How? I’ll purge all nvidia packages, then install nvidia-kernel-dkms?
No. no. First purge all nvidia packages. Then go to the nvidia site and
download the installer. It is an executable named
NViidia-some-version.run.
Choose the correct one for your architecture. After download make it
executable and execute it. Note, that there may no olf kernel-module be
loaded. (If so, unload it: rmmod nvidia)
The other way is to use the nvidia-kernel-dkms packages. I prefer these
before
the already built packages. However, sometimes it fails to build, so I
take
the NVidia****.run as substitute.
Try both solutions. Maybe one will work.
Happy hacking!
