So once the installation is complete and I update everything and reboot, I quite literally get nothing, it gets to a certain point in the boot sequence and just stops. Ive checked around to see if others have had this issue and it seems rather prominent, unfortunately I cant seem to find any 100 percent fixes to the issue!
I have the same laptop as you and it works using Tiger's tutorial.
With a fresh install, immediately blacklist nouveau with this step:
Make sure to do an update and upgrade, reboot. After rebooting get the header files for your kernelCode:echo -e "blacklist nouveau\noptions nouveau modeset=0\nalias nouveau off" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
Then continue to install as per Tiger's tutorial.Code:apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Note that lspci will give you output like this: 01:00.0
Running the query to get the bus ID will give you this output: 1:0:0
The second query is the proper format for the xorg.conf file.
TiGER511 thanks for a great tutorial!! I do have one question though.. after installing the kernel, nvidia creates a nvidia-blacklists-nouveau.conf just blacklisting nouveau.. Does this conf file replace the one we created with the echo statement? If so, can we delete the manually created conf file since nvidia has created its own?
Also, I am not sure I totally understand how this conf file is invoked? we created it, put the code in, then ran the sed command.. How is the sed command tied to the conf file?
Again thanks it is working for me !
Hi there i have NVIDIA GTX 860M and i was using nvidia smoothly until and unless i updated it last week. Usually i always update it but never got any problem but this time it got stuck after rebooting.
So after that i finally decided to uninstall the driver and then to start installing it with scratch. Everything was going smooth and then i got stuck at 5th step as i can see other people are also having the same problem.
when i ran this command it throws this error:
i was installing nvidia via apt-get. Any solution for this please?Quote:
nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info | grep 'BusID : ' | cut -d ' ' -f6
ERROR: Unable to query GPU information
Thanks for the reply but i forgot to mention that this command is not working for me throwing some error:
So i already tried that solution but no luck:(Quote:
apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
