install buster with nvidia

[kmchen]

Hi,

Tried to install Buster on a SLIMBOOK (I7) with nvidia card. Installation successfull but no X server at boot.

Followed this tuto https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install- ... ster-linux without success. Started with default driver and ended compiling [460.39] version with no result.

Here some X logs:

Code: Select all

# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep '(EE)'

Any help greatly apreciated

Please read the FAQ: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=148440

And I'd advise to search also Debian wiki before some random instruction.

Did not understand "...search also Debian wiki before some random instruction"

Read the FAQ. In rescue mode logged as root with no X server runing:

I'll see the realtek problems later. I fisrt would like to have a working Desktop.

Then reboot and still fails on boot with exactly same X logs described at first post:

Is this a new Slimbook? Can you give us the specs for the processor and graphics? I would bet it has both integrated and discrete GPUs. You should know that Buster, possibly even with the help of buster-backports, does not support the latest Intel and AMD graphics. If it doesn't need a newer Mesa, you may be able to get it to work with firmware, or a newer kernel and firmware from backports...BUT an answer depends on the hardware. We need to know that first.

All that output is not important compared to the last line:

Code: Select all

model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz

Tenth generation Intel is not compatible at present with Buster or Buster backports, because of the need for a newer Mesa for the iGPU to work.

This sort of problem is coming up several times a week now in these forums. You have a choice of trying Debian testing with the non-free firmware, now that it's frozen, or a Debian-derived distro that has the necessary backports by default.
