Problem installing firmware-linux-nonfree on Debian
I got a second GPU (ASUS ENGTS450) that seems to work fine except it needs drivers. (at least that's what I gathered so far.)
I'm running the most recent release of Debian - Jessie. When booting up, the pc gives me this error http://i.imgur.com/nyvd0vt.png And doesn't progress any further. My sources.list looks like this http://i.imgur.com/FqmKQy1.png but after saving that and doing Code:
sudo apt-get update Code:
sudo apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated. Also a small question - if I were to re-install Debian right now since it's pretty fresh anyways so I don't care, will it auto-detect and download the needed drivers for the card? |
Hya,
I do not see any of your mistakes. Most probably, typo or hidden code. One workaround is, visit https://packages.debian.org/jessie/a...nfree/download and select one of them to directly download. Then dpkg -i firmware-linux-nonfree.....deb The answer for your small question would be "No". Clean install will not look for non-free/contrib repo. cheer |
