That's good news. On another topic, I am working at how to install the NVIDIA vendor driver in Stretch-Live from its .run installer file. Trying to install nvidia through the repo was a disaster. Has this been discussed before? If not, I will post a recipe. |

It was similar to stretchy's report on page 43. |

How to Install the NVIDIA Video Driver in Stretch-Live NVIDIA makes a variety of video cards and using them in Linux is a challenge. My NVIDIA machine loads the open-source nouveau driver - it works, but it's "blinky". There are two methods for installing a better driver. You might want to practise on a test setup first. Please report your own results. Thank you to anikin for helping with this. ------------------------ Method A: Debian has some pre-built driver packages that support many NVIDIA cards. 1. Open a terminal and run:
2a. Run the command: nvidia-detect 2b. It will recommend a driver for your card. Install it. For example:
3a. Reboot. 3b. To check that the driver has installed correctly, run: lspci -nnk | grep nvidia ----------------------- Upgrading the driver for a new kernel: If you install nvidia, then do a kernel upgrade, X will fail to start because of the driver's kernel mis-match. From the console, run:
Use the same method if you forget to load the headers first. ----------------------- Method B: This method installs the NVIDIA vendor driver from scratch. 1a. Run the command: lspci -nnk 1b. Identify the model name of your NVIDIA adapter and the current driver. 2a. Go here and locate the installer for your model. 2b. Look under Supported Products for detailed model lists. 2c. Download the .run installer file. Get the 32/64 bit version as needed. 3. As with Puppy, you need a devx and kernel-sources in order to compile the driver. You have two choices: a. Download and install them directly into your filesystem.
b. OR use apt2sfs to build a mini-devx squashfs module from the above packages. Activate it from the right-click menu. 4. Download and extract the "invidia.tar.gz" attached below. It contains two NVIDIA installer scripts: invidia32 and invidia64. 5a. Start with an empty folder in an ext partition. You can make it in /root if you have 250MB of space. 5b. Put the NVIDIA.run file and the invidia** script in this folder. 6. Open a terminal and run the script. With the 64bit version, do NOT install the OpenGL libs. Ignore any ERROR messages at the end. 7. Reboot. --------------------- Trouble-shooting: If X doesn't start (no screens found), run the following commands from the console prompt: 1. lspci -nnk | grep nvidia # is the nvidia driver loaded? 2. apt-get install nvidia-xconfig 3. nvidia-xconfig #there should be a message about making a new xorg.conf 4. startx -----------------------

With all due respect, it's done a little bit differently in Debian. First, make sure non-free is added to your sources list, something like:

Hi anikin: Could you confirm that this works in Stretch-Live? Because I attempted something like this and it failed. [Edit] I tried again using the anikin procedure and it worked. There were still some messages about missing files but they don't appear to be significant. I think that my original mistake was failing to install the driver package recommended by nvidia-detect. This method also needs:
Thanks. ------------------ I shortened the procedure down to this:
It worked and was faster. Have I lost anything by omitting the nvidia-kernel-dkms stuff? |

Thanks. The wiki also talks about running nvidia-config to create an Xorg config. I guess that I don't need to do that in Debian 9? Running lspci definitely shows that the nvidia driver has loaded. |

Here is a package of SANE scanner backends: 1. epkowa: the standard Epson driver from the vendor's Debian package but without the extra stuff. 2. pixma: the Canon driver from the new SANE v1.0.27 source. It supports more models than the current Stretch v1.0.25. 3. genesys: the SANE v1.0.27 driver for the Canon LiDE series of scanners. 4. xerox_mfp: an open-source substitute for the Samsung vendor scanner driver. I have combined them into one download with 32/64bit versions. http://www.mediafire.com/file/zp99bsrdxfod5wx/sane-backends-combo_1.0.27-1.tar.gz/file However, it CANNOT be installed via apt-get because it over-writes existing files. Instead do the following: a. Download the attached debbi script. b. Extract it to /usr/local/bin c. Run: debbi sane-backends-pixma-genesys-epkowa-xerox_1.0.27-1_xxxxx.deb ---------------------

Added to first post some links:
Any other suggestions ? @rcrsn51 Does the installing of the Nvidia driver work as expected after reboot ? I can't test, but I thought maybe it might be required to regenerate initrd and boot with that. (how it would be in a full install) EDIT: Package quick-remaster updated to v 1.1.3 with some improvements: - Added graphical progress bar (instead xterm window) - More safe because unmounting mount bind directories with "umount -l") Install with Synaptic or from terminal:

Yes, with both methods. Method A still gives the message "missing /boot/initrd.img...", but it doesn't appear to matter. |

Hi Fred: I updated unzipper here. Also, I am suddenly having problems running "apt-get update" in my 64bit version of Stretch-Live. Is this me or them? [Update] It's working now. Bill |
