Hello,
The moment 375.39 was made available via the apt non-free for 9.0 i got them, upgraded from 375.26
A couple of days later, when I should expect the screen in a suspend more, the screen looked like a 8bit Commodore64 random "graphics", similar to video adapter hardware failure...
I was not happy, the GTX970 is out of warranty, and i do not have anything on that box that i could boot beside Debian, that had a nvidia driver installed. Since I 'just' upgraded the drivers 2-3 days earlier, i went back to 375.26 using the installer from their site.
The system ran for a week fine... so i got the newer driver from nvidia... ran fine, till next day - same problem, same garbage on the screen, x session frozen.... rebooted, and same next day... at that moment I said enough...
since that time ( a month ago or so ), the system runs on 375.26, with cuda just fine...
I am a bit surprised, that there is no other 375.39 related posts here...
I kept on thinking about posting this, earlier...
Thanks!
Mike

nvidia 375.39 driver problem
Re: nvidia 375.39 driver problem
Hi ksu,
I've got the nvidia driver 375.35 working on my system with no problem. I installed the driver as advised here:
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... 2Jessie.22
I think you have a hardware issue, maybe you VGA card is bad or you need a better power supply.

I'm using version 375.39-1 which works perfectly on two different systems, but I have slightly older hardware, i.e. GeForce 660 & 555M.
Perhaps the lack of reports is maybe either your driver installation is incorrect somehow, or it's a hardware failure.

Re: nvidia 375.39 driver problem
dear ksu, without looking into this any further, i strongly suspect that the newest driver simply isn't suitable for your debian version and/or hardware, hence the breakage."Hey doc, it hurts when I do this..."
it seems you managed to confirm this twice (!) and also fix it (!!) - so all's well that ends well, yes?

In this case, everything ends well! It always does end well if using Debian, or Linux/GNU in general!debiman wrote:dear ksu, without looking into this any further, i strongly suspect that the newest driver simply isn't suitable for your debian version and/or hardware, hence the breakage."Hey doc, it hurts when I do this..."

I hardly doubt the installation process has anything to do with the X freezing resulting with some graphics suitable for some geek's "screensaver" after running fine for 1-2 days.
Hardware problem, maybe... only in case it is exposed by 375.39 (and -1). Comparing 660, or any other model, other than gtx9xx (GM204) series is like comparing apples to Rubik's cube.
The Debian bug system is great, unless it comes to a reopening a considered 'fixed' case - but that's some maintainers' personal problem, such as zfs-linux package on x86_64. Now, in case of a proprietary binary closed source blob, I would not open a bug report on Debian...
After reinstalling each driver at least 4-5 times, and the ca. 1mo of smooth ride before, and after '375.39' appeared, for sure I am not about to try that option again...
This post was just an FYI, for folks, that might also have a similar problem, and blame 'just' the hardware.
In any case, thank you all,
Mike
