shut down the system properly!
perhaps I can use the acpi=off option but somehow let Ubuntu recognize
the GPU after login manually?
I noticed when the acpi=off option is set in GRUB file that on bootup
the NVIDIA persistent daemon fails to start. This might have something
to do with this??
please help!! I’ve used NVIDIA GPUs with Ubuntu before. I just never
tried on a gaming laptop myself before.
Thanks.
