Debian 12 (Bookworm) (Headless)
Player Version: 1.40.4.8679
I’m running headless Debian and I realized that I now have an issue where Plex won’t detect my GPU. Before this it would detect my GPU just fine and I have all my GPU drivers updated and everything but it still won’t detect it.
Going to need your DEBUG logs ZIP captured after a full PMS restart
Plex Media Server Logs_2024-07-10_14-57-13.zip (1.1 MB)
Is this fine?
Yes, that’s the file.
Your logs don’t show it (confirming your findings).
Which GPU & drivers version please ?
Installed from where please ?
I have the NVIDIA GM107 [Geforce GTX 750 Ti] and it appears [inxi -G] is not detecting the drivers but it’s also saying I have the drivers installed (535.183.01). And this all used to work completely fine before.
from the command line (bash), nvidia-smi shows it as recognized ?
(this confirms runtime libs and kernel drivers match)
Well it says it can’t even communicate with the drivers
show me?
Should be:

That’s what I don’t understand. “gsp” ??
I’ve never seen that before.
Yeah and this all used to work before, I’m assuming an update had something to do with it.
that’s what I’m thinking too -
The GSP firmware has been enabled by default in the 555 series, and can be disabled by adding nvidia. NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 to your kernel boot parameters .
How do I disable GSP firmware?

Try to disable it? You do have a an older GPU (it’s the oldest on their list of supported)
How would I disable it?
Just as it says; You need to add that to the kernel boot parameters, update the initramfs and update grub
I haven’t worked too much with debian 12 so I would check out (google) on the best way. don’t want you to end up with a non-bootable machine
The thing is 10 years old. it won’t work forever.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database
The GeForce GTX 750 Ti was a mid-range graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on February 18th, 2014. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GM107 graphics processor, in its GM107-400-A2 variant, the card supports DirectX 12.
They might have dropped it from the supported list
Alright yea makes sense
