Install driver Nvidia for geforce go 7300 [Solved]

[Huckleberry Finn]

Even just this is enough rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau

:)

(But if that doesn't work, apply all, that will also create a blacklist file and update initramfs .. to make it sure)

[Lilium23]

So, I'll list the various steps:
in the boot menu in the kernel parameter box, I entered this:

Code: Select all

quiet splash rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau rdblacklist=nouveau

I performed the remaining steps from the terminal, reboot, but the resolution is with large icons, from system info it reads:

Code: Select all

Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] 
  vendor: Toshiba America Info Systems driver: N/A bus ID: 01:00.0 
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: nouveau,vesa

If it is not possible I leave it alone, since the kodi that I need does not start at all.
For kodi I wanted to install proprietary drivers.

Thanks for all your interest :-)

Code: Select all

sudo echo -e 'Section "Device"\n Identifier "Nvidia Card"\n Driver "nvidia"\n VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"\nEndSection' | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

(Also delete if there's any ..nouveau.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ )

Code: Select all

echo -e 'nvidia\n\nloop' | sudo tee /etc/modules ; sudo update-initramfs -uk all

Reboot

... but the resolution is with large icons...

That's normal because it worked at least to stop nouveau as the driver , but this time it's with no driver and xorg is with vesa ...

Device-1: NVIDIA G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300]
vendor: Toshiba America Info Systems driver: N/A bus ID: 01:00.0
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: nouveau,vesa

So, we can force it for the last time to load Nvidia both as graphics driver and for xorg (at least to see what happens).

ok, i need to reinstall nvidia driver from MX tools >> install nvidia driver?

[Lilium23]

Code: Select all

sudo echo -e 'Section "Device"\n Identifier "Nvidia Card"\n Driver "nvidia"\n VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"\nEndSection' | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

(Also delete if there's any ..nouveau.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ )

Code: Select all

echo -e 'nvidia\n\nloop' | sudo tee /etc/modules ; sudo update-initramfs -uk all

Reboot

launched these commands from the terminal, I rebooted and a black console appears asking for Username and password, I put them on and the black command console remains. Or had to put the other disc back to write now.

So, if Nvidia driver was installed thoroughly even these wouldn't be required.

On that black screen (after logging in manually)

Code: Select all

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf.old

Code: Select all

sudo update-initramfs -uk all

Code: Select all

sudo reboot

these will just turn it back to previous state for now (with neither Nvidia nor Nouveau)

Tip: To type them easily you can use the tab key: Just type some part, then hit the tab (it'll auto-complete)

i.e. sudo mv/e(hit tab) /X(hit tab) /xo(hit tab)/20-nv(hit tab) ...

Nothing to lose to try now, also takes only 2-3 clicks and 1-2 min. (but you didn't have to, at that stage) :)

Done!

Now I have the usual low resolution with large icons.
Tell me what to do :-)
Thanks

Now (sadly) there are just 2 options:

To retry nvidia installation (though it looks hopeless)

Or remove those blacklists (boot options and .conf file) and turn back to Nouveau ...

The weird thing is that yours is on the list of supported cards by driver 304.137 .
