Uh oh. Failed to identify your Debian suite.

So, I can’t install nvidia drivers, cause on the boot sequence, there’s a black screen

Thanks

As far as I know the gpu has fallen out of legacy support, not a lot you can do about it.

Ha… it’s bad.

I’ll try to install the .run file via nvidia website. I’ll see…

Is there an another solution. The same computer has Ubuntu OS, and as far as I know :), it was working.

Thanks.
