apt --no-install-recommends install nvidia-driver nvidia-cudo-mps nvidia-opencl-common nvidia-opencl-icd

and/or any other parts you need without the metapackages that pull in nvidia-persistenced.

when i install "nvidia-driver" it goes through (--no-install-recommends) but afterwards no cuda , no opencl??

when install "nvidia-driver-full" it stops because "nvidia-driver-full" depends on "nvidia-persistenced"?

It's there in Debian and it's ultimately upstream to Nvidia and dates back to its original release in 2014. I just suppose I'm too lazy to try and find out how to get them to fix it. Though I'm rather surprised it hasn't been picked up and sorted by someone who is more fluent in bug reporting than I am.

Maybe we need to reopen this bug again? But I don't feel comfortable with Devuan bug system... (that's why I've posted here) sad

Otherwise it is has not purpose and  you can simply delete it.

It used to be that the problem with it was it fell over if you already had it running already, because it didn't clean up after itself.
This was a bug that has been there since it was originally written, back in 2014, and never officially cured.

If deleting doesn't work and you actually need it for CUDA then back back in 2020 I did create a patched version that sorted this out. See

Is there any way I can remove only nvidia-persistenced without a driver being removed? Or I need to remove all and then reinstall it without recommended things?

You don't need it. If I remember correctly, it stores some settings or data between reboots.

sudo apt --no-install-recommends install <whatever>

See: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=24694#p24694 and the rest of the thread.

I seem to recall that nvidia-persistenced is a *suggested* package, not sure.

Best,

A.

It appears after each apt upgrade operation, very inconvenient.

Steps:
1. Install NVIDIA Drivers:
  sudo apt install -y build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) dkms
  sudo reboot
  sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-dkms
>> Errors:
nvidia-persistenced
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
  sudo reboot

2. Do upgrade packets:
  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
>>  nvidia-persistenced
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Desktop Environment became unavailable during next reboot!
Steps for a temporary fix:
  ps -ef | grep -E '[n]vidia-persistenced' || true
  sudo kill -TERM xxxx
  sudo chown -R nvpd:nvpd /run/nvidia-persistenced
  sudo chmod 0755 /run/nvidia-persistenced
  sudo rm -f /run/nvidia-persistenced/*
  sudo /etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced start
If Desktop Environment became unavailable:
  sudo apt install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)

I'm using last Devuan with SysVinit. Standart NVIDIA 1060 card (530 driver).
p.s. All other things are doing well, I'm very happy with Devuan guys, thank you a lot! :-)
