Good question, I was just going to write this: Choose the Stable.. Or say "no" when asked if you want the "latest" (which means testing...)
____________________________________________________________

The error is related to "acpi".. Enter your Bios and have a look at settings about acpi.. on/off , enabled/disabled ...

You can also hit e on grub screen (to edit temporarily) and add acpi=force (..with a space, at the end of the line,.. beginning with "linux" ... ) then hit F10 to go on booting.
____________________________________________________________

If you don't have Windows installed, (while you're at it) you can change sata mode to AHCI (from Raid) in Bios settings (highly recommended). (Though may not be directly related..)

With the 1050 chip, the driver in the normal repos should work fine. I found with my 1650 that they also worked, but the one from testing worked a little better which may be the same for you. However there are other issues in testing related to primus atm. So using the nvidia driver installer you should choose the default normal repos as huckleberry stated.

If it does not boot to a graphical login you may want to try removing the nomodeset from the grub configuration and move the xorg.conf file. This can be done by:
Login to the console as root (if you do not see a console login press cntl + alt + f1)
type: nano /etc/default/grub
on the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" line remove the nomodeset option (good time to add the acpi=force option ;) )
cntl + x -> y -> enter to save
type: update-grub
type: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bk
type: reboot

If it still does not work, please post the output of /var/log/ddm.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/apt/history.log (probably easiest to do this from a liveusb). Then we can go into more detail trying to make something work (like viewtopic.php?p=540829#p540829), and it will also give information to be able to fix / improve ddm-mx (nvidia driver installer)

Installing the driver I had this message https://postimg.cc/HjCBQPM8

Should be clicking Next?

or is this a indication of any problem(Just putting across all details so that I provide a detailed Info)

The last time I tried I gave Next and after the installation was done, system just froze.

i tried different combination of keyboard shortcuts. Tried the ALT+prntscreen REISUB - no response

It gives information that nouveau will be automatically "blacklisted" to avoid conflict.. And will take effect on next boot..

Installation has completed and system froze as before..

Is there any shortcut that can be tried ?

Or should I try to shutdown by pressing the power off button?

There was no setting related to acpi in bios.

I had edited the grub acpi=force

Image

System would not boot beyond this

No shortcut works.

the Keyboard is a backlit keyboard. Shortcut to turn on and off the backlight doesn't even work...

Read https://mxlinux.org/wiki/hardware/nvidi ... -recovery/ for instructions. I'm told that often, all that's required is renaming xorg.conf to make the nvidia driver work, but there's also instructions there for purging the nvidia driver and reinstalling nouveau.
