Running Bookworm, Plasma DE if that’s relevant.
Background: I’m learning here. Decent amount of coding and embedded hardware experience but I’m usually missing one or two key concepts with this stuff.
Getting a box running, and wrestling with NVIDIA drivers. I successfully installed the driver (I think), but now lightdm isn’t working. From what I read it appears there’s a common issue around a race condition where lightdm tries to fire up before the drivers ready, so I need to add the nvidia driver to initramfs.
Can anyone give me some pointers? Specifically while I get the above:
- I’m not sure what modules need to be added and if they’re named something specific for debian vs other distros
- The correct file to modify
- The correct format/syntax that needs to be added
I’ve found lots of examples, just none specific to debian, and screwing around at this level I don’t want to bork something enough I need to do a bare install.
Thanks for any help!
