Stuck at acpi error after grub

[mxp]

That was what I did. I meant I have Windows 10 Version 2004. I am dead sure

[Huckleberry Finn]

Aha ! Sorry, then

Code: Select all

acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2020\"

I'm not sure if this would work. But if you say you want to try and you can do that:

When MX is selected on grub screen hit the key E

Then go to the bottom (the line that begins with vmlinuz ... and ends like ... ro quiet splash ...

Type it among them "literally" , then hit F10 to go on booting.. Say :

... ro quiet acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2020\" splash ...
_______________________________________________________________

This will be "temporary", only for "that boot", so no harm ...

And observe any differences ...

I am still not certain they even need this yet... take a look at post #32
viewtopic.php?p=587282#p587282

It seems they never got the Nvidia driver installed, maybe it didn't get purged, maybe it was an install over another version.

This could be why the optirun command isn't found.

Now with my Optimus enabled laptop, I don't need to mess with GRUB until after I install the Nvidia driver.
Even on some of the Optimus laptops, some have an acpi issue, others don't.

Either way I think we need to get the Nvidia driver installed and verified. Then on reboot if there are issues, we address those at that time.

[Huckleberry Finn]

True.

Hey guys
Is there any way to install Nvidia drivers without messing with GRUB?

Yes, You shouldn’t need to. But let’s make sure because it doesn’t seem like it was installing when it should have. If it still doesn’t then we will try to set the GRUB option, and we will MX Boot Options rather that the command line, that’s what it is there for... to make it easy.

I assume you are on the 5.6 kernel still.

Since you were having dpkg lock issues, I assume you never had it actually installed the last few times you tried, but let’s run..

Code: Select all

sudo ddm-mx -p nvidia

This will remove anything that shouldn’t be there. After it is finished, please reboot.

After you have rebooted, run the Nvidia Driver Installer from the menu.

When it asks you if you want to “Refresh Sources with apt-get update. Choose YES

When it asks if you have an Optimus system choose YES

After this it should show you candidates. Hopefully it says 440.100 like Stevo mentioned.

When it asks to check the Test Repo, choose NO

Continue to follow the prompts (sorry on phone right now and can’t check the rest of the steps).

But if it finishes without issues, reboot. If it complains again about anything let us know.

Also will Linux will manage my fan and cpu speeds as per usage automatically or will it use it always at a high speed? Coz high is 4.5 ghz and the fan is throwing real hot air rn and I have just started using the laptop like 1hr ago max...
Also can I install Nvidia gpu drivers on fresh install wo problems.?

.

In my experience best result with asus notebook is use
boot parameter

Code: Select all

acpi_osi=!

For optimal use, if that problem's appeared

And if bumblebee have problem with your hardware, then best option is for you

Let’s not take this into some round about way just yet until we have verified there are issues with the normal way in MX Linux please.

We don’t want to over complicate things as it is.

Same symptoms I've got on my asus notebook and one and only solution was using the boot parameter

Code: Select all

acpi_osi=!

Depends on hardware, maybe new kernel will be* solving this
Maybe you know more, I don't dispute ...
