Photo in attachment.
I installed package nvidia-open-kernel-dkms, it didn’t help.

What can i do with it?

[towo]

nvidia from unstable is not compatible with kernel 6.6.

You could try the experimental packages.

Code: [Select]

nvidia-driver:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 545.29.02-0siduction2
  Version table:
     545.29.02-0siduction2 500

     525.147.05-4 500
        500 https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/non-free amd64 Packages

[Jotlemat]

Please tell me how to do this from the console.

[towo]

1. add the experimental sources
2. apt update
3. apt install -t experimental nvidia-driver
4. reboot

Maybe some are missing?

Since i do not have a nvidia card anymore, i can't say many.
From here: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=3193 the driver shoukd be compatible with kernel 6.6.

[Jotlemat]

HTTP ERROR 403

[towo]

Link works well here.

[Jotlemat]

Yes. Works.

[Jotlemat]

Why kernel 6.6 didn't work with driver 525.105.17-2?

[towo]

Because nvidia drivers, released way before the release of that kernel, never works.

[Jotlemat]

Thank you.

[Jotlemat]

I installed kernel 6.4.4, gcc-12, nvidia driver 525.105.17-2, but still the same error.

Clearly something else is missing...
