Well when trying to run Starfield it told me my card wasn't good enough so I went back to Windows to play it lol, so it installs the driver but I don't think it actually recognises it if that makes sense?

I would like to say yes about swapping drivers, however I don't get that option.

So trying to install this again

Code: Select all

                  **** COMMODORE OS VISION V2.0 (Beta 3) ****

               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            31Gi       1.4Gi        26Gi        87Mi       3.0Gi        29Gi
Swap:          8.0Gi          0B       8.0Gi

READY.
nvidia-settings

ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded


ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

This is far too stressful for me *SIGH*

I agree with Linus. :evil:
Could they make it harder?
Let's see how we fare with Commodore OS 3. Coming soon-ish.

Have you looked at the stuff under https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers?
Note: COS2 is Debian Bullseye under the hood. COS3 will be Debian Bookworm.

I also agree with Linus, from what I've read of numerous people with the same problem it's possible it's to do with safe boot being on but I don't really get it I needed it off just to install the OS in the first place. Only time it is on is when I boot to Windows 10 otherwise it is off.

Just had another look at that site, I will attempt the Unstable "SID" maybe have more luck with it, hmmm seems to continue to install 4.70 when it should be installing Version_535.183.01? I'm going to guess adding # in /etc/apt/sources.list blacklists the line? Didn't help, I even decided to remove everything from the sources.list (obviously saved them elsewhere to readd them back if needed) and use only the "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free non-free-firmware" but to no avail
