Got it installed using the same method used in antiX19 :D
This works on an RTX series Card
1 Boot to live USB
2 drop to tty login as root (it will probably do this auto due to RTX issues - this is Linux wide and not anything specific to do with Antix)
3 perform a full update & upgrade
4 run nvidia cli commands as per Dolphin instructions - see below
sudo apt install --install-recommends nvidia-driver nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-dkms libnvidia-encode1
5 run cli-installer
6 reboot

Zeb, did that pull in nvidia-persistenced?
in our user's case here, the drivers are installed but there is an error in the nvidia-persistenced installation.

@ER - nvidia installer does not touch grub
Noob grub user error, have never fiddled in that section there. I had grub set to possibly save last boot option. Now I know what that means

I just slapped 19b1 on my Lenovo W530 and I went to set up the work VPN (openconnect) to see if I could reproduce the issue I have at home with my MX 18.3 machines, (namely that that I get a 404 and a "can't do HTTP 1.0" sort of an error from openconnect in NetworkManager, but it runs fine from the CLI).
I go to the NetworkManager applet, down to VPN Connections, click Add a VPN Connection, and see that openconnect is an option, so the bits are all installed.
But I select the Cisco OpenConnect option and the VPN tab is missing, so I can't actually configure the connection.
For comparison, my BunsenLabs Lithium box (also Deb 10 based), there is a VPN tab there and I can configure it.
I did notice that MX 19b1 is missing the network-manager-openconnect-gnome package, but BL has it installed.

So, if you install that package, does it solve your problem? If it does, then perhaps it should be included on the iso.

Well, you can all slap me now.
I did a
Code: Select all
sudo apt search network-manager-openconnect-gnome
and it returned nothing at all, so I was curious if y'all were hiding the package for some reason.
But this is a fresh install and a
is necessary first. Oops.
So that works and it actually connects, unlike MX 18! Thanks, I'll go back to feeling silly now.

I'm getting errors during codecs install, first installed nvidia driver, which worked.
Performed a reboot, installed the codecs and when it was around 99% (Fix missing dependencies), it presented me an error: Error running 'apt-get -fm install' command.
Just stating for the record that I have this happening here as well.
you nvidia users...

Root Terminal disappeared?
Please elaborate. Your comment as it appears is not helpful to developers without more details.
It's not in the system, I can't find it anywhere...
