How to install the driver on the video card correctly?
– NVIDIA GTX 650, 1gb video ram.
How to install the driver correctly on an audio system built into a motherboard?
– ALC892video card
initially, I installed the driver through the service that is in the system for this
but it seems to me that he did not install the driver very correctly
the application is working, the driver seems to be installed, I can choose the performance!
but ! During system startup, some error occurred with the video card modpobe!Problems with sound, through jack 3.5 (headphones)
the sound is soooooooooooooo bad compared to windows!
I just “feel all the wrong sound”, and this, for some reason, in all distributions!
I set the sound to 100% – loud, but the SOUND IS JUST DISGUSTING
If you do the same thing in Windows, the sound is just VERY loud, but not disgusting to the point of pain
as if, in Linux initially, the sound was somehow badly madeit’s just “painful” to listen to the same music, no matter what player, the sound is very bad …
what’s wrong?Can anyone tell you about these two things, how to fix it?
Understand correctly, I used windows-10 a lot!
And there are no such problems, I installed the system from the flash drive, use it! Everything works!
And if there is a problem with the video card, just download the file from the manufacturer’s website, and double-click on it, and that’s it!Could anyone give a detailed instruction?
so I wrote down “An-ti-x” on a USB flash drive
installed, entered
what to do next so that the system works no worse than windows?
what to do?..Ranting about your extensive experience will not lead to a solution.
Take a step back ~~ START HERE: How to search for a solution when you have an antiX problemaudio:
If you are hearing sound output, the ALC892 module (aka “driver”) is probably pre-installed and has been successfully loaded.
Not specific to ALC892, first-run audio adjustment to set the appropriate default volume levels is commonly necessary.
I cannot guess why you chose to “set the sound to 100%”. Doing so has likely introduced distortion…
Have you read this? https://download.tuxfamily.org/antix/docs-antiX-19/FAQ/alsamixer.html
The “fix” probably only requires revisiting the utilities (available from within the antixControlCenter GUI) for adjusting and testing the sound output.

Hi,
DRIVER:
Since antiX is based on Debian, you may try to search the internet with the following query ‘debian install driver’.
Also, Debian has a page dedicated to Nvidia
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDriversThe 1st search result in duck-duck-go:
https://phoenixnap.com/kb/nvidia-drivers-debian
or another one
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-driver-on-debian-10-buster-linux
seems to be applicable and they describe 2 ways:1) Install from repositories:
I assume that you have already installed via repository, replacing ‘systemctl reboot’ by ‘sudo reboot’.During system startup, some error occurred with the video card modpobe
It would help to provide the details; then someone more experienced may assist with the issue.
Also, you may consider to run
sudo apt install nvidia-modprobe
to install ‘nvidia-modprobe’, then run it in a terminal and report the results back.2) Install proprietary:
I am not sure how to boot into no-GUI environment in the case of ‘sysvinit’ (init system in antiX) instead of ‘systemd’.
Perhaps, this post (searched via ‘debian boot to no gui driver install’) will help:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/start-a-debian-based-os-with-out-x-no-gui-only-console-700786/Please be aware that driver installation may sometimes go wrong and may require fixing.
SOUND:
There are topics dedicated to sound in this forum.
My experience is that installing (and using) pulseaudio + pavucontrol helped to improve sound quality at higher volumes.
In order to use pulseaudio, it has to be started when logging in; uncomment/add line
pulseaudio -D
OR
pulseaudio --start
in file ‘~/.desktop-session/startup’ (one of the options should already be present commented out; if not, then explicitly add it).Some people consider these programs bloatware and try to avoid them and prefer other methods to deal with this issue.
Please search the forum for existing discussion(s).PS: Except for the SOUND part, I managed to search most of these information on the internet (… and I have used Linux for quite some time).
how to boot into no-GUI environment in the case of ‘sysvinit’ (init system in antiX)
You can specify the desired runlevel by appending a (space character and) numeral, e.g. 3 to the bootline.
Runlevel 1 is single-user (aka emergency mode, rescue mode)
Runlevels 2 and 5 are multi-user (autostarts SLiM display manager to initiate a graphical Xsession)
Runlevel 3 (citing this from memory) is multi-user, WITHOUT X session autostartRunlevel 4, I cannot recall offhand how, in antiX, it differs from runlevel 3…
sudo sysv-rc-conf
^—- you can compare (or edit) what is//is not slated to autostart for each runlevelModdIt
Understand correctly, I used windows-10 a lot!
And there are no such problems, I installed the system from the flash drive, use it! Everything works!I used windows-10 a lot, as i was forced to by my boss. Updates started uncontrollably while trying to do important business work, take hours and
make my fast expensive hardware run like a dead slug. With a network connection the computer was constantly sending data to MS. Not long ago
many workers found systems encrypted and unusable.And if there is a problem with the video card, just download the file from the manufacturer’s website, and double-click on it, and that’s it!
Maybe you try and understand correctly, you purchase a copy of windoze 10, or it came with a shiny new computer, you purchased driver support from Nvidia.
Nvidia does not help to give linux users proper support, actually they make things hard for devs and thus users. Complain to them not us, we are users too.
I have an Nvidia card in two machines, Neither is fully supported in linux.Linux is mostly developed and maintained by volunteers, antiX has a very small developer team and this forum where all those who post help and information
do so in there spare time. There is no Multi Billion Dollar corporation behind us, no paycheck. Many of us actualy donate to keep antiX running.
Linux Users are in general prepared to learn instead of bitching about supposed or in some cases real shortcomings.As skidoo noted, setting up a linux system means learning how to do so. I have excellent sound from alsa as installed on antiX BUT I do not
push volume to distortion levels. That applies to both internal speakers or headphones which quickly distort, nor to my Teufel sattelite and sub bass system.

but ! During system startup, some error occurred with the video card modpobe!
If this refers to a message during the boot like
“error running install command for nvidia”you can safely disregard it. This message has appeared again and again for years, but there does not seem to be a concrete problem.
You can look at the output from terminal from
inxi -Gxxx
if the driver is installed and working correctly, or post it here.BobC
I had similar problems originally with my Dell laptop (with nVidia GeForce GTX 960M) where it took 6 months or so to get video working acceptably.
My best suggestion is to buy something that you know already works, otherwise you will need to figure out how to make it work. If the manufacturers don’t support their hardware with Linux or other OS’s, and things don’t work, you will need to wait until someone provides a fix.
Have you tried searching for others running Linux with the same hardware? It’s your machine, so its in your best interest to do so.
Win 10 is an utter PIG in my opinion. I have never in my life seen anything designed to make me work and wait to overcome the lackings of the OS. Yes, the devices work, but Win 10 isn’t designed to work for me. I suffer with it all day, with its multiple daily crashes and eternal updates and reboots, and arrogant non-support.
Get it right
windows 10 (1507 version)
as friendly as possible, yes, maybe, maybe not everything is good with confidentiality
but, on the other hand, “everything works out of the box”, and what does not work is very easy to fix
I can guess, but maybe windows just supports significantly more and better hardware than any Linux distribution– I have problems in every distribution kit, and I have problems, they are the same, then some problems are fixed, but others appear …
“fun”)
With Linux you need to “tinker” more, am I right?
While I installed the windows, I may have downloaded a couple of EXEs, and that’s it, everything works correctly!can u watch recorded video ?
– https://youtu.be/4HnM4OEFBuc?t=267
its time code error.
or need only Text?or , u not can watch video?

Enjoy windows. Bye!
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
Xecure
If you want a friendly linux, not as resource efficient as antiX but as friendly as Windows, try PopOS instead. They have Nvidia drivers added by default in one of their ISOs, so it will be a better enjoyment for nVidia cards.
I share the opinion of most linux users, nvidia is a nightmare on Linux. Even Linux’ father had something to say about nvidia.
antiX Live system enthusiast.
General Live Boot Parameters for antiX.I watched your video. Yes, I see the nvidia error, but caprea said not to worry about that above. After that it booted just fine, and the desktop came up as expected. I don’t know why you think there is a problem.
From the control centre you can make an ISO snapshot of your system (including your programs and data) and use Live USB Maker to write it to a flashdrive, and then you can boot that flashdrive. You could use that flashdrive as a backup.
That doesn’t answer your “nvidia drivers” question, though, but sybok gave answers to that for you. antiX comes installed able to work with many nvidia cards, but if you want maximum performance for playing high speed games, installing proprietary nvidia drivers might help, but at a cost of a lot more complexity, to install it.
Here is what I used for a web browser search string for your nvidia question
geforce gtx 650 linux antix mx debian buster nvidia install
I also run a laptop with the high end nvidia (Dell XPS 15-7559), but I just use the drivers that comme installed with antiX for my video.
If you like Win 10 better, its ok, just go back to it, or try something else, like MX, Ubuntu, Debian, or PopOS like Xecure suggested. antiX runs on the newer hardware, but it isn’t intended to be fancy, just fast and functional.
