Nvidia Geforce GT 1030 drivers for Lithium?

Hi!

When running Debian 10 - Buster there was acctuly no problems installing the drivers for Nvidia 1030. But in Bunsenlabs the same drivers wont work.

Is there someone how can help me?

I realy like the look and the feeling of Bunsenlabs, but i would like for the drivers for the graphics card to work.

Maby someone can give me a instruction for the exact terminal commands to run?

Best regards

Re: Nvidia Geforce GT 1030 drivers for Lithium?

How do you know the driver doesn't work? Is it installed and running instead of nouveau?

Anyway, install and run nvidia-detect, then install the recommended driver.

sudo apt-get install nvidia-detect

Here is the output I get when running it:

$ nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GM204M [GeForce GTX 970M] [10de:1618] (rev ff)

Checking card:  NVIDIA Corporation GM204M [GeForce GTX 970M] (rev ff)
Your card is supported by the default drivers and legacy driver series 390.
It is recommended to install the
    nvidia-driver
package.

Then do

sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver

Follow any on-screen prompts to set it up and run instead of nouveau.

What drivers worked in Buster but not in Lithium?Was there som more difference maybe?

Acording to this old link: http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_ … ux-Drivers, you need to install Nvidias proprietory drivers.

Often when using drivers from debian repo, is it nessesary to use non fre backported drivers.
