It&#8217;s a full current distro. What could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/packaged-media.redd.it\/znkish8xjjcg1\/pb\/m2-res_266p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&amp;c=wh_ben_en&amp;var=sgpssan&amp;v=1&amp;e=1781049600&amp;s=54048d09fc11cfc6359cd112bcbd0e702b840205\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ancient AMD Athalon machine is humming along nicely trying to cure cancer, Ebola, and other nastiness. The next machine in the BOINC rack had been just using the pathetic Intel GPU from the motherboard under Debian 13 Mate. It&#8217;s an HP EliteDesk 800 G2. Has a gen-6 i7 and 24GB of RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I pulled an NVS 510 out of my spare parts drawer along with mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter cable. My KVM over there is USB and VGA. Plugged the monitor into the NVS 510.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I downloaded the antiX-26_x64-full ISO and dutifully burned both a DVD and a thumb drive. Why? You would be surprised just how much you can fix with distro packaging just by booting from a DVD instead of a thumb drive. I burned both of these on an MX Linux machine. Did not try <a href=\"https:\/\/rufus.ie\/en\/\">Rufus<\/a>. Rufus can fix a really bad ISO (UEFI only) ISO file.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rufus.ie\/pics\/screenshot2_en.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thumb drive had that problem.

This is the time honored method of changing the run level for a single boot. It works for Debian 13 because I had Debian 13 on this very machine. No love, with or without glove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn&#8217;t try <a href=\"https:\/\/unix.stackexchange.com\/questions\/90554\/how-to-boot-linux-to-command-line-mode-instead-of-gui\">the RHEL hack<\/a> for this because we are supposedly Debian based here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ever correct &lt;cough>&lt;cough>&lt;hack>&lt;hack> Google AI tells you to stop lightdm or slim, neither of which are there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should not surprise anyone that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/information-technology\/manjaro-2\/\">I just installed Manjaro<\/a>. I&#8217;m certain the antiX maintainers and fans will claim I should have known the super secret expert-friendly handshake to get to terminal mode. To that I say <strong>kernel parameters should <em>always<\/em> work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are an ocean of old Nvidia cards with perfectly functioning CUDA cores. Many non-technical people are looking for Linux distros to support them so they can have an old machine run BOINC. Some of these people are scientists and researchers who work for places that actually utilize BOINC to crunch numbers for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it stands right now, Manjaro is the viable distribution. Well, Arch should be too, just that most people cannot tolerate Arch. That&#8217;s why Manjaro got created, so there could be a <em>humane<\/em> version of Arch. Unless the non-geek users find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/information-technology\/manjaro-2\/\">this post<\/a> though, they probably won&#8217;t figure it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could I have poked around in their repos to find and possibly install the 470 driver? Probably. Here&#8217;s what decades in the field have taught me though. Distros that create an Nvidia installation program tend to never have the dependency logic correct in their packages. All of the dependency logic tends to be in that installer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/packages\/nvidia-390xx-dkms\">other Arch based distributions<\/a>. KaOS used to be a pain in the ass. Primarily because they use KDE and its forever corrupted forever consuming 100% of the CPU PIM database. CachyOS has <a href=\"https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/packages\/nvidia-390xx-dkms\">been reviewed here<\/a>. The fish shell will not be non-geek friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Linux distros in general need to drop this expert-friendly mindset. I&#8217;ve been around since we ran Linux on two 3.5 inch floppies. Despite getting GUI desktops, the kids never grew up. Despite all of the excrement I (correctly) hurl at Arch they have <a href=\"https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/packages\/nvidia-470xx-dkms\">patched 470 to work all the way up to 7.x kernels<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/packages\/nvidia-340xx\">340 driver is currently patched up to 6.15<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/packages\/nvidia-390xx-dkms\">390 driver has been patched all the way up to 7.x<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a market for a Linux distro that continues to patch, test, and accurately install nvidia 340, 390, and 470 drivers, keeping in mind bumblebee was <em>not<\/em> a good experiment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When something seems to good to be true, it usually is. antiX 26 had a spin that provides both the 5.10 kernel and the current kernel.

He quickly became a consultant and president of Logikal Solutions, a software consulting firm specializing in OpenVMS application and C++\\\/Qt touchscreen\\\/embedded Linux development. Early in his career he became involved in what is now called cross platform development. Given the dearth of useful books on the subject he ventured into the world of professional author in 1995 writing the first of the \\\"Zinc It!\\\" book series for John Gordon Burke Publisher, Inc. A decade later he released a massive (nearly 800 pages) tome \\\"The Minimum You Need to Know to Be an OpenVMS Application Developer\\\" which tried to encapsulate the essential skills gained over what was nearly a 20 year career at that point. From there \\\"The Minimum You Need to Know\\\" book series was born. Three years later he wrote his first novel \\\"Infinite Exposure\\\" which got much notice from people involved in the banking and financial security worlds. Some of the attacks predicted in that book have since come to pass. While it was not originally intended to be a trilogy, it became the first book of \\\"The Earth That Was\\\" trilogy: Infinite Exposure Lesedi - The Greatest Lie Ever Told John Smith - Last Known Survivor of the Microsoft Wars When he is not consulting Roland Hughes posts about technology and sometimes politics on his blog. He also has regularly scheduled Sunday posts appearing on the Interesting Authors blog.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/theminimumyouneedtoknow.com\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.logikalsolutions.com\\\/wordpress\\\/author\\\/seasoned_geek\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"How to still use nvidia340 or nvidia390 \u2013 Part 3 &#8211; Logikal Blog","description":"When something seems to good to be true, it usually is. antiX 26 had a spin that provides both the 5.10 kernel and the current kernel.

He quickly became a consultant and president of Logikal Solutions, a software consulting firm specializing in OpenVMS application and C++\/Qt touchscreen\/embedded Linux development. Early in his career he became involved in what is now called cross platform development. Given the dearth of useful books on the subject he ventured into the world of professional author in 1995 writing the first of the \"Zinc It!\" book series for John Gordon Burke Publisher, Inc. A decade later he released a massive (nearly 800 pages) tome \"The Minimum You Need to Know to Be an OpenVMS Application Developer\" which tried to encapsulate the essential skills gained over what was nearly a 20 year career at that point. From there \"The Minimum You Need to Know\" book series was born. Three years later he wrote his first novel \"Infinite Exposure\" which got much notice from people involved in the banking and financial security worlds. Some of the attacks predicted in that book have since come to pass. While it was not originally intended to be a trilogy, it became the first book of \"The Earth That Was\" trilogy: Infinite Exposure Lesedi - The Greatest Lie Ever Told John Smith - Last Known Survivor of the Microsoft Wars When he is not consulting Roland Hughes posts about technology and sometimes politics on his blog. He also has regularly scheduled Sunday posts appearing on the Interesting Authors blog.","sameAs":["https:\/\/theminimumyouneedtoknow.com"],"url":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/author\/seasoned_geek\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7774"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7799,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7774\/revisions\/7799"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
