Nvidia Settings does not open

Post by SomeMint »

Hello! In LMDE4 control panel there is a Nvidia settings icon that does not open. After install & boot I got a msg at the top about hardware acceleration not being turned on, and to check my drivers. I thought that might be the place, but, I don't know. I am using a HP G60 laptop model 247CL. Thanks for your help!

Could be the driver is not loading and as SMG suggested, we need a inxi to see. When installing Nvidia on lmde4, do not use the Nvidia-***.run drivers from Nvidia, but rather follow the Debian Nvidia guide >> https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... 2Buster.22
