do not get nVIDIA activated

[pixel24]

Hi@all,

I have the problem that I cannot activate the nVIDIA driver on an HP workstation with nVIDIA Quadro Pro card.

The following card is installed:

Code: Select all

lspci -nnk | grep -i "VGA\|'Kern'\|3D\|Display" -A2
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL [Quadro P620] [10de:1cb6] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL [Quadro P620] [10de:1264]
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

I installed the driver via the driver management and then rebooted. The driver management shows that version 460 from nVIDIA is active.

However, when starting Cinamon, a message appears: "Please check your graphics card ..... without hardware acceleration ....".

I have already switched back to the open source driver, removed all nvidia packages with "apt purge" and tried again. Same result.

The following nVIDIA packages are installed:

Code: Select all

I do not have this problem on the other HP workstations with QuadroPro cards.

Does anyone have a tip for me as to what the problem could be?
