Title: Nvidia Installation
Post by: svx-biker on 2017/04/17, 10:52:05
Ich habe für den Dell Tower den NVIDIA driver analog zu anderen Distros installiert

Code Select
apt-get install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

Mal sehen, ob der Neustart klappt

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

Entschuldigung für Englisch, bitte ...
I found this (http://www.allaboutlinux.eu/remove-nouveau-and-install-nvidia-driver-in-debian-8/) helpful on an older HP laptop with Nvidia GeForce 7150M GPU.

@dibl - nice findig, but please remember - we don't install recommends right now - thats why i mentioned the --install-recommends

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.

Code Select
apt install  xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx nvidia-settings-legacy-304xx nvidia-legacy-304xx-smi nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms libgl1-nvidia-legacy-304xx-glx nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver nvidia-legacy-304xx-vdpau-driver

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 ;)
