Nvidia drivers on core 24?

rpoii · October 22, 2025, 3:53pm

We have an x86_64 PC with Intel Core i9 and an NVIDIA GA104GL (RTX A4000) GPU. We are experimenting with Ubuntu Core 24, custom gadget snap, and ubuntu-frame.

ubuntu-frame runs if the display is connected to a port on the PC’s integrated GPU.

However, if the display is connected to a port on the Nvidia GPU, ubuntu-frame fails to run. I assume this is because we don’t have Nvidia drivers installed, but I’m not sure.

Does core 24 support proprietary Nvidia drivers? Can the proprietary drivers be installed?

Here is a snippet from the snap logs:

The nvidia proprietary drivers come in the form of snap components. You can see them with the snap components command.

To install them, use snap install pc-kernel+nvidia-570-erd-user pc-kernel+nvidia-570-erd-ko

Thank you, that helped. After installing and then rebooting, I now see /dev/ populated with nvidia devices, and lsmod shows several nvidia modules.

When I run ubuntu-frame, I no longer get the Failed to find any platforms for current system error. However, I still only see a black screen with a blinking cursor, even though snap services shows that ubuntu-frame.daemon is active. I don’t see ubuntu-frame’s gray gradient screen.

What am I missing?

Do you see anything interesting in the journal? @Saviq might be able to help you with this

In sudo snap logs -n1000 ubuntu-frame.daemon I do see libEGL warnings/failures:

...
<information> mirserver: Found rendering driver: mir:egl-generic (version 2.20.1)
2025-10-25T16:51:20Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[2834]: libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

...

If I instead plug the display into the Intel integrated GPU port, ubuntu-frame runs correctly, I see the gray gradient, and I don’t see those libEGL warnings/failures in the logs.

Maybe this is relevant, maybe a red herring, I don’t know.

Have you tried to turn off the integrated GPU in the BIOS/UEFI ?

rpoii · October 24, 2025, 11:53pm

I was wrong about what made the “Failed to find any platforms for current system” go away. I had previously thought installing the nvidia drivers made that error go away, but it was actually enabling the integrated GPU in the BIOS that made it go away.

If the integrated GPU is disabled, I get the “Failed to find any platforms for current system” error whether nvidia drivers are installed or not.

With nvidia drivers installed, and integrated GPU disabled, here are the ubuntu-frame.daemon logs:

Hi,

I think you have to also install the mesa-2024 snap. I believe that is how ubuntu-frame would get hold of the relevant userspace libs required. They are shared from the kernel snap to the mesa snap via content interface, which in turn provides them to ubuntu-frame via a content interface , along with some wrappers to help prepare the env for finding the libs.

Not sure if there’s a good doc for this or not.

Cheers, Just

jocado · October 27, 2025, 5:15pm

Not much mention of nvidia, but this give quite a bit of info about the mesa-2404 snap itself.

Cheers, Just

rpoii · October 27, 2025, 5:51pm

Yes, I already installed mesa–2024 previously, as ubuntu-image will not allow you to install ubuntu-frame otherwise.

rpoii · October 27, 2025, 5:59pm

I’ve verified that ubuntu-frame works on my machine via the nvidia GPU on core 22, using these steps, plus snap connect ubuntu-frame:graphics-core22 nvidia-core22:

Hi, I have a computer with an Nvidia GT 1030 graphics card, and I'm trying to… use `ubuntu-frame` to display a simple website. Initially, the prompt is displayed without any issues. However, when I attempt to display something more complex using `ubuntu-frame`, I encounter a blank screen. I installed `nvidia-core22` and `ubuntu-frame` (channel=22/stable), connecting them using `snap connect ubuntu-frame:graphics-core22 nvidia-core22:graphics-core22` to utilize Nvidia drivers with `ubuntu-frame`. The `ubuntu-frame` logs are as follows: ``` 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z systemd[1]: Started Service for snap application ubuntu-frame.daemon. 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1841]: ++ snapctl get display 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: + '[' -z '' ']' 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1847]: + initialise-display-config 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: + disown 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1848]: + sh -c 'sleep 5; mkdir "/run/user/007"; rmdir "/run/user/007"' 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: + exec nohup /snap/ubuntu-frame/5776/bin/run-frame /snap/ubuntu-frame/5776/bin/graphics-core22-wrapper /snap/ubuntu-frame/5776/usr/local/bin/frame 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: + [ /snap/ubuntu-frame/5776/bin/graphics-core22-wrapper = --help ] 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1853]: + dirname /run/user/0/snap.ubuntu-frame 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1849]: Setting up watches. 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1849]: Watches established. 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: + export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: + mkdir -p /run/user/0 -m 700 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: + [ -n ] 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: + exec /snap/ubuntu-frame/5776/bin/graphics-core22-wrapper /snap/ubuntu-frame/5776/usr/local/bin/frame 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: [2023-06-27 12:43:46.347553] <information> mirserver: Starting 2023-06-27T12:43:46Z ubuntu-frame.daemon[1817]: [2023-06-27 12:43:46.347935] < -

Therefore, should it be working? Is there a plan to enable it? My screen is connected via an LVDS connector. Could this be causing the issue? Thanks.

But that is on core 22. I’m now trying to get it working on core 24.

Hmmm, it does look like everything is in place.

I think some input from the Ubuntu Frame guys which be valuable at this point.

As a workaround I was able to get my core24 test-app snap to display through the nvidia GPU by installing it onto a core22 base system. I used ubuntu-frame 22/stable, and enabled the nvidia drivers via the method in the github link I posted above.

Installing my test-app snap auto-pulled in the core24 and mesa-2404 snaps, such that they are installed alongside the core22 and mesa-core22 snaps.

Here are my snap connections:
