06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1e02 (rev a1) (prog -if 00 [VGA controller])
→Software
====First boot====
After a reboot, the screen freezesif you didn't install HWE. Either change the bootloader, adding nomodeset (see https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/The-Best-Way-To-Install-Ubuntu-18-04-with-NVIDIA-Drivers-and-any-Desktop-Flavor-1178/#step-4-potential-problem-number-1), or just SSH onto the boxand fix that now.
Run as root:
lspci -vk

Currently we are using the nouveau driver for the Xp, and have no driver loaded for the RTX.
You can also list the driver using ubuntu-drivers, which is supposed to tell you which NVIDIA driver is recommended:
apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common
ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:03:00.0/0000:04:10.0/0000:05:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001B02sv000010DEsd000011DFbc03sc00i00
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
model : GP102 [TITAN Xp]
driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free recommended
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
But the 390 is the only driver available from the main repo. Add the experimental repo for more options:
add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
apt update
ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:03:00.0/0000:04:10.0/0000:05:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001B02sv000010DEsd000011DFbc03sc00i00
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
model : GP102 [TITAN Xp]
driver : nvidia-driver-418 - third-party free
driver : nvidia-driver-415 - third-party free
driver : nvidia-driver-430 - third-party free recommended
driver : nvidia-driver-396 - third-party free
driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-410 - third-party free
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
Rather than installing a driver directly (e.g., apt install nvidia-430), let's get CUDA and have it install its preferred driver:
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/10.1/Prod/local_installers/cuda_10.1.168_418.67_linux.run
sh cuda_10.1.168_418.67_linux.run
