Ubuntu 20.04 Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0

Asked by Paul Stephenson

The system is a headless desktop and has been running Ubuntu 16.04 with MYTHTV 0.28 for about 5 years. It comprises an ASUS M5A78L-M USB3 motherboard with ATI GPU on board, an AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor and 8GB RAM. Video output is via an Nvidia GEForce 5200 PCIE card with 2GB DDR3 feeding into a Denon AV Receiver via HDMI, and then onto a Flatscreen TV.

The system was upgraded to 18.04 without error but failed to reach the login screen when booted. Search results indicated that reinstalling the Nvidia driver would cure the problem. As my target system was 20.04 I decided to upgrade to that and get the driver reinstalled that way. 20.04 left me with the same problem though.

Doing clean installs on a spare disc of both 18.04 and 20.04 gave exactly the same results although, with slightly different external behaviour. The replies to my post on Ubuntu Forums have all been tried except for the bit about:-

May 07 11:20:16 PVR-1 kernel: resource sanity check: requesting [mem 0x000c0000-0x000fffff], which spans more than PCI Bus 0000:00 [mem 0x000d0000-0x000dffff window]
May 07 11:20:16 PVR-1 kernel: caller os_map_kernel_space.part.0+0x100/0x140 [nvidia] mapping multiple BARs

I have not been able to find a way of alleviating this. Appropriate section from system log (journalctl) below:-

Sorry, that's because I've reverted to 18.04 with mythtv .30 to cop out of the hassle that Mariadb is causing mythtv users. Still have same issue with nvidia card, also have only 2 tuners working on a quad tuner board, and mythtv .30 won't talk to the HDMI CEC adapter.
