Nü - ich würde den noch mal deinstallieren und mit --install-recommends erneut installieren

Entschuldigung für Englisch, bitte ...
I found this helpful on an older HP laptop with Nvidia GeForce 7150M GPU.

Yes, thank you.  I could have been a little more verbose on my post -- siduction ships with build-essential and linux-headers and (I think) dkms so that part is n/a.  Also, skip the i386 section if you're running a 64-bit OS.  But the rest of it might lead OP to a successful nvidia kernel module.


Also, of course


Code: [Select]
apt update && apt install nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver (if that is correct for the GTS 240 GPU).


EDIT: Upppps --- 340xx is indeed the correct driver for the GT 240 series.

On some cards, using --install-recommends fails (especially when building the iso with nvidia drivers) so I am now in the habit of the above ;)
