MX Linux Forum

Huckleberry Finn Yes indeed. My initial question was how to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-334.21 on 19.4 or 18.3. I read the documentation from Nvidia after downloading the driver and, I am sure that I am doing something wrong during installation. I understand that everything is better when ...

Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] vendor: ASUSTeK
driver: nvidia v: 304.137 bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:01d7
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: nvidia resolution: 1280x800~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: GeForce Go 7300/PCIe/SSE2 v: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 304.137 ...

What about this? First, open a small space and install MX 18.3 there, then install Nvidia easily with 1-2 clicks. At least to see if it makes a noticeable change if it's worth it (with an old card).


Huckleberry Finn It makes a huge difference. The system is working with no interruptions or ...

Thank you for the link @tony37! Until this point, I have an 18.3 kernel with the proprietary driver. Do I install on this system? If yes, how? Thank you twice, by the way!

Ok.

So @Huckleberry Finn I have installed 18.3 on a partition, entered 4.15.0-1, updated and upgraded. During the installation of NVIDIA, though, I get an error of unmet dependencies. Plus, I got broken packages.

Ok @Huckleberry Finn . Should I go for the
MX 18.3 2019-09-16 17:43 1.4G and,
MX 19.4 2021-05-16 05:25 1.6G iso's?

Would they do the job?

@Huckleberry Finn I checked to reset, but I find no option. MX and Debian repos have the option of selecting the fastest and individual apt sources have the restore option, which gives me "could not download original APT files". The other previous options are also not working.

Ok @Huckleberry Finn

18.3. How do I proceed?
