I try to install Parrot OS on an old windows PC that has GPU of Nvidia GeForce 710.
When I boot it in the default mode, It seems like it renders but then I get an error saying:
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM [DRM/000000001: kmsOutp] [HDMI head:0 enable: 1 max_ac_packet:15 ...
Then, I tried to boot while selecting disable nouveau and nvidia GPU and it boots ok.
Later, I tried to do:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver
But I got an error saying: "The system has a graphic card which is no longer handled by NVIDIA driver..."
I tried to download manually the driver and install it (had to stop and start lightdm for it) but I got errors.
Currently, I'm stuck with no
nvidia
and nouveau
which makes the resolution huge.
When I try to use xrandr
, it keeps failing. I tried to use cvt to add a new resolution but it won't add.
How can I continue here? I feel like I'm completely stuck.
Thank you!
**SOLUTION:**
So after a while the following solution did the thing:
1. Make sure to add nouveau to blacklist-nouveau.conf.
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
2. sudo apt install nvidia-tesla-470-driver
.
