[EN] Warning: nvidia updates may not be suitable

[Pip]

I did a full-upgrade earlier with a number of nvidia upgrades, largely to version 525.89.02-2. After that, I couldn't boot into graphic mode or run startx at the command line (didn't note the error at the time, sorry).

nvidia-detect told me I should install nvidia-tesla-470-driver for my GK104 [GeForce GTX 770] (rev a1), which I did, but it still wouldn't boot into GUI. I was thinking of removing it completely, but just went for a few

Code: [Select]

sudo apt remove nvidia-alternative nvidia-egl-common nvidia-vdpau-driver nvidia-vulkan-common nvidia-vulkan-icd
which then expanded to:

After that, it booted into GUI again.

Be careful out there.

[eriefisher]

So what driver are you left with?

[michaa7]

It seems you have "nvidia-driver" still installed (which will always install the highest version, currently 525.x.

You need to uninstall it and replace it with "nvidia-tesla-470-driver". (Some nvidia utilites like nvidia-detect will still be a higher version which is necessary and does not hurt)

Don’t forgot the libnvidia-legacy-390xx packages.

[dpanter]

Nvidia in their infinite wisdom dropped support for Kepler chips in 2021 so upgrading would indeed cause a problem for a GTX 770.
The last driver series to support Kepler (GT/GTX6xx, GT/GTX7xx, Titan/Black/Z) is 470, with the side note that GTX745/750/750ti are still supported in the latest 525/530 driver series as those cards have Maxwell chips.

[shab]

how can I upgrdade if I have a GTX 770?

[Pip]

I have the GeForce GTX 770 and, after making the previously mentioned changes, I've not had any problems with upgrades.

[shab]

It worked for me as well. THX

[sidlix]

I attach myself once to the post.

I have a problem with a nvidia driver and the linux-headers-6.2.6-1-siduction-amd64.

Try "apt --fix-broken install" to fix this.

E: Unfulfilled dependencies. Try "apt --fix-broken install" without specifying a package (or specify a solution).




Attempting apt --fix-broken install fails with the same error message from above; even dpkg --configure -a does not provide a workaround.  Likewise, the packages cannot be removed after install nor the offending kernel with apt purge linux-image-6.2.6-1-siduction-amd64.


What am I doing wrong and does anyone have a solution?


Thank you very much for reading.

Probieren Sie »apt --fix-broken install«, um dies zu korrigieren.
Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:

E: Unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten. Versuchen Sie »apt --fix-broken install« ohne Angabe eines Pakets (oder geben Sie eine Lösung an).



Der Versuch mit apt --fix-broken install schlägt fehlt mit gleicher Fehlermeldung von oben; auch dpkg --configure -a schafft keine Abhilfe.  Ebenso lassen sich die Pakete nicht nach installieren noch der beanstandete Kernel mit apt purge linux-image-6.2.6-1-siduction-amd64 entfernen.

Was mache ich falsch und hat jemand eine Lösung?

Vielen Dank schon einmal für das Lesen.

You can't have newer driver than 470 series for the GT630. Read the posts in this thread as you already have the answer here.

[michaa7]

You need to purge "nvidia-driver" (which may cause the nvidia-470 driver to be purged, too!) and then install "nvidia-tesla-470-driver" (which will reinstall the 470 driver).
