Drivers problem after a fresh install

[caillonantoine]

Hi,

I just installed Debian 9 - XFCE on my laptop. Everything seems to work fine, except for some hardware related problems.
I managed to install NVIDIA's drivers, alongside the CUDA toolkit, but i still don't have neither wifi nor soundcard.

Here's the output of lspci -nn :

1) Have you enabled contrib and non-free in your sources list?
2) Have you installed iwlwifi?
3) Have you rebooted?
4) Have you also tried this? https://wiki.debian.org/SoundFAQ

[caillonantoine]

Yes to all... I've enabled contrib, non free and backports, tried to install firmware-iwlwifi from apt, with success, but still with no wifi. I've rebooted multiple times to see weither anything changed or not. I also tried the SoundFAQ just now, and there is no soundcard found by alsa -l , neither as a regular user nor as root. alsactl init gives me:

Code: Select all

alsactl: init:1757: No soundcards found...

thank you very much for your answers!!

[4D696B65]

Your computer might be too new for Stretch. You may need backports or move to Buster.

[caillonantoine]

Really? That's weird... Before switching to debian, i've been using Xubuntu on it, everything was working fine (wifi, soundcard), but the computer was freezing off way too often.

[4D696B65]

Stretch was released June 2017. Your wifi card was released Q2 2017.

for the wired nic

than maybe, add stretch-backports and upgrade
firmware-iwlwifi
see if that works.

thanks 4D696B65 for catching the release date, and arochester

[arochester]

If it is the age of your computer you might try Buster instead of Stretch.

Ubuntu 18.04 is based on a mixture of Testing and Unstable - Buster and Sid.

[stevepusser]

Yes, the GPU was released 31 August 2018:

https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/8086/3ea0

You need a newer Mesa, kernel, firmware packages, etc. to support this new hardware.

Choices are: update all these from Stretch-backports and hope they are new enough.

Install Buster instead and hope nothing breaks as it moves toward release.

I'm part of the MX Linux development team, and have packaged a 4.19.5 Debian kernel, Mesa 18.2.6, and updated firmware for our upcoming Stretch+backports-based MX 18 release in the hopes of supporting your type of new hardware out of the box. If you want to try that instead of Ubuntu or a development Debian release, we'll have a release candidate of MX 18 out in a day or so--it's a Live ISO, so you don't have to install to test it. Testers of the beta have given us really good reports, and there's even a few reviews of the beta on Youtube now.
