Debian bullseye system randomly freezes with NVIDIA graphics card and nouveau driver.

Can it also be done in MX Linux 21?

Ahem...we made sure to port the 340 drivers from Sid back in August before we released MX 21. Just use the MX Nividia driver tool for an automatic install.

I already tried that, but it didn't seem to work.
I also asked the MX Linux forum about it here : https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 01adde257d

I don't see any change at all after installing it through nvidia driver installer. No splash screen, no nvidia-settings, and no nvidia-xsetting. Usually after installing nvidia driver all my font would look big, I would have to edit the nvidia-xorg.conf/xorg.conf to use noedid false options, and the plymouth would not showing correctly. And I also still get the freeze after suspend bug in mx linux 21.

=========================================

I tried it once again using nvidia driver installer, now it just works. wew.

@Watsoon Привет! Слава Украине! Я тоже из Харькова.
Поясни пожалуйста как ты это делал эту магию? Я пытаюсь повторить тоже самое в Devuan chimaera 5.10.0-12-amd64, gf9800gtx Спотыкаюсь на nvidia-modprobe она лрмает libc6 и локаль.
Качал пакеты по твоим ссылкам только 340.108-13

@Watsoon Hello! Glory to Ukraine! I am also from Kharkiv. Can you please explain how you did this magic? I try to repeat the same thing in Devuan chimaera 5.10.0-12-amd64, gf9800gtx Stumble on nvidia-modprobe it lrm libc6 and locale. Downloaded packages on your links only 340.108-13

This nouveau driver is a buggy peace of crap.

It is almost impossible to use it.

So I have installed proprietary driver "nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver_340.108-11" from "Debian Sid" repository.

It seems that this driver has been patched.

It successfully builds with kernel "5.10.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.70-1 (2021-09-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux".

I didn't want to update the full system to "sid", so i have downloaded just several deb packages and installed them manually with "dpkg".


The kernel module has been successfully built.

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia              10604544  41
drm                   618496  4 nvidia

Well, it works. I've installed the nvidia-legacy-340xx on Sparky6 PoTolo (=Debian Bullseye).
The list of 14 files:

Code: Select all

libegl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx_340.108-10_bpo10+1_amd64.deb
libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx_340.108-10_bpo10+1_amd64.deb

xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-340xx_340.108-10_bpo10+1_amd64.deb

plus 6 files from synaptic pm :

Code: Select all

glx-alternative-nvidia
nvidia-installer-cleanup
nvidia-kernel-common
nvidia-modprobe
nvidia-support
dkms

Plus two additional files from synaptic pm:

Code: Select all

linux-headers-5.10.0.22-amd64
linux-headers-5.10.22-common

This is the kernel on my system, while dkms uses 5.10.0.25 headers.

Install the bullseye files first, then open terminal in the folder with 14 nvidia files and execute:

Code: Select all

dpkg --force-depends -i ./*

When a message appears about the need to reboot after the installation, click ok.
During reboot you will see nvidia screen. After login execute nvidia-settings in terminal to check if everything works.

The nouveau driver works fine and looks normal, however when playing video files it uses way more cpu than nvidia-legacy.
MXlinux has nvidia app for drivers, Ubuntu has a user called Butterfly, while Debian and other derivatives have some manual instructions, thanks to Watsoon.
