Hello forum,
I have installed nvidia drivers on debian 12 i have an mx150 on my laptop, but nvidia-smi show no devices found. Is there any problem? How to resolve this?
i installed and reinstalled many times but still not working, i installed it via terminal using nvidia-driver and i also downloaded and installed the driver using the nvidia driver website
Here is the bug report file.
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (171.4 KB)
I have no idea if this will help you at all but I found errors and failed messages in the log you provided.
See if this link is of any help to you.
https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.04/README/chapter-08.html
Also can you try downgrading your kernel and see if that works?

My laptop has a GT 650M and an Intel integrated video card. The BusIDs are:
```…
$ lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M] (rev ff)
```
The OS is debian wheezy:
```
$ uname -a
Linux debian 3.12-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.12.9-1 (2014-02-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux
```
I've installed `bumblebee-nvidia` and `primus`, and added my account to the group `bumblebee`. Here is the output of `optirun -vvv glxgears`:

Also, no `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` is created. Any ideas to get the card run normally? Thank you.
**UPDATE**: has been solved by changing `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"` to `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1"` in `/etc/default/grub`. Can be closed.
Sorry but where do i change the kernel parameters (im new to linux)
ubuntu-drivers devices
whichever one is recommended, install that
for example
driver : nvidia-driver-418-server - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-535 - distro non-free recommended <—
driver ; nvidia-driver-470-server distro non-free
install using this command
sudo ubuntu-drivers install
if you want to install a specific version, use sudo apt-get
sudo apt-get install nvidia-drivers-525
FYI: the asnwers to these types of questions, you’ll often find at the linux ubuntu forums too.
