Unable to uninstall NVidia drivers completely (initramfs will attempt to resume from…)
I was trying to install nvidia drivers for my PC for so that xorg will use intel drivers. I followed this guide and did an installation a runfile using the command:
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-396.24.run --no-opengl-files --dkms --no-drm
https://forums.fast.ai/t/successful-ubuntu-18-04-with-igpu-for-xserver-and-nvidia-gpu-for-cuda-work-setup/20128
The method didn't work for me. And now I'm trying to uninstall nvidia's drivers with sudo apt purge nvidia*
Somehow after doing this, now whenever I try to install/uninstall something I get a message like this:
....
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/nvidia/gv100/acr/bl.bin for module nouveau
I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/nvme0n1p3
I: (UUID=1e612fb7-d1f4-4a4a-a5bd-1ae6761c9bf0)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.
And I can't even get the original nvidia driver to work. Any idea what the RESUME variable is? What is it that needs to be removed?
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.

You can't purge with apt that was not installed with apt. Runsudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-396.24.run --uninstallinstead.

Reinstall the nouveau-firmware...
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nouveau-firmware
There are two resume parameters that I know of, and two that would effect the initramfs.
Kernel parameter:
In
terminal... (permanent)...
sudo blkid# get a list of partitions and UUID's
sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub# edit this file- find "quiet splash" and change it to something like "quiet splash resume=/dev/nvme0n1p3"
- note: nvme0n1p3 should be your swap partition
sudo update-grub# update the grub files
reboot# reboot the computer
via the
GRUBmenu... (temporary)...
- hit the e key to enter edit mode
- find "quiet splash"
- change it to "quiet splash resume=/dev/nvme0n1p3
- note: nvme0n1p3 should be your swap partition
control-x to continue booting...
initramfs:
In
terminal...
sudo blkid# get a list of partitions and UUID's
sudo -H /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume# edit this file- edit
RESUME=UUID=1e612fb7-d1f4-4a4a-a5bd-1ae6761c9bf0# edit this - note: UUID should be from swap partition
sudo update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r)# update initrd.img

is nouveau-firmware an alternative to nvidia? It doesn't seem to be available in Ubuntu 18.04's repo. I don't seem to have the file "/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume" either.

That was initially a bad idea to install drivers from a run file. And now after you partially removed it using apt it's a real problem. I don't know an obvious way how to clean this out.
