Just on live session, GParted: open some space (8-10GB is enough)
http://it.mxrepo.com/Downloads/Snapshots/
You can also install 4.15 kernel (for it was reported to work when installing 304.xx , default kernel is 4.19) from MXPI (it may be in Popular Apps)
Then boot with it (Advanced Options on Grub) and start Nvidia Driver Installer from Menu ...

@Huckleberry Finn I checked to reset but I find no option.
Anyway, that MX is not healthy ... you need to repair everywhere, so, a clean 19.4 will be the best and fastest (sadly)
Shortly: You just need a clean 19.4 and a clean 18.3 . Takes 15x2 = 30 min roughly :)

Ok @Huckleberry Finn . Should I go for the
MX 18.3 2019-09-16 17:43 1.4G and,
MX 19.4 2021-05-16 05:25 1.6G iso's?
Would they do the job?

Yes, but imho no need for 32bit on 64 (to make it lighter etc.) .. Just "KISS" :)

Ok.
So @Huckleberry Finn I have installed 18.3 on a partition, entered 4.15.0-1, updated and upgraded. During the installation of NVIDIA, though, I get an error of unmet dependencies. Plus, I got broken packages.

for MX 18.3 you need to do this tweak to get the 304xx driver:

Thank you for the link
@tony37! Until this point, I have an 18.3 kernel with the proprietary driver. Do I install
on this system? If yes, how? Thank you twice, by the way!

You make the preferences file as in the link in post #36, and then again use MX Nvidia Installer.
If you want to make the preferences file with one command:
Code: Select all
echo -e "Package: glx-alternative-nvidia glx-alternative-mesa glx-diversions update-glx\nPin: release o=Debian\nPin-Priority: 1000\n" | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/nvidia
Also, please don't use downloaded files when there are better options, like repos.

What about this? First, open a small space and install
MX 18.3 there, then install Nvidia easily with 1-2 clicks. At least to see if it makes a noticeable change if it's worth it (with an old card).
@Huckleberry Finn It makes a huge difference. The system is working with no interruptions or freezes. Proprietary drivers are definitely the way to go. I intend to install the latest proprietary drivers on 19.4. I am sure there is a way to do it.
