[solved] unknown chipset error, code 138000a1

#1 Post by enigma158an201 »

Hi

I'm a french new user of debian and new also on the forum

since an update from debian kernel 4.9.0.6 to 4.9.0.8 my debian install send me error message
the message also appears with 4.9.0.6 when debian boots, but it does not freeze

my hardware:
Asus H270
intel core i3 7350k
gygabyte/nvidia 1030
kingston ssd KV300 (boot disk)

note that i don't remember having installed any driver for nvidia 1030 (but it works well),
could it be a problem? do you have any information?

Thanks for Advance

there isn't much information to go on in your post.
maybe you need to show us more.

a Quick Search (tm) for your thread title indeed seems to point to some nvidia thing:

anything helpful in these search results?

Probably Xorg falls back to VESA, the whole story is in Xorg log.

Or installing the ever useful inxi package, then giving the result of

Code: Select all

inxi -G
as the standard user will tell us the state of your graphics and hardware.

It might be that the open nouveau driver is having a problem recognizing your Nvidia hardware, or that it requires firmware-misc-nonfree.

Nouveau status matrix.
Of course, if you are using outdated nouveau modules then it is not valid.

thanks to all and Excuse me for late answer (but i was very busy since my initial post)

there was an effective problem with nvidia non free driver
i booted in recovery mode then i sent in terminal

Code: Select all

nvidia-installer --uninstall
apt-get update
apt-get install nvidia-driver
Now i can boot again the debian 4.9.0.8, then i opened a terminal,

Code: Select all

su
nvidia-detect
it seems the nvidia driver is installed but not activated,
root@ServeurDebian:/home/gwen# nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP108 [10de:1d01] (rev a1)

Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation GP108 (rev a1)
Your card is supported by the default drivers.
It is recommended to install the
nvidia-driver
package.

nvidia-driver is already the newest version (384.130-1).
0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 0 à enlever et 0 non mis à jour.
i don't understand if the new driver is actually activated?
is there anyone for guiding me again :) ?
