[Solved] GPU ZimaOS V1.4.2-alpha1

isanto1306 · July 2, 2025, 10:21am

ZimaOS V1.4.2-alpha1 installed but GPU (P600) no longer works.

Zima-Giorgio · July 3, 2025, 6:04am

Hi, @raller1028 . Are there any commands that the user can run so that you can help him to eliminate possible issues?

isanto1306 · July 6, 2025, 12:17pm

I have this error when booting (Failed to start NVIDIA Persistence Daemon)
Can someone help me?

Zima-Giorgio · July 7, 2025, 8:02am

Wait for the beta or stable.

isanto1306 · July 11, 2025, 11:52am

I installed the beta version Im getting this error message ssh 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 still dont have GPU.

Zima-Giorgio · July 14, 2025, 2:30am

Hi, what’s the specs of your machine? Also, would you please provide the screenshots of the error info?

Copy that. We will investigate it.

raller1028 · July 14, 2025, 9:52am

During version 1.4.1, could your P600 graphics card work normally?
When you input nvidia-smi in the command line, did it detect the graphics card?

isanto1306 · July 14, 2025, 10:01am

Yes
Yes

raller1028 · July 15, 2025, 2:46am

The answer to question 2 means: In version 1.4.2-beta1, can nvidia-smi correctly identify the graphics card?

If it can be recognized normally, then the graphics card should be able to work properly.

1. First check if hardware is recognized

lspci | grep -i vga # If there’s output, proceed to next step

2. Load modules (no reboot required)

modprobe nvidia
modprobe nvidia_modeset
modprobe nvidia_drm
modprobe nvidia_uvm

3. Immediately check the results

ls -la /dev/nvidia*

nvidia-smi

I’ve rebuilt a raucb update package, can you manually update to this package to see if the graphics card issue is resolved
