loaded: modesetting,nvidia

unloaded: fbdev,nouveau,vesa

KDE info center seems to be incorrect.

How can I determine what driver is being used ? Is there any other command?

Re: Install problems in Dell precision with Nvidia

Try to run "nvidia-settings" from the main menu, if it sees your NVidia card the driver is in use.

Yes, the nvidia-settings is loaded and I think that is in use. Thank you very much. Although, the minor glitches with the mouse clicks remain and I think that is probably a KDE 6 problem or a compositor problem. I will have a look later. Thank you again.

... minor glitches with the mouse clicks  ...

We can't reproduce this issue. First, you should run "htop" in terminal and check if your system is overloaded for some reason. We would also try another mouse. If the issue persists, it would be better to open another topic.

Re: Install problems in Dell precision with Nvidia

Yes, it looks like you are experiencing the Debian bug https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bin/b … ug=1107887 . Unfortunately we have no fix or workaround at the moment. You could try to install updated driver directly from Nvidia resources, read:

Hence, should I use the following commands?

sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64 build-essential dkms

sudo apt install nvidia-driver

sudo dkms autoinstall

sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

We are not sure if this will solve the problem, but you can try it.

Also, I have found the following github

https://github.com/devleonardoamaral/de … -installer

that offers a full automatic installation
I will use it later and I will report the results

Here are the steps for anyone has the same problems
1) wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/c … -1_all.deb
2) sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
3) sudo apt-get update
4)  sudo apt install cuda-drivers

Also, I had to remove the free drivers of nvidia before the previous steps

Thank you very much again
