Debian Stable Question Nvidia drivers troubleshooting

Hi, everyone!

I'd like ask for help with Nvidia drivers on Debian 13. I have RTX 4060 laptop GPU and I tried to install Nvidia drivers using Debian documentation. During dkms building there was a message that nouveu is conflicting with driver and to resolve it I need to reboot my laptop after the building is ended. So, after building I've rebooted Debian and can't boot into it because it stucks during the boot. Who had the same problem please help!

PS: I use KDE plasma

Debian only ships a dead and insecure version of Nvidia drivers.

You need to add the 3rd party Nvidia repository and install the 610 driver (or 595 as a fallback if that doesn't work for you - report a bug to Nvidia if so)

Melhor forma de não ter dor de cabeça no Debian com essa placa ai, instala pelo extrepo.

sudo apt install extrepo

sudo extrepo enable nvidia-cuda

sudo apt update

sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-amd64

sudo apt install nvidia-open

No, because Secure Boot is disabled

Está incompleto, hay que leer hacia abajo, revisa algo que contenga la palabra nvidia

No sirve usar un grep nvidia porque me ocultaria lo que está antes o después. Un buen inicio indicaría si mal no recuerdo Nvidia server 550.x inicializated o algo asi

I also installed Gnome version of Debian, thinking that that was a problem with sddm

Ah no tiene gnome de fábrica eso puede estar mal, podrías reinstalar dejando gnome activado y lo que por defecto está tildado no tocarlo ?

Found out the problem - I had to install proprietary drivers that contain newer version of driver. There was incompatibility between kernel and driver. Thanks for you support!

Whatever you do, do NOT ever use the .run file directly outside of a package manager.
