But where you tell users to use that repo for nvidia?
Thanks best regards
You did add this line by yourself, right?

Unless towo was cooking something new and special, I doubt this "repo" exists. unstable-nvidia seems to be a directory within the siduction unstable repo hierarchie which's packages are delivered through the "fixes" repo ... if I understand it correcly.

DO NOT use deb-multimedia. DO NOT add the repo. It is an unofficial 3rd party repo and has been responsible for numerous breakages due to the way it replaces system packages with badly versioned ones from its own repo.
If you need any package from there (you don't) download it manually and install it with apt locally.
@sunrat
Thanks i have read many people had many error for adding it
Best regards

It's a very disputable hint, put mildly.
You are right; that repository is unofficial and provided by a third party.
Do not install a single package from this repository without first activating it — it could be very dangerous!

I speak from experience of broken packages when I used dmo many years ago, and from numerous reports of others having similar issues. dmo is
not supported by Debian.

On siduction you generally don't need to add a separate NVIDIA repo manually beyond what's already provided. The important part is actually this line you already have:
deb https://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable-nvidia main contrib non-free non-free-firmwareThat unstable-nvidia fixes repo is the one siduction recommends for NVIDIA drivers. It exists specifically to provide tested NVIDIA packages that match sid/unstable without users having to pull directly from Debian experimental or mix things too much.
And besides that, we do not encourage the use of deb-multimedia.org. Merry Christmas.
Since the very beginning
ALL MY BUILDS INCLUDE
deb-multimedia.org
Never have I had a problem, NEVER
The guy was a debian dev, just like ... who they kicked out also, anyone remember him siduction used him at one time till debian kicked him out
main reason i left debian
THEY LIE

Confirmed! I remember!
I've also never had problems with deb-multimedia beside error in a package that was fixed with the next release.
Do you mean the user "Santa" who ran the kdenext repo?
