NVIDIA anew with Debian Buster?
NVIDIA anew with Debian Buster?
Hi all! Is there a way to initiate Debian Buster new installation with non-free NVidia drivers activated? I use this https://dell.to/2rcKp3X machine and this http://bit.ly/2HGjnJe Graphic Card which by chanse is always identified by Debian (both testing and stable) as this http://paste.debian.net/1022795/ card?

Re: NVIDIA anew with Debian Buster?
No you can't install with Nvidia drivers.
The Dell page says it supports Optimus graphics card switching which would need the bumblebee-nvidia package if you wish to use it. See the wiki.
It may be possible to just disable the onboard Intel graphics and just use the Nvidia. I don't have an X51 so can't check. Don't use Bumblebee if you disable the onboard.
I have a Skylake (non-Optimus) setup and I installed with the onboard graphics connected. After that I installed the nvidia-driver package from the non-free repo then disabled the onboard in UEFI setup, swapped the monitor cable to the Nvidia one and rebooted. Works well for me.

Looks like old story with Engineer that invented lightbulb right after Edison. But this time lightbult could work endlessly. Dark Forces found that Engineer and "scared him to death/bought his invention" just to keep people buyng worthless lihtbulbs that keep burning within months of operation.

Re: NVIDIA anew with Debian Buster?
so?
screenfetch recognizing your card doesn't mean the nvidia driver is active.
if you have a problem that you want to solve (other than wanting something that doesn't exist, i.e. an installation medium that already contains nvidia drivers), please provide:

Re: NVIDIA anew with Debian Buster?
You have open source drivers active, but can you use NVIDIA card?
Check this out:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV ... ng_nouveau
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu ... _for_Linux
It's for Arch, but applies to all Linux.
Post the results here.
Also, they say someone found Linux Demigod once who could setup [Optimus] Bumblebee and play Civ 6 on max settings

Re: NVIDIA anew with Debian Buster?
There is a simple recipe for installing bumblebee-nvidia in the Debian wiki that seems to work for most people. Have you tried it?

Indeed. The wiki omits mentioning a module building environment needs to be set up first. Just dostevepusser wrote:There is a simple recipe for installing bumblebee-nvidia in the Debian wiki that seems to work for most people. Have you tried it?

Well. I've performed both of advices one by one starting from the last. Installation seems to be broken. I can't get access to shell.

Ok, confes, I have one excessive repository installed in /etc/apt/sources.list from https://wiki.debian.org/Opera. Thats it. Remaining is all by default. Any suggestions how to bring back the Boot Up at least?

Re: NVIDIA anew with Debian Buster?
I do not loose hope to get a clue someday on how to install nvidia-proprietary drivers for Buster... So far attempts to follow Wiki.Debian haven't succeeded. For additional help I've asked NVidia forum here. But never got anything back. Most pity thing is I've got it running once. But could not repeat this miracle after re-installing Buster anew.

Re: NVIDIA anew with Debian Buster?
There are some threads on Reddit and elsewhere that hint that Nvidia driver installation on Buster, and the same version in stretch-backports, is broken for now, but I haven't been able to test that myself yet.

IGFX: System will work only using the Integrated Graphics Card and HDMI port.
Discrete: System will use the discrete video card and the integrated graphics will be disabled.
