Well, I'm back. And I'm grateful for the reply. Sorry for the delay. Life.gaucho wrote: ↑19. Nov 2022, 23:29Hi, 8bit,eight.bit.al wrote: ↑11. Nov 2022, 16:02 I'm devastated I can't get NVIDIA drivers installed on this machine with Salix. This is my main computer and I would really like to run Salix on it. I've tried everything that can be found on the web pipes, including several threads on this forum.
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see you post anything about this issue. If you start a new thread with the model / specs of your Nvidia GPU and tell us the steps you followed, I bet that one of the Salix wizards here can help get it working ...
Did you try the instructions in the Salix Wiki?

Salix Wiki. "How to Install the Proprietary NVIDIA Driver."
The Nvidia Driver Downloads page is here:

On the Main Machine, it barely gets past loading the kernel before locking up.

But on the very same machine with a NVIDIA card; don't remember which one, I have a few. (They are all known to work with the latest stable NVIDIA Linux drivers.)
Edit: Quadro K2200
Of course I followed the WIKI, to the letter. https://docs.salixos.org/wiki/How_to_In ... DIA_driver
Step 7: Reboot, and repeat (run the installer again).
On the distro machine, at least I could get to a TTY and finish the install.
On the main machine, it barely got past the kernal loading before locking up. Step 7.
