Removing the GPU/vGPU driver

Connect to the VM with the GPU.

Remove the driver and its dependencies from the package manager:

 
sudo apt purge cuda-drivers 'nvidia-driver-*' 'libnvidia-*' 'nvidia-utils-*' 'nvidia-dkms-*' 'nvidia-kernel-*'  'xserver-xorg-video-nvidia*' 'nvidia-settings'sudo apt autoremove --purge

 
sudo dnf remove 'nvidia-driver*' 'nvidia-kmod*' 'cuda-drivers*' 'akmod-nvidia*' 'kmod-nvidia*' 'xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*' 'nvidia-settings' 'nvidia-persistenced' 'nvidia-modprobe' 'nvidia-xconfig'sudo dnf autoremove

Run nvidia-uninstall or nvidia-installer --uninstall.

 
sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-uninstall 2>/dev/null || sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-installer --uninstall

If a driver installed from a file with the *.run extension was previously present on the system, its removal will start. Otherwise, a No such file or directory error will occur, indicating there is no driver installed from a *.run file. No further action is required.

Reboot the VM.

Connect to the VM with vGPU.

Remove the driver:

 
sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-uninstall 2>/dev/null || sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-installer --uninstall

Reboot the VM.
