Install driver Nvidia for geforce go 7300 [Solved]

[Lilium23]

huckleberry, , that's not a problem :-) If it doesn't work, I'll reinstall 19.04 and drop everything.
As I said, KODI in this distro doesn't work, so driver installation remains an experimental thing :-)
I try to install the deb package, and after that I'll let you know :-)
Thanks

I launched the deb package, and it tells me that: A later version is already installed.
I don't want to bother any more :-)
If you want we can stop. :-)

:) Ok. But if you like (this one is simple) first uninstall the current one:

Code: Select all

ddm-mx -p nvidia

reboot (though not a must) and click the .deb again :)

@Huckleberry Finn that deb needs a lot of other debs to get installed...

@Lilium23 maybe all you need to do is disable compositing.
(Yes, you did that when trying with 19 but not this time, so it must be on by default).

There's obviously something preventing it to be loaded because it looks installed, also no errors when installing, also successfully stopped Nouveau from being loaded .. So, there's just a tiny thing that prevents Nvidia.

Before doing any changes, just uncheck that, reboot and see .

@Huckleberry Finn, would be MX rifiniture in the Italian version?

Huckleberry, I open your love for Italian :-)
However after removing the driver, disabling compositing,
the .deb file does not work.

So, the last thing to try: Install again with Nvidia Driver Installer (when still compositing is off)

Or, first another, older kernel, say antiX 4.9 from MXPI Popular Apps (that will also be lighter or more suitable for older hardware) then boot with and install.

[Lilium23]

Antix 4.9 failed

I try to install the driver from MX tools!
