install debian testing with driver nvidia
install debian testing with driver nvidia
I am installing debian testing netinstall + kde but it does not work, I only have access to the console when the pc decides to turn on. Nvidia drivers do not work, my card is a gtx950M. Can someone help me?.
Re: install debian testing with driver nvidia
Take a look at:
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... 2Jessie.22
Follow the steps for Jessie and it will work in stretch at least so it was in my box.

Re: install debian testing with driver nvidia
No offense but the fact that you installed testing should implies that you should know how to install or backport a Nvidia driver.marcetm wrote: I am not understanding..backports on debian testing ??! why? really?.
Marcetm has provided all of the information required for your purpose.
If you need more assistance, I would recommend that you install stable which is what the documentation is primarily written for. Or wait the short while for testing to eventually become the next stable and supported documentation will be released.
Edit:
From what it looks like, you have a laptop GPU, which may mean you have an optimus setup.marcetm wrote: my card is a gtx950M
It may will help you posted your display outputs.

Re: install debian testing with driver nvidia
Just ignore anything about backports...use what nvidia-detect recommends. Make sure you install the headers for your kernel along with build-essential--easy way to do this is to install module-assistant and run "m-a prepare" in a terminal as sysadmin.
But your problem also makes me wonder what Debian really sees for your hardware. Can you install inxi and give us the output of
when run as a standard user?
With a 950m, I am thinking of possible Optimus hybrid graphics.
Or maybe it's a waste of time helping you, since you don't respond to those simple requests and we have to pry any information out of you: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... 63#p600863

Re: install debian testing with driver nvidia
I didn't say anything about using backports in Debian testing, besides, as far as I know, there's no such a thing... In the link I wrote, everybody has the information enough to manage installing nvidia propietary driver, I highly recommend to read it entirely before type any command in the terminal. In my case with an ASUS GeForce GT 710 card I could install in just one command:
But this may no apply for your case specially if you've got an older chipset and then you surely need to change "nvidia-kernel-dkms" with "nvidia-kernel-legacy-XXX-dkms".
I wrote a minihowto but since it's been written in spanish i won't put the link here. I don't know if it's allowed to put links in this forum in other language than english but if anybody wants it send me a private message.
EDIT: When I say "read it entirely" I mean read it and try to understand all even at the bottom the "See also" links.
Code: Select all
#aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') nvidia-kernel-dkms
