(SOLVED) MX-18 fresh installation - CPU 100% ????

No error !! It is a blank screen.
I don't know if I have to do something with nvidia drivers I have already installed with 4.19 !

Ah sorry i do not have a system with an nvidia adapter anymore.

I thought once you have it in place it should automatically install for kernels you add but i am not sure.

You could try (perhaps from a text/console session <Ctrl><Alt><F1>) to rename the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file the nvidia driver uses, then reboot under the new kernel.
If you then get to the graphical desktop you would probably be using the nouveau driver and could decide to re-install the proprietary driver under the debian kernel if you need it.

installing from MX-PI 's kernel area should have rebuilt the nvidia driver if it was installed with our nvidia-driver tool.

try this:

Code: Select all

dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms

and post the output.

Thank you all for your replies.
I tried "sudo ddm-mx -p nvidia" and the nvidia drivers uninstalled successfully.
After this , I could boot with the DEBIAN kernel and my system seems ok now.
Best regards.

Please add {Solved} to the title of your first post

You should also be able to reinstall the Nvidia drivers on the 4.9 kernel, as apparently they were not rebuilt automatically when you reinstalled.

Does the 4.9 kernel enable the CPU speed scaling now?
