Install driver Nvidia for geforce go 7300 [Solved]

[Lilium23]

@Huckleberry Finn I did what you told me:
MX 18.3 installed, 4.15 pae kernel installed,
set by boot options, tried to install nvidia driver
from MX tools, but nothing to do, this comes out:

Code: Select all

Some packages cannot be installed. This can mean
that an impossible situation has been requested or, if you are
using a development distribution, which some packages required
have not yet been created or have been removed from Incoming.
The following information can help resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver: Depends: nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver-libs (= 304.137-6 ~ mx17 + 1) but it is not going to be installed
                              Depends: nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver-bin (= 304.137-6 ~ mx17 + 1) but it is not going to be installed

First I made the updates and he gave me this message

Code: Select all

ATTENTION: the following packages cannot be authenticated.
    cli-aptix
    cli-installer-antix

    virtualbox-guest-utils
    virtualbox-guest-dkms
Install these packages without verifying them? [s / N]

If it is not possible to resolve, I leave it alone.
Tell me :-)

Did you try this one or installing with the default 4.19 ?
____________________

Shortly, as a workaround, issue this in a terminal (that will create the required file).

Logout & Login (or reboot)

Start "Nvidia Driver Installer" ...
___________________________________

In case it works and Nvidia gets installed, but you face a black screen at next boot:

Ctrl+Alt+F1 Login Manually (type username and pw.), then :

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code: Select all

sudo reboot

Hello Huckleberry finn , I didn't have time to devote. As soon as I do I bring news :-)

I did the whole procedure, and the driver installed.
On reboot, the only kernel that gained access to the system was the 4.15.0-1-686-pae i686 kernel.
But the system continues to use the noveau driver.
I add system logs.

On Grub menu hit E (when 4.15 is highlighted) and add

Code: Select all

modprobe.blacklist=nouveau

(the line at the bottom that begins with linux... ) after ... ro quiet splash ...

... ro quiet splash modprobe.blacklist=nouveau

hit F10 to go on boot.
_____________________________

Also, since you didn't face a black screen maybe you didn't need to do that, but if there's such a file, delete :

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

[Lilium23]

added modprobe.blacklist = nouveau f10 for reboot, screen with big icons appears, and keep using nouveau.
In the X11 folder I don't find xorg.conf files, but xorg.conf.in

[Huckleberry Finn]

It seems to me Nvidia just appeared "as if" it was installed ... and no, that one's another file...

(Meanwhile it needs to be exactly as above, without spaces)

Yes, i done without spaces.
Nvidia server setting appears in the dash, but it always uses nouveau as a driver.

[Huckleberry Finn]

Menu => "MX Boot Options" : into "Kernel Parameters" box (with a space after the others... ) :

Code: Select all

rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau rdblacklist=nouveau

Apply. (In fact just one is enough; they're similar, this is the "crazy way" :D )

Code: Select all

sudo echo -e 'blacklist nouveau\nblacklist lbm-nouveau\nalias nouveau off\nalias lbm-nouveau off\noptions nouveau modeset=0' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf

Code: Select all

sudo update-initramfs -uk all ; sudo update-grub

Reboot.

Hello Huckleberry Finn.
Is this command enough?
