  • Hi again! I am struggling to find a list of Nouveau versions and the supported hardware. How would you go about finding out if a graphics chip has a corresponding version of Nouveau available? If I input sudo ubuntu-drivers list it only shows "bcmwl-kernel-source". I also installed "nouveau-firmware (20091212-0ubuntu1)", which did not seem to be there already, but after a reboot the issue does not seem to be fixed, including in the logs.

  • What I know about Ubuntu releases and display adapters is that both needs to be from same era... However the logs suggest that some of the files are too new, which means first step would be to try display manager that doesn't use Qt and then revert to standard VGA driver to eliminate any bugs in Nouveau driver. With nVidia cards only thing you need to know is the GPU architecture and each driver version supports subset of architectures. Commented Jun 25, 2024 at 1:27
  • This is very helpful, thanks. I ended up finding this and this. I'll play around and see how far I can get, and I'll report back. Commented Jun 25, 2024 at 21:25
  • I came to a solution thanks to your help. It seems that you were right to think that Qt was causing issues. I wrote a response to my own post below so people can easily find the information in the future. Commented Jul 6, 2024 at 21:19
