Re: [SOLVED] nVidia driver installation in Debian Buster Bare Minimum

Yeah, pretty good idea. You're missing a bunch of packages that'd be needed to get what passes for a working install. The project you've undertaken here is not what I'd suggest for someone relatively new to gnu/Linux. Would advise sticking a bk-mark into it and building up your nixish know how and skillz here with Bunsenlabs. You've got a kickarse minimal Debian(stable) based operating system, equally kickarse team of devs/maintainers and same for the support community. So would say earn your bones, pay your dues with BL and then come back to this project at a later date fellow nixer.

Re: [SOLVED] nVidia driver installation in Debian Buster Bare Minimum

^ I am considering leaving it for now

I had installed lightdm during my previous baremin installations few weeks back during this very same project. It was installed when nouveau was the driver. Before I leave this project temporarily, I'd like to install bare min once again with XFCE during installation and then install nvidia 304xx legacy driver. If it works, the only thing extra would be some xfce packages that I can uninstall or just live with. At least, it'll give me a system on which I can tweak around.

No complains about BL, been using it since Hydrogen. Just thought on embarking on a trial and error learning of linux with Debian bare min . I am sure it's hard but I am convinced it would have been far easier had it not been for my desktop using a legacy nvidia driver. The bare min installation was pretty much in a working condition with nouveau and I discovered a lot of things, especially with compositor.
