how to upgrade debian 10 kernel from the backports without r

[marietto]

I'm running debian 10 on a I9-9900k + gigabyte aurus pro (with the intel graphic chipset integrated) + nvidia RTX 2080ti graphic card. I have two monitors. I want to have the monitor B working with the nvidia graphic card and the monitor A with the intel integrated chipset. The problem is that only the monitor B is working now. The monitor B is turned off. Maybe there is something bad with the secondary graphic card,because debian disable the card that's not the most important. I want to enable it. Someone said to me that the kernel that I'm using (4.19) is old and it does not support the intel chipset of the mobo. I would like to update it,but I don't know how to do that. He said also that it is in the backports. So a couple of lines should be enough. I tried to compile a new kernel from scratch,version 5.3.2,using the default settings,but it didn't work,infact it freezes on the boot stage. So,the question is : how to upgrade easily the kernel of debian 10 buster,from 4.19 at least to a version that allows me to enable the intel chipset and also the firmware-misc-nonfree. thanks.

linux-image-5.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 is available @ buster-backports

[ replace 'ftp.de' by your country

Code: Select all

# as root

apt remove dkms

[marietto]

yeah,thanks. Now I have another error : can't connect to Xorg when I'm on rescue mode. And it freezes when it says : "gnome desktop manager initialized" when I'm on the normale mode. Anyway this kernel is able to make work the intel graphic chipset embedded inside the mobo. Actually the monitor attached to the nvidia graphic card is turned off. The monitor attached to the intel graphic is turned on.

Where did you get your nvidia driver ?

[marietto]

apt install nvidia-driver

[L_V]

I see, then needs nvidia-kernel-dkms.
+

Code: Select all

dpkg -l 'nvidia*' | awk '{print $1,$2}'

then

Code: Select all

apt remove linux-headers-amd64
apt-get install --no-install-recommends nvidia-driver linux-image-amd64=5.2+106~bpo10+1

+if, only if you really need linux-headers (??), they are available

Code: Select all

apt install linux-headers-amd64=5.2+106~bpo10+1

I'm not able to write the curly brackets on the keyboard

[L_V]

Ha yeah... I see. Then forget this command, and go further. If OK,

Code: Select all

apt install firmware-linux-free  libgles-nvidia1 libgles-nvidia2 libnvidia-cfg1 libopengl0  nvidia-persistenced nvidia-settings nvidia-vulkan-icd

Debian currently doesn't have any nvidia-driver in buster-backports, and the stock 4.18.74 version won't build on a 5.2 kernel. You'll have to wait until Debian gets one in there, if you want to stick to straight Debian instead of a derivative.

[marietto]

I've installed the suggested packages. it freezes again on boot,giving the error "failed to start nvidia persistence demon" ; failed to load kernel modules....

[L_V]

More explicit output might be helpful...
run:

Code: Select all

nvidia-smi

and check "Persistence-M" parameter.
+

Code: Select all

systemctl status nvidia-persistenced-manual.service

I don't have nvidia graphics to help.
If nvidia-driver buster driver is really not compatible with kernel 5.20, I wonder why there is no apt compatibility issue.

+ did you install the linux-headers ? If no, try to see if it helps.

[marietto]

nothing works correctly. check here : https://ibb.co/album/ekydOv

[L_V]

Code: Select all

systemctl start nvidia-persistenced-manual

[marietto]

unit nvidia-persistenced-manual.service not found.

[L_V]

then

Code: Select all

systemctl start nvidia-persistenced

[marietto]

unit nvidia-persintenced.service not found.

let me understand : why the intel graphic chipset driver needs that the nvidia drivers are working to work ?
