Hi Ebon, I am running a NVidia GTX-960 iin Debianbookworm and it is working lie a charme.
No problems with any of the apps, Greg mentioned. KDE, Steam games and everything elese is working great. FYI I am running a backport kernel, it is 6.9.7+bpo-amd64. -------------------- If your card is not detected, check, if the neouveau kernel module is blacklisted. There should be an entry in /et/modprobe/ named "nvidia-disable-nouveau.conf", which is creatred during install. If not, either create one manually or delete the kernel nouveau module manually. Ok, let us guess, it is already blacklisted and not loaded. -------------------- Check., if it is NOT loaded and if nvidia kernel modules ARE loaded: lsmod | grep nouveau lsmod | grep nvidia Is the kernel module "nvidia" running? -------------------- Well, for testing purposes move any login manager tewmporarly out of the way (these are /usr/ bin/lightdm, /usr/bin/kdm, /usr/bin/sddm and whatever you have.) . When you now reboot, you will get just the console, but if you give the command "startx" as root, X-Server should start. If NOT, it will show you the reason why. Please tell us, what it said. If it is now starting well, you are good and can move your loginmanagers back. After reboot, it should automatically starting the -Server witrh a login greeter. -------------------- If still not, check, if the kernel does see the hardware. Use the command "lspci" and look, if the graphics card is seen. If yes, then you are good. -------------------- If this does not help, and you need further assistance, please let us know and provide any information you got, especially all messages, exact bahaviour, what you did and how and so on. -------------------- List of installed packages: protheus1:~# dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia | egrep -v deinstall firmware-nvidia-gsp install glx-alternative-nvidia install libegl-nvidia0:amd64 install libegl-nvidia0:i386 install libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx:amd64 install libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx:i386 install libglx-nvidia0:amd64 install libglx-nvidia0:i386 install libnvidia-cfg1:amd64 install libnvidia-egl-gbm1:amd64 install libnvidia-egl-wayland1:amd64 install libnvidia-egl-wayland1:i386 install libnvidia-eglcore:amd64 install libnvidia-eglcore:i386 install libnvidia-glcore:amd64 install libnvidia-glcore:i386 install libnvidia-glvkspirv:amd64 install libnvidia-glvkspirv:i386 install libnvidia-ml1:amd64 install libnvidia-pkcs11-openssl3:amd64 install libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler1:amd64 install libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler1:i386 install nvidia-alternative install nvidia-cuda-mps install nvidia-driver install nvidia-driver-bin install nvidia-driver-libs:amd64 install nvidia-driver-libs:i386 install nvidia-egl-common install nvidia-egl-icd:amd64 install nvidia-egl-icd:i386 install nvidia-installer-cleanup install nvidia-kernel-common install nvidia-kernel-dkms install nvidia-kernel-source install nvidia-kernel-support install nvidia-legacy-check install nvidia-modprobe install nvidia-settings install nvidia-smi install nvidia-support install nvidia-tesla-alternative:i386 install nvidia-tesla-driver install nvidia-tesla-driver-bin install nvidia-tesla-kernel-source install nvidia-vdpau-driver:amd64 install nvidia-vdpau-driver:i386 install nvidia-vulkan-common install nvidia-vulkan-icd:amd64 install nvidia-vulkan-icd:i386 install xserver-xorg-video-nvidia install -------------------- Good luck!
