Hi all,
I have recently installed Debian 12, KDE Plasma on my desktop pc, coming from windows 10.
I haven’t yet messed with any drivers, everything seemed to run just fine. Until i noticed that after 1 or more hours just browsing or watching a streaming video, my desktop pc starts to rattle as if it is suddenly hard at work, the mouse cursor becomes unresponsive, and a minute later it doesn’t move at all and the only thing left is to shut down with the power button.
So, i’m pretty sure nothing is suddenly wrong with fans or CPU temperature or whatnot, but maybe a Nvidia driver should be installed? Can i just follow Debians advice here?
Do you need additional info?
In what way doesn’t this work? It will be more complicated if you have secure boot enabled or are using X11.
The Debian wiki article has all the steps: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Debian_12_.22Bookworm.22
And I hope you get better soon. Covid sucks donkey balls.
I don’t have secure boot enabled and am using Wayland. It doesn’t work in the sense that reboot doesn’t solve the conflict. For instance, when trying to install software through cli, i get a: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run sudo dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem. When i do that, the same popup about the conflict pops up. (And installing graphically trough Discover gives a ‘cannot obtain lock’ error. Thank you for the link, but that is the link i mentioned - and followed - in my post :-) Covid; yes, it was my first time and every bit as awful as i heard from people
