Hello,
I can’t install an NVIDIA driver for the 900 series (the exact reference is GTX960 launched in 2015)
I go through the Nvidia Driver Installer in the Control Center.
Here is what it has been offering me for several weeks.Installed is: (none) Which driver do you wish to install Main repos or debian-backports? 1: Main 418.181.07-1 2: MX Test 460.39-1~bpo10+1 3: Exit Enter Number of selectionThe 418 driver does not install. This driver is quite old.
I tried to install driver 460 (test) but it gives me a black screen.
I tried several kernels but it doesn’t change anything, I still get the 2 drivers 418 and 460 test.
With MX Linux, I use the 450 driver which works really well because I use for example the Webrender for hardware acceleration in Firefox.You can guess that I would like to install driver 450 to remove the screen tearing that annoys me on my screen.
Best regards,
WallonSystem: Host: MSI Kernel: 4.19.152-antix.1-amd64-smp x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0 parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.19.152-antix.1-amd64-smp root=UUID=7da674d4-292a-42aa-b0a5-dd717bc90c00 ro quiet Desktop: IceWM 2.1.1 dm: SLiM 1.3.6 Distro: antiX-19.3_x64-full Manolis Glezos 15 October 2020 base: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Machine: Type: Desktop Mobo: MSI model: H170M PRO-VDH (MS-7982) v: 1.0 serial: <filter> UEFI [Legacy]: American Megatrends v: 2.A0 date: 07/27/2016 Memory: RAM: total: 15.61 GiB used: 709.8 MiB (4.4%) RAM Report: permissions: Unable to run dmidecode.

OpenGL: renderer: NV126 v: 4.3 Mesa 18.3.6 direct render: YesHi Wallon, it’s not clear to me why the graphic part of inxi is looking like that. It’s an installed system, yes ? Normally the nouveau-driver should be used ?
Did you boot the live-stick before the installation with any special options like safe video ?I got the same nvidia-card on my desktop, for booting the live-stick I use the boot-parameters ” xorg=nouveau nouveau.modeset=1 ”
I don’t use safe-video or something.
Then it uses the nouveau-driver correctly.Until now there have not been any problems to install the nvidia-driver afterwards on the installed system.
We first have to look why the system uses the modesetting driver instead of nouveau.
Do you use any bootparameters ?
cat /proc/cmdlineIs there anything relevant blacklisted (nouveau or nvidia) in /etc/modprobe.d/ or /usr/lib/modprobe.d/ ?
Also, before you try to install the nvidia-driver once again, you should remove the old one with
sudo ddm-mx -p nvidiaEdit: Is there a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ?

Wallon, I made a clean little test-install, installed kernel 4.19.152-antix.1-amd64 and after reboot installed the nvidia 418.181.0 with the nvidia-installer.
This worked without problems, even though I had to delete my old boot parameters (nouveau.modeset=1) and had to delete a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file which also referred to the nouveau driver.System: Host: antix1 Kernel: 4.19.152-antix.1-amd64-smp x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0 Desktop: IceWM 2.1.1 Distro: antiX-19.3_x64-full Manolis Glezos 15 October 2020 base: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Graphics: Device-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics vendor: Gigabyte driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 Device-2: NVIDIA GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: nvidia v: 418.181.07 bus ID: 01:00.0 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: modesetting,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,nouveau,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 960/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 418.181.07 direct render: YesSo it’s possible, you might have only some leftovers from the nvidia installation or from the nouveau driver somewhere.
I will now go on, remove the nvidia-driver again and look to install the latest from backports.Edit: No Problem again.

You can do this without rebooting in between.

Dear Caprea,
Each week, I do a fresh install in English US to test the installation of NVIDIA driver.
In this case, it’s also a fresh automatic install on a USB key.Your question;
Did you boot the live-stick before the installation with any special options like safe video?No (full automatic)
Your question;
I got the same nvidia-card on my desktop, for booting the live-stick I use the boot-parameters ” xorg=nouveau nouveau.modeset=1 ”As my keyboard is not Querty, it’s not possible to use the boot options with a Belgian computer. Ref please to my previous topic (not solved);
https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/usblive-why-is-it-not-possible-to-get-the-right-keyboard-directly-for-belgium/Your question;
I don’t use safe-video or something.Idem (Same) for me, I don’t use safe-video or something.
Please find detail for cat /proc/cmdline. Remember, this is a fully automatic installation.
an@MSI:~
$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.19.152-antix.1-amd64-smp root=UUID=7da674d4-292a-42aa-b0a5-dd717bc90c00 ro quiet
an@MSI:~
Your question;
Is there anything relevant blacklisted (nouveau or nvidia) in /etc/modprobe.d/ or /usr/lib/modprobe.d/ ?
I don’t know. Please find my screenshot. Would you please tell me if I should open a file and check something?Your question;
Also, before you try to install the nvidia-driver once again, you should remove the old one with sudo ddm-mx -p nvidia.
What to remove, it’s a fresh installation. Nothing has been installed. I have typed “3) Exit” at the end of Nvidia installation process.Your question;
Edit: Is there a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ?
Please find my screenshot. Would you please tell me if I should open a file and check something?Best regards,

Dear caprea,
This time I was able to install the 460 driver and remove the screen tearing with the magic command!
Control Centre > Session > User Desktop-Session > startup (tab). Add it at the end of the file.# Set nvidia driver non-screen tearing mode nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }" &In my dmesg log, I have a warning (udevd192 Error) regarding NVIDIA. I don’t know if I have to do something.

Good news and thanks for posting your solution for screen tearing.
As for the error warning, I’ve been living with it for a few years now, but never noticed any problems.Anonymous
wallon,
glad you solved the tearing. the 450 nvidia driver is in debian testing/bulleseye and
unstable branches if either of you want to test it out.
