seems to bring in a lot of stuff, but will optirun work?
Something's not right; loads of output, but nothing happens?

Greetings Team

Excellent - works as advertised - especially the grub boot menu is pure art - can finally see all
25x partitions, clearly - kiss - one caveat - tried to uninstall FF69, but synaptic wants to install
FF60-ESR instead - dont want that - want to install waterfox/seamonkey...

Any ideas, or is this simply beta blues ...

Regards

Jack

Still no good. I accepted the option to continue with an unsupported driver.

Thank you, Sir - will do and revert soonest ..

Strangely I tried to delete VLC, and synaptic wanted to delete a whole bunch
of libreoffice library files ... coincidence?

Regards

Jack

PS - of course the big test will come when I install KDE standard ...

Chris, what does the output of "nvidia-detect" say?

starting to get closer. this is so frustating. your output indicates it tried to install both nvidia-driver and nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver.

I'm feeling like maybe there is a problem with bumblebee setups and legacy drivers. But I'm not done yet, you've given me more to work with.

lets' purge out any nvidia stuff remaining.

Code: Select all

ddm-mx -p nvidia
reboot, and then try

Code: Select all

sudo apt install bumblebee-nvidia nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver-libs nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver-libs:i386 nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-dkms
