[QUOTE="deeptho, post: 1143869, member: 215446"] Well, it iks strange that now you mention display problems as well (did you do that earlier?) In any that does not sound good. You could try and use my media_build which is on github. Unfortunately it is a combination of three things: 1. kernel version 2. version of media_build 3. type (nvidia or nouveau) and version of display drivers. For satesco, part of the solution was using the nouveau drivers. but something in ubuntu sometimes messes up some data in /lib/modules/`uname -r` in a way that cannot be fixed by the regular solution (removing some modules and installing others; depmod ...). I never found out the reason, and once the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ tree gets in this state, it stays "broken". The solution/workaround was something like 1. try to install the nouveaus drivers until they work 2. copy /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ and /boot/*`uname -r`* somewhere as a backup so that you can restart from the last working version. 3. do NOT install any tbs modules, but do install the firmware 4. make sure kernel and kernel-dev are below version 6.0 (as media_build does not support 6.0 and above yet). Both need the same version 5. use my media_build. It may or may not work depending on the kernel version. If it doesn't then try some older or newer ones. Before using a different version, run 'make distclean' and check that no '.o' '.ko' ... or any such files remain After this works, usually the blindscan drivers can be updated in the regular way. Why all these problems? Well it has NOTHING to do with the actual drivers, but with nvidia, ubuntu (some clever bit that tries to manage something about the boot process?), media_build or a combination thereof. I plan to provide a media_build free version of the drivers when I have some time. It will remove many of the problems. Fortunately, I do not have many nvidia based computers any more. When these cards work they are nice, but there are/have been many problems. I repeat my offer for remote assistance. I am not a regular ubuntu user myself, which makes it a bit more challenging.
