also, did you install nvidia drivers with the tool included on the iso, or some other way?

Code: Select all

I don’t suppose you still have the log file from the attempt.

/var/log/ddm.log

If you try again, you can revert with

Code: Select all

sudo ddm-mx -p nvidia

*Sorry, I don't have the log, I needed to get this machine up and running quickly so I just installed again. Thanks for this info. I may try it again, but perhaps there is some other method I will try with an older driver. IDK.

sudo ddm-mx -i nvidia -f nvidia-driver-package-name

nvidia-detect-mx

the output of the tool should tell you what other available drivers are compatible with your card, and how to force the tool to use them. usually something like

Code: Select all

sudo ddm-mx -i nvidia -f nvidia-driver-package-name

where nvidia-driver-package-name is the actual name of the package presented.

running

Code: Select all

nvidia-detect-mx

will also show you without running the full install tool.

and echoing what Eadwine Rose stated, posting the entire quick-system-info is useful in ways that some folks find surprising. For instance, we can tell what you used for install media, any commandline boot parameters in use, the mode of booting, model and make of the PC, repositories in use, and many other things.

Hmmm...since we only have up to

Code: Select all

$ apt policy nvidia-driver
nvidia-driver:
  Installed: 525.125.06-2.1
  Candidate: 525.125.06-2.1

available in MX 23 AHS, the indication that you may have 530.xx raises some questions!
