wanting to read it.

Hi, you might find what you need in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

hope this helps.

Hi, that shows the boot loading, not the installation of the driver.
When I installed the nvidia 340 driver, using sudo apt-get install nvidia-340, a lot of information passed by, and I want to read that. Is that saved to a log, when a driver is installed?

I do not have any such file

Yes, you are right. Sorry about that. Saddly if nvidia have a broken package that doesn't write a log file, it's tough luck.

The installer may not have permission to write to /var/log/...

There are other log files that contain most of the text that hits the screen, and that is what I was pointing towards.

dmesg, messages, and xorg.

you might run the installer again to see it there is a switch that writes the log, or

you could try to redirect the output text to a file, possibly like this...

running the installer with --help usually give some options.

It has been a while since I have had to run the installer manually,

since PCLinuxOS has the installer packaged and it runs from the package manager.

So I appologise in advance if this info is wrong.

all the best.
