Please start a new thread with your specific question.

Have you looked at the Debian wiki to see if there is an answer? https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

yes sir I did , i spend half day to find a solution and nothing !!drivers are going in system but that doesn't help with nothing !!!

damo · 2020-05-12 23:30:25

How did you install?

Is your system still using the default nouveau driver?
Is your hardware an optimus laptop (which will need setting up for nvidia)?

Post the output of (using [ code ] tags please):

lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga"

So you hadn't rebooted before?

If you could edit the title of your first post and add "[SOLVED]" it may help others looking for an answer.

NO ! i rebooted every time after installing drivers and after 5 hours i just reinstalled once again Helium and nvidia drivers and didn't reboot just switched off so its not what y might think !! but i have another partition with Hydrogen installed (i like more colors in Hydrogen !! )) and i will try again similar steps to see if i will get same issues !!!

My experience is that you will be in a world of pain if you try to do any xorg configuration, as described in many places.

You still haven't said how you installed the driver. It is likely to be

sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver

But you can check what is needed using nvidia-detect (which you may have to install).

Check this post.

well yes I don't want to mess with Xorg either (but that's why i love BunsenLab I can reinstall it in 15 min if any issue, I'm still test it anyway ) )
- yes that's how i installed drivers from beginning but later i used back port version for same version like in Helium I just installed too many times on helium and honestly don't remember last version where i get it from//

but definitely i had same issue like in image in helium before !!

some delay before booting Helium but i think this is for another topic !

This is a waste of time unless you answer some questions!

marius_ss · 2020-05-13 18:22:32

I think I answered all your questions !!!

How did you install? = like usually <sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver>

Is your system still using the default nouveau driver? = NO its using nvidia(check screenshot for details !!!)
Is your hardware an optimus laptop (which will need setting up for nvidia)? NO its a desktop PC
