no HDMI on bullseye install

#1 Post by phi6ndepa »

i installed Debian 11 Bullseye on a 1TB NVMe drive with a live CD and i have a GeForce GT 1030 Nvidia graphics card on the board besides native GUI;and, the HDMI of the NVIDIA GPU wouldn't/won't output ( it loads up to the Debian bullseye pre-start screen with the options for normal boot, advanced options for DebianGNU/Linux (which had a normal and recovery bootmode) and a UEFI Firmware Settings

i followed this advice https://phoenixnap.com/kb/nvidia-drivers-debian and

and changed "buster" to "bullseye" in the nano editor (because the site used buster)

So i ran the web advice and eventually

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings
sudo apt install aptitude
sudo aptitude install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings
sudo reboot


And still no HDMI from the card.

Please help
Thanks

Firstly, running apt and aptitude installs both do the same thing. The danger of following advice on the internet without understanding exactly what those commands do.

You say there is no HDMI but then you have a boot menu appearing so HDMI seems active.
Try editing boot parameters to see if fallback video works. Enter GRUB edit mode by pressing "e" key at boot menu and add this to the line beginning with "linux"

Code: Select all

nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0

Well, the blue boot screen appears when hdmi is coming from the motherboard. It does the same with hdmi from the nvidia gpu card; however, the screen turns black with a white blinking underbar at the uppermost top left of the monitor, once it boots any debian 11 option. Upon quick exit from the debian 11 boot options, the grub menu appears; such as, when on motherboard hdmi boot (i am most certain but i'll have to recheck, that this is true on the nvidia gpu hdmi boot too). hdmi wont output from motherboard by the way, if the nvidia gpu hdmi connected through to boot and then was swapped. But i don't know where any line in grub is. I just know i can type code/commands in grub, but i don't know how to get to to the line beginning with linux. Don't i just enter that code in the grub menu ? Will i lose gui access to the motherboard if it doesn't succeed in also fixing the problem with the nvidia gui output ? I mean, if it shuts off native gpu and doesn't actually enable nvidia gui, then it'd only be stuck on grub. if i have to fresh install, should i not install any extra options li xconf or stuff ? What should be run on a re install besides installing a super user ? Thanks

A white blinking underscore usually means the OS has booted but is not able to display the graphical desktop. I suggest you disable the motherboard graphics in BIOS/UEFI setup and see if it then works from Nvidia card. That's how mine is set up. You can always change it back if needed. I'm guessing the system just doesn't know which GPU to output to.
I already told you how to edit GRUB options, press "e" at the GRUB menu. The linux line probably ends with the word "quiet". Just add it after that. But that may not be useful if you disable the motherboard graphics, it will probably just work without it.

GT 1030 should work fine out of the box with the default Nouveau driver. My GTX970 does.

After hitting the e, and text appears you can use the up and down arrow keys to navigate until you get to the linux line. There you add the option after a space, then hit cntl+x to boot.
