Nvidia-smi shows no devices were found

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.

Some one help

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.

Also can you try downgrading your kernel and see if that works?

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.
