Please make sure CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m, otherwise Nouveau won't be compiled in the kernel. You can find some instructions for ArchLinux, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu or Fedora. The configuration and installation parts are distribution-dependent. Please download a complete version of the Nouveau tree. This method cannot be applied if you only downloaded a snapshot of Nouveau.

There is also an out-of-tree version of the module that you can get at: git clone

#Ubuntu remove nvidia driver install nouveau full#

In order to download the full Nouveau kernel tree, please run the following command (un-comment -depth=1 if you don't want the full history): git clone # -depth=1

Get a snapshot: For occasional testers with an internet data cap (out-of-the-tree compilation only).

Get the full Nouveau kernel tree, without history: For continuous testers with a data cap on their internet plan.

Get the full Nouveau kernel tree, with full history : Best for developers and people willing to bisect regressions.

You have multiple choices when it comes to downloading the source code:

However, the code in Linus' kernel will always be older than Nouveau's own git, and because there are no official Nouveau releases, you may encounter compatibility issues with user space parts (libdrm, DDX, Mesa). Since the DRM code is part of the kernel since 2.6.33, you can also use Linus' git kernel for Nouveau. It is recommended to build your whole kernel from this branch (Section 2.1). The possible errors include build failure and kernel modules that cannot be loaded. You may not be able to compile the DRM modules against your current kernel, if it is too old (might need an -rc kernel or even Linus' git kernel). The Nouveau kernel git repository contains one recommended branch: linux-5.5. See also KernelModeSetting for important KMS notes.

You have several options on how to download the source code (subsections of Section 1) and how to compile it (subsections of Section 2). The kernel modules required by Nouveau ( drm.ko, drm_kms_helper.ko, ttm.ko and nouveau.ko) are built from a Linux kernel tree. For more information, please read MesaDrivers.

Mesa : It provides 3D, GPGPU and video acceleration to open source drivers.

xf86-video-nouveau : The device-dependent part of X (DDX) for NVIDIA cards whose role is to provide 2D acceleration (EXA) and some simple video acceleration (XV).

Libdrm : A library that wraps the DRM & Nouveau IOCTLs, it simplifies memory management and command submission.

Nouveau DRM : The privileged part of Nouveau, running in the kernel.

Please tell us as soon as possible when you encounter a bug! Whatever your reason is, the development team thanks you for living on the edge.

Contributing code - Developers are expected to test and implement new code on the development branches.

#Ubuntu remove nvidia driver install nouveau Patch#

Bug fixing - checking if a bug in a stable version is still present in the development branches or testing a patch.

There are several reasons to want to compile Nouveau from source, here are the most common ones: Instead of using the distribution-provided binaries, you can also recompile Nouveau yourself.

Debian : Some more tips and a list of packages.

Please seek help on your distribution's wiki if you have any problem installing or uninstalling Nouveau. The following information are provided to the best of our knowledge. If you want to use Nouveau, you first need to remove the proprietary driver from your system. Nouveau is incompatible with NVIDIA's proprietary driver. If those are outdated or buggy, you may also recompile Nouveau from source. The most recommended way is to use your distribution-provided packages. There are two ways of installing Nouveau on your Linux computer.
