Sorry but with the next line:
cp /boot/conf*  ~/src/linux/.config

I have the error: ".config is not a directory" and I must step this. After I finish all the others steps all is OK but the ~/src directory is empty. It's ok?

That error means you have more than one config* file in /boot, so the shell doesn't know which to use. You'll want to use something like:

cp /boot/config-4.9.0-7-amd64 ~/src/linux/.config

That version is the correct one for my ascii installations. You need the version that matches your current kernel, which you can see by typing:

uname -a

If the kernel is the issue, maybe you should just install the 4.17 kernel from ascii-backports. You might have to reinstall the nvidia driver, but that shouldn't be a problem.
