I run debian stable+backports on my system.
Below is my source list

I installed the 5.8 kernel and the nvidia+cuda stuff as described here
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... 2Buster.22
and here
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... uster.22-1
and I have been living happily ever since.
Today, after a standard update, this is what I see
- Code: Select all
Reading state information... Done
10 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
and
- Code: Select all
$ sudo apt list --upgradable

nvidia-visual-profiler/buster-backports 11.1.1-3~bpo10+1 amd64 [upgradable from: 10.2.89-5~bpo10+1]
however, after an apt upgrade, I see
- Code: Select all
The following packages have been kept back:
libcufft10 libcufftw10 libcupti-dev libcurand10 libnvidia-ml-dev
libnvtoolsext1 nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-profiler nvidia-visual-profiler
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.
So something beyond a normal upgrade is needed.
If I try running a full upgrade, I see this
- Code: Select all
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libaccinj64-10.2 libcuinj64-10.2 libcupti10.2 nvidia-cuda-dev
nvidia-cuda-toolkit
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libaccinj64-11.1 libcuinj64-11.1 libcupti11.1
The following packages will be upgraded:
libcufft10 libcufftw10 libcupti-dev libcurand10 libnvidia-ml-dev
libnvtoolsext1 nvidia-profiler nvidia-visual-profiler
8 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 5 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 297 MB of archives.
After this operation, 1,163 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
but this looks dangerous: cuda will be gone after that.
Any piece of advice? Is there anything I am supposed to do?
I can do nothing or should I erase the cuda and nvidia stuff and reinstall?
I can try anything as long as
1) my box remains bootable with a graphical desktop
2) I can somehow reinstall nvidia driver and cuda as I did following the debian wiki.
Thanks for any suggestion!
