Hey all, just got a Geforce 5070 to replace my 2070 from years ago. Ubuntu’s been pretty smooth sailing for me until now, and I’m not exactly the best at navigating this stuff.
When Ubuntu starts to boot, the GPU stops outputting display to my monitor. As though it doesn’t detect the new GPU. I tried putting the 2070 back in and downloading the 570 drivers but it didn’t change anything. I found a tutorial for what seemed to be my issue that asked me to change the kernel, but halfway through the tutorial, commands that worked on their machine started failing on mine. I wish I’d documented what the error messages were because when I went to poke around more today, I got a message about kernel panic and can’t even boot with the 2070. Where do I go from here?
I think I’m on 24.04.3 LTS. May I ask what is in 24.10 that would make a difference?
24.10 is a minimum. If you’re on 24.04 that means you are very up to date and have the 6.14 kernel which is new enough. So we can rule that out as an issue.
6.14 is 25.04, not 24.04
My bad, I got it from this website and assumed it was correct. https://linuxiac.com/ubuntu-24-04-3-lts-released-with-bug-fixes-and-security-updates/
