nVidia driver installs on Debian 3.16 but not Liquorix 3.16-7
Here is the log. I couldn't find an attach option and the code boxes don't use scroll bars so this is gonna be a loooooooooooong post.
EDIT: Well, that didn't work either. Pastebin: pastebin.com/QSveRNBE Back to top |

I think the 3.16 kernel package for liquorix was based off of a really old kernel version from Siduction. If you want to use DKMS in debian without any issues, you'll need to upgrade to kernel 3.17 or higher.
Version 3.17 is in the past repository and 3.18 is in the current main repository. Back to top |

I was using sgfxi without DKMS.

Right, I missed that.
However, you pointed out that the Debian 3.16 kernel can load the nvidia module but the Liquorix kernel cannot. I would suggest upgrading to the latest kernel on the main repository (currently 3.18.2), or installing the latest from the past repository (3.17.7). Back to top |

I'm suspecting there is something else going on, everything works until it tries to actually load the module, which seems to build fine.
Make sure to note any possible irregular features of your system. This type of failure however should be dealt with on nvidia forums I think: devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/ unless it's truly specific to liquorix, but even then it may be some corner case that is a bug in nvidia that only liquorix triggers. Post: inxi -bplxxx as well so we can confirm what you are actually running Back to top |
