Therefore, first of all, you need to update the kernel from 6.1.0-13 -> 6.1.0.18. Thanks! This worked. After upgrading the kernel (and headers) -> 6.1.0.18 and rebooting, the nvidia-driver build succeeded. One final reboot and all is well. Driver loaded and nvidia card is once again working.

What’s the content of /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/525.147.05/build/make.log ? It is a massive build log. I have pasted the final few lines from that file in the second code-box in my post above. All the lines before this appear to execute normally, but as I said it all starts to fail after "/...

Hi Aki. Thanks for your help with this. Here is the log file, as requested: root@paul-hplaptop15ef3xxx:~# cat log.txt Script started on 2024-02-24 14:54:25-07:00 [TERM="xterm-256color" TTY="/dev/pts/2" COLUMNS="213" LINES="46"] root@paul-hplaptop15ef3xxx:~# dk...

12.5. Fully up to date, as far as I know. I think this broke during an apt update/upgrade.

Tried clearing apt cache. Didn’t help. Seems like file corruption in the nvidia dkms file(s)?

I've never seen this type of error before and have no idea what to do next. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

I feel compelled to highly recommend getting yourself a big external drive and backing up all your data. It doesn't have to be an image, but an image (whether via Clonezilla or other more user-friendly app such as Acronis) is extremely convenient when it comes time to restoring a screwed up system. ...

I have a hunch. After suspend and resume, when sound is not working try this: sudo apt install hw-probe sudo -E hw-probe -all I had a similar issue with my SD card reader, and by chance I discovered that running hw-probe would "wake" the device up and it would start working. That didn't fi...

Thank you @fabien !!

The one thing I love (and hate a little bit sometimes) about Linux, there is always something new to learn.

Yeah, my bad! I failed to notice your old video card. My advice is to follow sunrat 's advice on this one - nvidia-testla-470-driver, or better yet nouveau. Regarding your second question; I don't think so, but maybe there is a way to do that I am unaware of. Trying to boot with drivers that are mis...

Proprietary Nvidia drivers are available in the bookworm non-free repo. That's the recommended way. I'd say log in via ssh as you did before, enable bookworm non-free in your sources.list and then do a "sudo apt install nvidia-driver". That's the meta-package that should give you all that ...

I just opened gedit and found a setting to show a border at 80 characters, but I can type right through it.

So I am supposed to throw a carriage return [enter] in when I hit 80? Like an old typewriter that I used when I was 11?

Weird.

Hmmm...

So, compose in a text editor and copy/paste.

In all my (42) years of using computers, I have never needed to intentionally constrain text in such a way.

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

Hello all, I've been using Linux as my main OS since the late 90s and tried virtually every distro except the very obscure ones. Until recently, I was walking the bleeding edge with a couple of the popular rolling release distros and I realized that consistency, reliability and security are more imp...

Hello all, In the Debian Mailing Lists Code of Conduct, it states: Wrap your lines at 80 characters or less for ordinary discussion. Lines longer than 80 characters are acceptable for computer-generated output (e.g., ls -l). How shall I achieve this automatically? I am not going to count my characte...

@cogitech congratulations on the happy ending! Please mark the topic solved by editing your first post to add prefix [Solved] to the title. It may be valuable information for others with similar issues. sunrat I'm not the OP :D Maybe we should wait for Druid123 to confirm that it also works for him...

The problem is /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules (if you are running nvidia proprietary driver). That file has a million different reasons why gdm might disable Wayland. It seems like overkill to me, but I am no expert. I found a bunch of threads in other places on the interwebs where people recomm...

amd_pstate implementation in Kernel 6.1 isn't fully mature, so only supports amd_pstate= passive (AFAIK). So change "active" to "passive" and don't forget to "sudo update-grub". Works perfectly for me (bookworm & default kernel): analyzing CPU 0: driver: amd-pstate ...

@cogitech How does amd_pstate=passive compare to amd_pstate=active paired with the powersave governor? Honestly, I am not sure. My main goal is simply to reduce temperatures and fan noise, and reduce power draw from the wall, so the (old) passive mode enabled in kernel 6.1 does the trick. I use my ...

Thanks for posting the solution.

Perhaps obvious, but I will note that following the above process enables the nvidia hw codecs in handbrake as well (via ffmpeg).

Got it figured out. Inserted "RUNTIME_PM_DISABLE= 04:00.0" into /etc/tlp.conf and rebooted. Now the SD card reader works instantly whether I am on AC or battery. Note: before installing tlp, many of my devices were set to "auto" even when on AC power (including the SD card reader...
