Backports kernel and stable nvidia driver, that doesn't work very well. Even on debian too.

Solved today with new Nvidia package 535.216.01-1~deb12u1

Ok with kernel 6.11.5 bpo!

Thank you package maintainer!

I have had similar problems... and sometimes an update/upgrade doesn't fix it.

I remember one instance and I so was happy I still had the older version to fall back on untill it seemed to sort it's self out, although I did skip that failed combination (of kernel ver and nvidia blob).

I might be able to run Nvidia 550.x or up, but haven't tested it yet.

the version 535.xx... is quite old in comparison to what I am using...

file:///home/glenn/local/archive/source/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-560.35.03.run

with kernel...

glenn@GamesBox ~ $ uname -a
Linux GamesBox 6.10.6+bpo-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.10.6-1~bpo12+1 (2024-08-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux

ok, I'm not using dkms, but maybe that highlights a solution.

To install the nvidia .run file you need build-essentials, kernel headers and kernel headers-common, and make sure you have gcc12

I hope this helps.

I have these installed on my main gamesbox, although I do look for and install any nvidia upgrade when I install a new kernel (linux-image).

Heads up - Nvidia 535.183.06-1 and backported kernel 6.10.xxx seems not be working. It is indicated here:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=430639
and seems to be a dkms/Nvidia build problem.

The build log (/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/535.183.01/build/make.log) partly translated:

make[3]: *** [/usr/src/linux-headers-6.10.6+bpo-common/Makefile:1959: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/535.183.01/build] Error 2

With the earlier 6.9.7 bpo all is well. So it's no problem.

It is good to configure Grub to always use the last saved kernel, instead of the newest last installed one. Saves some headaches.
