Apt will then already tell him what is fact.

Actually I did download the file:

/media/10/DEBs/test-sid/dkms_2.8.4-3_all.deb

I did "$ cd /media/10/DEBs/test-sid/"
and I did run it locally, I will quote it this time:

The only thing I missed was the ./
And have used "apt" over dpkg for about a year now. Because of something I read. Do not recall what exactly, maybe for the same reason siduction mentions.

apt gets the file(s) and hands it over to dpkg for the install process.

^^This is what tells apt to install the locally available package when you are in the directory of the downloaded package.

The way you show it, apt does not take the locally stored package.
But, your Simultation ]:D shows something different(!):

Inst dkms (2.8.4-3 local-deb [all])

Therefore, you should try it, because here you get exactly the package you want and the kernel etc., are also updated.

jeffreyC · 2021-03-26 00:35:18

If you are using Thunar you can add a custom action to install downloaded deb files, like this one:

Install Deb Files

Install deb packages and dependencies with apt

x-terminal-emulator -e bash -c "sudo apt install %F; echo;read -n 1 -s -r -p 'press any key to close'"

Nice custom action but I prefer manual.

Please explain: "echo;read -n 1 -s -r -p"

Also no cd to file or "./%F"

When you right click on the file in Thunar to perform a custom action cd is already taken care of.

I did not invent this custom action, it is from MX Linux, but I think those are the command line switches that cause the terminal readout when the TCA installs the package.

What does he say to

apt install nvidia-driver --no-install-recommends

with the 386 packages ?

Sector11 · 2021-03-26 21:16:21

I have absolutely NO IDEA what is going on.

1. went to root

sudo su -

2. I removed i386 programs:

apt-get purge ".*:i386"

3. I removed i386 architecture - will reinstall printer drivers later.

dpkg --remove-architecture i386

4. dropped to tty2

sudo su -
apt install nvidia-driver

all looked good, no i386 packages.

Got the notice about conflicting nouveau driver & best way to deal with it was reboot. GREAT I thought!

Watched the process to the end, no errors.

5. [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F1]
6. OB menu - shutdown

Switched cable to video card

7. Rebooted
- BIOS Screen
- GRUB screen - Debian
8. tty1 asking for my login name | password
....

9. tty1 asking for my login name | password
....

10. tty1 asking for my login name | password
....
shut down .....
11. put graphics cable back on mobo graphic
- thinking: No nouveau driver - will need to reinstall
- OH JOY!!!!

12. REBOOTED <<<<<<<<

The nvidia driver is loaded:

driver: nvidia

You should disable the builtin graphics if you want to purely use the nvidia card, and plug in the monitor cable to the nvidia card. I have that same AMD chip in my system so I disabled onboard graphics via the BIOS.

^^You're going to destroy your whole system....

In my opinion, you always confuse the 386 packages with those that nvidia installs in addition. But the 386-nvidia packages are only meant for people who want to play crappy M$ games via wine for example.
In this sense 386 has nothing in common with 386 on your system here.

Assuming you haven't already undone everything, you're standing here now, and you should after updating Xorg you should reinstall the driver.
Note: Also this tutorial is already 8 years old and I have NO nvidia
Please change above to en

By the way, I need the exact name of your printer, because it can't be that there are only 386 packages for it.

That worked ... but I got three lines of errors at least 2 were BIOS ERRORS

I am on my: GeForce GT 710B card at the moment

How do I read the error logs of tty1 from tty2-7 ?

Because tty1 is my log in point.

Looks like "nouveau" is still there but "unloaded":

Graphics:  Device-1: NVIDIA GK208 [GeForce GT 710B] vendor: Gigabyte GK208B driver: nvidia v: 418.181.07 bus ID: 01:00.0 
           chip ID: 10de:128b 
           Display: tty server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa alternate: nv 
           compositor: compton resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz 
           OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GT 710/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 418.181.07 direct render: Yes

Then I found this:
EDIT: Just noticed that the code above from inxi says the "nouveau" driver is unloaded so this does not apply, but will leave it:

You need to unload the nouveau driver before you can load the nvidia driver. However, the nouveau driver is currently in use by the X-server, so it cannot be unloaded yet. You have to stop the X-server first (but don't just re-start it, as then it will use the nouveau driver again).
So in short:
stop X-server: sudo service lightdm stop
unload the nouveau driver: sudo rmmod nouveau
load the nvidia driver: sudo modprobe nvidia
start the X-server: sudo service lightdm start

You might be out-of-luck and the framebuffer for the console is locking the nouveau driver as well. In this case I haven't found a way to unload the driver at all...

Obviously 1 and 4 in my case can be eliminated.
Does everyone in the world use lightdm?

My feeling exactly ... I was willing to leave it alone. But still got replies.

So what I did - AFTER getting the proper dkms installed:

removed all i386 programs (just my printer drivers anyway)
- sudo apt purge ".*:i386"
got rid of i386 architecture
- sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386
dropped to tty2 and installed the nividia-driver
rebooted - have OOPS with card would not work
rebooted - with mobo graphics card
- sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
re-installed printer drivers
- /media/10/Brother_HL1110/hl1110cupswrapper-3.0.1-1a.i386.deb
- /media/10/Brother_HL1110/hl1110lpr-3.0.1-1a.i386.deb

In my opinion, you always confuse the 386 packages with those that nvidia installs in addition. But the 386-nvidia packages are only meant for people who want to play crappy M$ games via wine for example.
In this sense 386 has nothing in common with 386 on your system here.

Exactly why I removed i386 this time before installing nvidia-driver.
See above and the post above this one to DeepDayze

Assuming you haven't already undone everything, you're standing here now, and you should after updating Xorg you should reinstall the driver.
Note: Also this tutorial is already 8 years old and I have NO nvidia
Please change above to en
By the way, I need the exact name of your printer, because it can't be that there are only 386 packages for it.

Printer is Brother: HL1112 (South American designation for HL1110)

The debian package does not support this printer.

^^Now it is correct (you must read like this)

...
Display: tty server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa alternate: nv 

driver: nvidia
