Did a fresh install, went through the welcome window and installed the recommended nvidia driver through the driver manager (550.120-0ubuntu0.24.04.1). After a reboot my gpu sounds like a jet engine and i cannot figure out how to control the fan speed. Using an rtx 4070S

that's the output of that command

# 
~$ 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.

seems to be a driver issue but have not found a solution yet

Ironically, I stumbled about the entire opposite of this issue the other day. The fans won't hit it until it reaches 60C.

#

Go to Drivers app, get that settled. Then get either one of those.

Get what settled? I've downloaded the driver from the driver manager and it says my device is using it, but in the terminal it looks like a different story :/

#

What driver did you install?

#

Usually, there'd be options. Which one did you go with?

grizzled copper
#

the recommended one, nvidia driver 550

and keep it off

#

that's why u have N/A shown for driver

oh man the jet engine is finally gone, thanks for the help! Is turning off secure boot on a home desktop nothing to worry about?

Will they still need or benefit from third-party solutions like these?
