AVL-MXE 21: Warning on nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver update

#1 Post by seriousness »

Hello,

during the update to 390.154-1~mx21+1 , I got this warning:

Code: Select all

update-alternatives: Warnung: Neuinstallation der Alternative /usr/lib/nvidia/legacy-390xx ist erzwungen, weil Linkgruppe nvidia defekt ist
Is there something broken? What are all the nvidia--* links in /etc/alternatives/ good for?

It's a warning, not an error--and is apparently quite common. We uploaded the newer driver because we needed the new one for the 5.19 kernels, and AVL users were already installing the 5.19 Liquorix kernels and the Nvidia drivers were failing to build.

Is the new driver working?

Yes, it works fine with Liquorix 5.19 - thanx a lot!

On my Ubuntu Studio 22.04 System, I use the same nvidia driver and it is not known to update-alternatives - do some people have different versions installed and need to choose between them?
