Debian 9.2 & Nvidia drivers

Is this fixed?

[qunt]

Now when I rebooted the computer, I get a white screen with an error message

Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem occured and the system can't recover.
Please log out and try again.

In rescue mode i run journalctl -xb and going through the output I find some red text I assume is related to the problem:

nouveau 0000:01:00.0: unknown chipset (137000a1)

And some in white about nvidia:

nvidia: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

No clue if related..

Not fixed :/

Are you able to get to command prompt?

edit the following file (if it is not there, then create it, with exact name)

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off

Try this too.
Pass this key=value to the linux command in your menu entry.
Press "e" in Grub

navigate to the end of the linux command and add the following below...

pcie_port_pm=off

Did the above. Still getting the same white screen with an error message after reboot.

The nouveau message is now gone from journalctl -xb output

By the end of the linux command do you mean at the very bottom of that file? Sorry, I'm a newbie..

I put it there at the bottom on a new line after all the other stuff, booted via F10 and still getting the same error.

[maximus1978]

edit a menuentry by pressing e

the commands on each line have parameters passed to them

add pcie_port_pm=off

Then press F10 to boot

Alright, did that. Still same error

[maximus1978]

Try uninstalling the driver first.

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.98.run --uninstall

Let me know if you get it uninstalled and can boot back into your system.

I am still looking into this.hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[qunt]

Yup. I uninstalled Nvidia and commented the blacklist-nouveau file lines and I'm getting in to graphical mode now.

When I was looking into this before myself, I came to the conclusion I have hybrid graphics chipset. Since the command lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga" returns 2 lines of output. But I did try the bumblebee guide aswell with no luck as you probably saw in my earlier posts..

Really appreciate the help by the way

[maximus1978]

No problem.

I know we can get this to work.

Let me look into it abit more.

There is a great video online but nvidia-detect does not display anything for your video card. Is this like a brand new Nvidia Video card?

Method 1 (Package Version) Note - nvidia-detect does not bring any result thou for your card.

This video is worth watching and following the steps exactly.

Method 2

This is the manual install which I know we can get working. I am still looking into it.
Lets not give up on this.

Please do watch the youtube video and try and go step by step to see if you can get it working that way.

Hmm.. I'm going to feel like a moron for not mentioning this before if this has something to do with this problem, but I'm seeing the following errors when I run dmesg command. Could this be related?

Code: Select all

ACPI Error: [_UPC] Namespace lookup failure, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20160831/dswload-378)
ACPI Exception: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During name lookup/catalog (20160831/psobject-227)

GTX 1050, I guess it's pretty new stuff. I got this laptop just like a month ago.

Not related to the video problem.

I went though all the steps in the video you posted. Results in the same white screen error.
