Nvidia drivers not loading with HeliumOS images built via CI #1

imbev commented 2024年09月22日 21:47:46 +02:00

bootc images can be built by podman locally or via CI such as GitHub Actions. When building the Nvidia image locally, official Nvidia dkms drivers load and operate properly on systems booting the image. When building the Nvidia image using GitHub Actions, the booted system does not use the official Nvidia drivers nor the blacklisted Nouveau drivers.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Build 9/Containerfile.nvidia using podman on a local device as image A
2. Push image A to registry
3. Switch bootc system to image A
4. Observe system using Nvidia drivers properly
5. Build 9/Containerfile.nvidia using podman on GitHub Actions as image B
6. Push image B to registry
7. Switch bootc system to image B
8. Observe system using fallback graphics drivers

Reference:

• Local build
  • image: quay.io/imbev/heliumos-bootc:nvidia
  • commit: 6fc99100dee6d5558f3ac17b610b15f90f4c90e7
  • Output of lsmod | grep nvidia:

• CI build
  • image: quay.io/heliumos/bootc:9-canary-nvidia
  • commit: 6fc99100dee6d5558f3ac17b610b15f90f4c90e7
  • Output of lsmod | grep nvidia: (Nothing)
