How to install

Troubleshooting common issues

• Black screen after boot - Disable Wayland or ensure Xorg is in use for older GPUs. Edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and set WaylandEnable=false, then reboot.
• Nouveau conflict - Create /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf with: blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 Then run: sudo update-initramfs -u and reboot.
• Secure Boot blocks driver - Either disable Secure Boot in firmware or enroll the DKMS module signing key using mokutil, then reboot and enroll the key.
• DKMS build fails - Ensure headers match your kernel: sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms, then reinstall nvidia-driver.
• Older GPUs (legacy) - Some cards require legacy packages (e.g., nvidia-legacy-390xx). Check Debian wiki for your GPU ID and install the matching legacy package.
• Hybrid laptops - Use prime-select: sudo prime-select nvidia or sudo prime-select on-demand, then reboot.

FAQ

Which package should I install for debian nvidia drivers?
On supported releases, use the meta-package nvidia-driver. It pulls the correct kernel modules and userspace libraries for Video Adapters.

Do I need to remove Nouveau first?
The Debian installer usually handles blacklisting automatically. If not, manually blacklist Nouveau and update initramfs as shown above.

How do I install on ?
Enable non-free components in your APT sources, run sudo apt update, then sudo apt install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree, and reboot.

Can I use upstream NVIDIA .run instead of Debian packages?
Yes, but Debian packages are easier to maintain across kernel updates. Use the .run only if you need a very specific build.

Will this work for NVIDIA Graphics Driver for Debian GPUs on laptops?
Yes. For Optimus systems, install nvidia-prime and choose performance or on-demand mode as needed.
