Hi Casper, welcome to the forum.

Nouveau is the name of the open source Nvidia driver, so I think your problem is related to the Linux system somehow not getting along with your video card.

A quick search leads me to this thread - could you give that solution a whirl to see if.it works for you, too? Also, it might be possible to just yank out the Nvidia card in your PC - Rockstor isn’t about 3D graphics, that much. :wink:

  • Nouveau is the generic driver for Nvidia GPUs, but it might not recognize your specific model.
  • To fix “unknown chipset,” install the official Nvidia driver for your GPU from their website.
  • Search “Nvidia Drivers” and find the compatible driver for your GeForce GTX/RTX model.
