Black screen after Nvidia driver update.

[Huckleberry Finn]

Don't worry, you already know (now) how to revert back.. Either Ctrl+Alt+F1 ... or directly nomodeset , or live session..

You can ask for help again anytime you like.


Just (either now or later) if you see such a file, delete it:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

It may say "No such file or directory", ... no harm. But if it gives no output: just reboot.

510 didn't work at all for me, so I gave up installing the Nvidia driver. After reading this thread, I tried with the newer 520, and it worked flawlessly.

Thanks!

Now just open Nvidia Driver Installer, next next Finish..

No ( Installation ran without errors, but after restart i received "no input" again"



From the interest i installed MX Test nvidia-driver 470.129.06-6~mx21+1 and... it works. Guess that's the 520 driver is wrong here in my case..?

[Huckleberry Finn]

Just there you can apply the

Code: Select all

sudo ddm-mx -p nvidia

Yes, I was just going to write the same. It's been ok for others so far, but it seems there's something with your card & 5.20 .

Oops, no, somehow even the install of .470 from test repo was finished without errors, it was not installed really

Maybe there is a problem with Wayland?

I was just writing this:

In the meantime you can still post "Quick System Info" from menu when you're able to boot, that may be useful to have an idea, also for devs...

Can i somehow keep 510?

[Huckleberry Finn]

Oh, I notice this just now:

... i use MX-21-KDE with... Gnome ...

Yes, that may be the reason.


(I was thinking it was the original MX KDE / AHS ... )

Oh... Ok.

Is it a bad idea to try install Debian Bookworm version?

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/nvidia-driver

If not, ok, i can live with open-source driver.
