Will give it a try; thks:-)

With all help requests, as per forum rules (which, if you haven't, please read), please share your full Quick System Info, do not edit.
If need be, you can do this using the LiveUSB, thanks.

Wonder if there's a way to get Quick System Info in command line?
I can't bring that box down ...

Hi
I SSH into my box as root, su - user, startx, and Mx Create Live USB etc says cannot run in root.

Sorry reason for that is because hdmi screen is blank no logon prompt so have to remote.

Also kind of difficult to get the system config.

No idea why hdmi does not show screen after a long while ...

Here's a summary of the experiments:
1. install mx23 on local disk (not using usb image boot with overlay)
2. apt clean/upgrade (without modifying repos, ahs should be enabled in default)
3. mxtool-> install nvidia driver
4. reboot a few times should work
5. power->sleep->wakup will get blank screen ...

Finally, tried to clean up and redo the whole thing now it seems alright with the apt upgrade after Install nvidia driver. No idea what went wrong.

However, after that, apt upgrade results in: (actually redone this Install Nvidia Driver without changing repo's)

dpkg-divert: error: rename involves overwriting '/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1' with
different file '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1', not allowed
dpkg: error ...

Hi
I made it work by doing a local disk install, enable test repo and backport, then MXTools-> Install Nvidia Driver, then still some error, but reboot a few times seems working now.


root@mx:/home/fkam# inxi -G
Graphics:
Device-1: NVIDIA driver: nvidia v: 535.183.06
Display: server: X.Org v: 1 ...

Interesting, I just see Settings-> nvidia setting is available now. But is it that I'm not letting the installer install the right kernel image for this driver due to my ram persistence usb setup?

Hi,
I am running mx-23 ram based boot with persistence, and tried to install Nvidia driver for rtx-4060 which is the main display card for my desktop.
After mxtool->nvidia driver install, it selected the latest nvidia something like 535.... to do a lot of downloads and make, and there're some ...

Many thks:-)
