Problem with nVidia

[Arjen Balfoort]

Sorry for the late reply. I've been on holidays.

Unfortunately, I don't have an envidia card but whenever I have your problem I create a new user account and use that to login. Usually that account works and I can work through all the config files until I find the corrupt one.

But is it possible to create a new user account without being able to login with the current user?

Good night.

Coming back to this, how can I install nvidia through the backdoor?

Uh-oh you don't want software to enter your system through a backdoor. :duck-and-cover ...
Você não quer que o software entre no seu sistema através de um ... porta dos fundos ... de trás ... das traseiras?

Do you want to use debian backports?
1. Activate the backports repository in SolydX System Settings: 2nd tab (Repositories) - check "Activate Backports" - click "Save Backports"
2. then update in terminal: sudo apt-get update
3. then install your package from backports with: sudo apt-get install -t stretch-backports <packagename>

Eu não tenho absolutamente nenhuma experiência com nvidia, mas se este sistema é de 2014 eu faria uma nova instalação, e se você precisa usar backports, eu escolheria SolydXEE em vez disso. Vai ser o próximo Debian stable em breve.

I have absolutely no experience with nvidia but if this system is sitting around since 2014 i would do a fresh install, and if you need backports, I would choose SolydXEE instead. It's going to be the next debian stable soon.

Este sistema não é o de 2014, tenho a última versão atualizada. Esqueci de mencionar.

Sim, o que pretendo é ativar as backports de Debian. Não me tinha explicado bem.

Em relação ao SOLYDXEE, refere-se a edição entusiasta?

Obrigado pela resposta, vai ajudar.

This system is not 2014, I have the latest version updated. I forgot to mention.

Yes, I want to activate the Debian backports. He had not explained me well.

With regard to SOLYDXEE, does the enthusiastic edition refer?

Thanks for the response, it will help.

PT:
Tenho de subestituir <packagename> por <nVidia>?

ENG:
Do I have to replace <packagename> with <nVidia>?

Code: Select all

xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx:~$ inxi -Gxx
Graphics:  Card-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
           bus-ID: 00:02.0 chip-ID: 8086:0416

3. then install your package from backports with: sudo apt-get install -t stretch-backports <packagename>

Please clarify:

1. which system is presently installed: SolydX regular or SolydXEE? This is important: SolydXEE does not need backports and does not have backports!
2. which exact hardware? I'm guessing laptop - which one? And is it an optimus system - check here: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... tification?
3. did you do anything specific after system installation - install drivers or change xorg or graphics configuration?
4. and which problem - still no login like 2014? black screen?

Por favor, esclareça:

1. qual sistema está atualmente instalado: SolydX regular ou SolydXEE? Isto é importante: o SolydXEE não necessita de backports e não tem backports!
2. Qual é o equipamento exacto? Estou adivinhando portátil - qual deles? E é um sistema optimus - veja aqui: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... tification?
3. fez alguma coisa específica após a instalação do sistema - instalar os controladores ou alterar a configuração do xorg ou dos gráficos?
4. e qual o problema - ainda sem login como 2014? tela preta?

1. I'm with the SolydX System (64bts).
2. Terminal output:

   Code: Select all

   xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx:~$ lspci | grep 3D
   01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 950M] (rev ff)

3. In the SolydX system settings I have the option to install the nVidia drivers, the installation never happened.
   
   I decided to try the command (# ddm -i nvidia) after seeing the help shared in;
   

   Code: Select all

   file:///usr/share/solydxk/system/html/pt_PT/helpdd.html

   - The installation seems to have been successful, but how can I be sure?
4. No, today (2019) I can log in without any problems, with all available updates installed.

So the issue is solved?

[jsvenancio]

I think so.
Is there any command or other way to be sure?
