Could be something related to older hardware that they might have changed since the OP has a similar problem...

5.0.0 net and desk installs are gone but live installs are still 5.0.0 so i could use that...

Anyways thanx for your help.

Do you have a module plugged in ?

Not sure,don't know what one looks like,need to check the board display in bios.

Turning off Legacy is one way to ensure it boots and install in UEFI.

Tried and didn't help. Changed to defaults and defaults has uefi/bios. Also i installed Devuan 5.0.0 using those settings.

What can could cause 5.0.1 not to work when 5.0.0 worked?

Ancient or not something once worked and now doesn't,especially since devuan is a debian fork and the latest debian works fine unless i'm missing something
Also it supports tpm since it has a connector for the module.
Updated firmware already and still didn't work.

Hi

Hardware:
mb: msi h97 gaming 3
cpu: intel i7 4970
gpu: msi nvidia 1050 ti

Having the same problem as Areulos with Daedalus 5.0.1 uefi install. Mbr/bios install loads fine

Net-install uefi doesn't boot,just goes to black screen after being selected in boot menu and hangs
Desk-install uefi seems to work but i'm having x-server fails to start but i'll look into that later.

Used to run Daedalus 5.0.0 uefi and installed debian uefi (using now) with everything booting normally

Bios doesn't show a secure boot option and idk how to get it to show.

Using uefi+legacy

used rufus and gdisk+dd,both formatted for gpt

#5 Re: Installation » How to install nvidia drivers in daedalus? » 2025-10-01 20:17:22

Here's my method for installing nvidia drivers using the drivers taken from the website.
And since the drivers come straight from the site,it should always be the latest.
Also no auto update but that can be scripted.
Note: quote marks (") are used for clarity,only run the commands inside them

"sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386"
(enables 32-bit part of nvidia install and is important to enable 32-bit functionality)

"sudo apt-get install linux-headers-amd64"
(updating this after installing drivers from the website WILL AND I MEAN WILL BREAK your system and you'll need to reinstall the drivers again)
P.S if your dm (desktop manager) fails after you updated something (eg. lightdm fails to work,debian system), then you most likely updated "linux-headers-amd64" and will have to re-install graphics drivers or unblacklist nouveau (which would have been done by the script if you accepted,which they do should the location of) and delete the old nvidia drivers)

"sudo apt-get install build-essential libglvnd-dev libglvnd-dev:i386 pkg-config"

"sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf"

open nano:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
(installer does this automatically if you accept,still keeping it in here)

"sudo update-initramfs -u"

"sudo update-rc.d slim disable"
(will put you into text mode)
(using sysVinit,not sure what the commands for openrc and runit are,but the goal is to disable the dm )

"sudo reboot"

run install script/install drivers (example: " ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-580.95.05.run or bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-580.95.05.run")

"sudo update-rc.d slim enable"

"sudo reboot"

This method should work on all debian-based systems from deb 11 onwards. Should be guaranteed to work on sysV and systemd and most likely should work with other init systems as well as long as the respective init commands are used.

Sorry the bad formatting and tone.
