I’ve recently installed Debian 11 Linux on a HP Omen laptop with an Intel i7 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060.
I have installed the 530.41.03 driver (for Linux Kernel 5.10.0-23, at least according to uname -r) using the appropriate run-file downloaded from the official website. I made sure I disabled* the nouveau driver and that the nvidia drivers are running (checked using lsmod).
This can be confirmed by a functioning nvidia-smi which reports the driver number and what applications are using it.
The problem is my GUI - Cinnamon on lightdm using xorg (installed by graphical installer ISO) - is no longer functionality; on boot, the page just hangs so I’m restricted to console mode (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F* except F7).
Lightdm according to systemctl is active & running, consistently across boots, and the xorg process is also alive.
I’m just not sure why the system isn’t working. I’d appreciate any help and I’d be happy to supply additional information
*This was done by creating a file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory, with the following contents:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

Re: [Software] GUI hangs after NVIDIA driver install
Hi, I've attached the information below
Oh, and I'm not sure if this helps or not but using an old version of the kernel image seems to do nothing so I thought it might indicate an issue w/ xorg or lightdm.

Re: [Software] GUI hangs after NVIDIA driver install
You need firmware-misc-nonfree from the non-free section of the Debian repo.
The downloaded Nvidia driver should work (if firmware installed) but is a PITA as it needs to be reinstalled with kernel upgrades. It is far preferable to install nvidia-driver from the Debian repo though.
For that system, Bookworm would be a better choice than Bullseye; it is officially released in 5 days from now. Bookworm currently has the 525.105.17-1 driver which should work well with RTX 3060. You need non-free and non-free-firmware repos active.
