nouveau.noaccel=1 kernel parameter needed with upgrade to Debian Bullseye
My computer has an old nVidia MCP61 chipset which requires the Linux kernel parameter nouveau.noaccel=1 when using the open source nVidia nouveau driver together with the MATE graphic environment. However, when I had Debian Buster, I could do without this parameter if I switched to GNOME.
After upgrading to Debian Bullseye, I now have to use this parameter again, even with GNOME. Therefore, I can no longer have GPU acceleration with Debian. Is this a regression with a recurring bug after Debian released Bullseye? Any solution to this problem? |
Which display driver are you using? You might need to switch. See this driver primer.
I run the modesetting DIX display driver with TDE: Code:
# cat /proc/cmdline |
Do you mean Trinity Desktop Environment mrmazda? How do you change modesetting from unloaded to loaded and why would it be necessary with Bullseye and not Buster?
Code:
$ cat /proc/cmdline |

Thanks HappyTux. I don't know why I have the wrong kernel. I do have Bullseye though:
Code:
$ lsb_release -a Code:
# sed -i 's/buster/bullseye/g' /etc/apt/sources.list |

mrmazda I want to keep the nouveau driver since I tend to prefer open-source drivers. In any case it worked well on Buster and I wonder why it shouldn't on Bullseye.

I'd like to know more about this old kernel.
@no-windose, please show us: Code:
dpkg-query -S vmlinuz |
HappyTux: I don't know why I am still booting on kernel 4.9 after upgrading to Bullseye.
Code:
# uname -r Code:
# apt install linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64 Code:
# aptitude search linux-image | grep ^i Code:
# dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image Why can't I have kernel 5.10 and what should I do? ondoho: Here is the output of dpkg-query -S vmlinuz: Code:
# dpkg-query -S vmlinuz |
That is strange you boot from an uninstalled kernel or I thought that is what the purge meant. Only thing to do is answer the question with a yes when it asks to remove the running kernel. Now I would have backed up my home directory to keep the setting in it for restoration. This if it fails to boot and a re-install is necessary, I would have fresh install media for the Debian 11 on hand to, as it will guarantee a proper install with the latest kernel used.

Thanks HappyTux. This is strange indeed. Could this mean that I have been hacked? I have noticed for a while that apt update && apt upgrade doesn't and didn't install any upgrade at all, even before I moved from Buster to Bullseye. How could I find out if I have been hacked before re-installing and loosing all trace of such a possible hack?
