Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Hello !
I'm a long time user of Linux Mint Debian. Most things run fine, and the OS is the fastest and simplest I've been using.
There's one thing that I'd like to get right : I'd like to have Nvidia drivers working, so that I can have better performance watching 60 fps videos on youtube in full HD, possibility to use ultra-HD from time to time (it lags even with the Nvidia GPU), and the possibility to run Deep Learning Neural Network software on the GPU.
My problem is that as soon as I install nvidia drivers and reboot, I get a message saying that Cinnamon has crashed and is running in safe mode (the exact message is in french).
It works in safe mode, but that's not fun.
I also tried the software that enables to render the Nvidia pictures through the intel driver (Bumblebee or Optimus or something like that). It works but it is of no use for Youtube video : as the final rendering is done through Intel's display hardware, it lags while displaying full HD videos in 60 fps.
I'm currently in safe mode with the latest nvidia driver installed and reconfigured (I've got a backup of my system at hand if no solution can be found).
What information should I post ?

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Try first to deinstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau AFTER(!) nvidia-driver installation (this is the dafault open source driver for nvidia which might be still interacting).
And a hint "for" stuttering videos (even if nvidia-driver is running correctly): Open Firefox, write about:config in the url-bar and then search for layers.acceleration.force-enabled -> set it toTRUE.

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Thank you for the hints.
I restarted from the system backup of yesterday, without the nvidia drivers.
I have looked at the Firefox config panel, and before even activating the option, I noticed that layers.acceleration.disabled was manually set to FALSE.
I set it back to TRUE, and it helps !
This video became perfectly fluid in 1920x1080 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyg6KUoptcM
However, that one is not : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj_gy73JbyM
Then, I installed nvidia-driver again.
I uninstalled Xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
I rebooted.
The problem is the same : "Cinnamon has just crashed (the actual message is in french).
Cinnamon is running in recovery mode or whatever it is called in English.
The second video is now fluid, but with a lot of tearing. I suppose that overlay is not active when Cinnamon runs in recovery mode.

OK, how about www.deepl.com - so you can speak perfect German, English or whatever you want - so tell us which error message is displayed.

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Disable Secure Boot in BIOS. if you haven't already. It worked for me.
If your query has been resolved, edit your first post and add [SOLVED] to the subject line.
If you found a solution on your own please post it.

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Thanks for the hint. I don't have a secure boot option in my motherboard setup.
I have a fast boot option, though, and also an UEFI / Legacy boot option, but my Linux won't boot in UEFI, only in Legacy.
I'll try to mess with these options next time I install the drivers (currently, I have again restored the system partition to remove the drivers).

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Hi,
I have reinstalled the Nvidia-driver package after the new version of Cinnamon was installed. The problem is still here.
I disabled the Fast Boot option in the motherboard setup, still KO.
I uninstalled the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package with the application manager, still KO.
I switched the mobo boot mode to UEFI / Fast boot enabled -> the computer doesn't boot, it goes directly in the mobo setup.
UEFI, fast boot disabled -> same as above
UEFI with CSM, fast boot -> same as above
UEFI with CSM, no fast boot -> same as above
The error message is
Cinnamon vient de planter, vous utilisez actuellement le mode de secours. Voulez-vous redémarrer Cinnamon ? Oui / Non
In English :
Cinnamon has just crashed, you are currently using the rescue mode. Do you want to restart Cinnamon ? Yes / No.
If I click yes, the message is displayed again immediately. If I click no, Cinnamon runs in rescue mode.
Here are the current system information :

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
By the way, the system information says that it is a desktop, but this is wrong. It is a laptop.

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Did you follow the Debian Nvidia Wiki?; https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... Stretch.22
Worked for me with both the main 4.9 and the backport 4.19 kernel, no problems

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
I think that I did, in the past. I the sutiation above, I have installed the nvidia-driver from the application manager.Tenebris_Umbra wrote: ⤴Sun Aug 11, 2019 6:49 pm Did you follow the Debian Nvidia Wiki?; https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... Stretch.22
But there are some news.
In order to give it a try, I restored the system without any nvidia driver, and followed the instructions on the Debian Nvidia Wiki.
I added the Stretch backports in the /etc/apt/sources.list file (it was empty)
I type the command apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's/[^-]*-[^-]*-//')
-> Among the answers was the message "linux-headers-amd64 is already the newest version (4.9+80+deb9u7)"
Then ran
apt-get update
apt-get install -t stretch-backports nvidia-driver
Then I rebooted the system in order to enable the blacklist of "nouveau".
New behaviour : Cinnamon doesn't crash anymore !
The new thing : the nvidia driver is no more version 390, but version 418.

I went to Firefox and set the layers.aceleration.force-enabled to True.
No more tearing, but still judder. Is the Nvidia driver activated at all ? Everything looks the same as without the driver.
In the above we can see that there is no more the part Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: modesetting FAILED: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
Now it is
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: modesetting,nouveau,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
Indeed, the driver is inactive.
I then followed the instructions for the 340 driver and created an Xorg server configuration file. There was none ! I ran
apt-get install -t stretch-backports nvidia-xconfig
It created a new file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I restarted the system and...
After the grub and the Linux logo, all I got was a black screen with a blinking cursor ! (same behaviour as old LMDE 2, by the way).
I pressed ctrl-alt-F2 and got a console. I typed sudo init 5 in order to start the Linux GUI. And I went back to the black screen with the blinking cursor.
I used a USB key to boot a Linux live session and I deleted all the text in the file xorg.conf, I resterted.
Now I'm back in Linux, with drivers 418 installed, but inactive.

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
you'll need to purge nvidia completely, you have mixed drivers from 390-480 also nvidia-xconfig is deprecated there is no more nvidia-xconfig but if you uninstalled the nouveau drivers you'll need to install it again then start the install process again. or maybe you can just completely remove the 390 parts with synaptic, and delete your /etc/x11/xorg.confPio2001 wrote: ⤴Mon Aug 12, 2019 4:59 am Trytip, here are the results of the commands :

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Hi,
I restarted from a system backup without the nvidia drivers.
I unistalled all the nvidia packages that I could find using both the software manager and the synaptic manager.
Then I installed the nvidia-driver v 418 from the backports repository.
The result is the same as before : the installation was successful, but the OS looks like it is still running the Intel integrated graphics GPU instead of the Nvidia GTX860. At leas that's what is written in the system information window :
The system information says (the information about the GPU used is not present in this output) :
dpkg -l nvidia* says :
And dkms status says
Since you say that there is no more nvidia-xconfig, I didn't get further.

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
maybe do a apt-get purge nvidia*
then on step 3; try apt-get install -t stretch-backports nvidia-driver 390*
then on step 3; try apt-get install -t stretch-backports nvidia-driver 390*
Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
EDIT : I wrote the below message before reading yours, Tenebris_Umbra, I'll try your suggestion in the next days if I have the time.
I was planning to pause my trials at installing the nvidia drivers for a while.
I don't know if the last trial was successful or not, but since there was no improvement (the judder was worse, while the computer was hotter, with the fans running wild), it doesn't seem to work.
Here's the history of my trials so far :
LMDE 1 : the nvidia-detect utility pretends that there is no Nvidia hardware in the computer.
LMDE 2 : the nvidia-detect utility recognizes the hardware, but both the 304 and 340 drivers lead to a black screen with blinking cursor when Linux starts. All the solutions avalable on the web fail.
LMDE 3 : same thing (as far as I remember).
LMDE 3 with Cinnamon 4.0.10 : with both v340 (AFAIR) and v390 drivers, Linux starts, but Cinnamon crashes. Then, the Nvidia GPU works, but with Cinnamon running in rescue mode.
LMDE 3 with Cinnamon 4.2.3 with drivers v390 : same thing
LMDE 3 with Cinnamon 4.2.3 with drivers v418 : installs and runs smoothly, but bad video performances, system information pretending that Intel Integrated graphics is running.
LMDE 3 with Cinnamon 4.2.3 with drivers v418 with tweaked xorg.conf file (nonsense according to Trytip) : black screen with blinking cursor when Linux starts.
Thanks to everyone for trying to help. I need to pause the experimentation for some time.

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Just noticed you have a dual gpu, once you install nvidia-setting, under profile or prime profiles is an option to switch between Intel and NVIDIA

Re: Cinnamon crashes with Nvidia drivers
Hi,
I have purged all the Nvidia packages thanks to your tip.
Then I installed the 418 driver again. I rebooted.
Then I installed Nvidia-settings. But when I run it, I get the following message : If I click on Valider, I only have the two items that you can see in the menu.
So I installed nvidia-xconfig and ran it. Then I rebooted (I don't know how to restart the X server)... and I got the black screen with the blinking cursor. I had to restore the system once again.
I'm giving up. Nvidia drivers are not meant to work with my system.
