Debian Buster Install Nvidia Driver

A network install or netinst CD is a single CD which enablesyou to install the entire operating system. This single CD containsjust the minimal amount of software to start the installation andfetch the remaining packages over the Internet.

This beginner’s guide explains the steps to install Debian 10 Buster. The following process includes the step by step guide with screenshots and prepared to be followed by any user. Debian is a “true” free and open-source GNU/Linux Distribution. It is probably the oldest Linux distribution based on Linux Kernel. Today, Debian is the most.
Installer: Starting from Debian 10 Buster, the live images contain the end-user-friendly Calamares Installer, a distribution-independent installer framework, as alternative to our well known Debian-Installer. Size: Each image is much smaller than the full set of DVD images, but larger than the network install.
1) Downloaded and burned this ISO firmware-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso to USB (non-free) 2) Used the Expert mode to install Debian without a DE. (As I wanted to install BSPWM without any DE). 3) I also enabled the buster-backports repository during install itself.

What's better for me — the minimal bootable CD-ROM or thefull CDs? It depends, but we think that in many cases theminimal CD image is better — above all, you only download the packagesthat you selected for installation on your machine, which saves bothtime and bandwidth. On the other hand, the full CDs are more suitablewhen installing on more than one machine, or on machines without afree Internet connection.

Install newer non-free firmware and intel microcode from backports: sudo aptitude -t buster-backports -r install firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree intel-microcode firmware-misc-nonfree firmware-iwlwifi. Debian recently released its newest stable version, Debian 10, also known as Buster. The latest release includes many updates to Debian’s software packages, including five years of support for its users. In this tutorial learn how to install Debian 10 Buster.

What types of network connections are supportedduring installation?The network install assumes that you have a connection to theInternet. Various different ways are supported for this, likeanalogue PPP dial-up, Ethernet, WLAN (with some restrictions), butISDN is not — sorry!

The following minimal bootable CD images are available fordownload:

Official netinst images for the stable release — see below
Images for the testing release, both daily builds and known working snapshots, see the Debian-Installer page.

Official netinst images for the stable release

Up to 300 MB in size, this image contains the installer and asmall set of packages which allows the installation of a (very) basicsystem.

netinst CD image (generally 150-300 MB, varies by architecture)

netinst CD image (via bittorrent)

For information what these files are and how to use them, please seethe FAQ.

Once you have downloaded the images, be sure to have a look at thedetailedinformation about the installation process.

Unofficial netinst images with non-free firmware included

If any of the hardware in your system requires non-free firmware to beloaded with the device driver, you can use one of thetarballs of common firmware packages or download an unofficial imageincluding these non-free firmwares. Instructions how to use the tarballsand general information about loading firmware during an installation canbe found in the Installation Guide.

I have a HP Omen laptop. dc 1093tx which has in-built Intel Graphics and the Nvidia card (GTX 1650).
I wish to stick to using Debian Buster, but since my Nvidia driver was not installing, I tried other distro like Manjaro and that worked. I don't want to stick on Manjaro (I prefer 'apt get' / 'debian'). So, have attempted multiple times to install Nvidia but couldn't get it working.
Primary issue is that my monitor is not getting detected. (HDMI port is used).
Under Manjaro - here's what the working version looks like.

Debian Buster Non Free Installation

I installed nvidia-driver-440 which supports my Debian 10 buster download

GTX 1650.
Sharing output from inxi -G under Manjaro (when everything works).

Code: Select all: Graphics: Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel Device-2: NVIDIA TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q] driver: nvidia v: 440.59 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.7 driver: modesetting,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,nouveau,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz, 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 440.59

Here the OpenGL renderer is using my NVIDIA GPU. But under debian the OpenGL always stays at 'Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 630'
I did read Bumblebee is not a good choice, so had not tried it earlier. But after following few articles, I gave up and tried Bumblebee as well. But that led to a screen freeze on boot.
Having gone through multiple articles, I'm not even sure right now, what steps to share (that I tried out). Could anyone please guide me, on how to properly go about installing nvidia driver (440) in Debian buster.

Debian Buster Non Free Install Windows 10

So far on Buster this is what I can say I tried last.
Enable

Code: Select all: # Backports repository deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib non-free

Then installed the latest linux 5.4 kernel (had tried withou kernel update as well) along with the latest driver.

Code: Select all: apt update apt-get install -t buster-backports nvidia-driver

Debian Buster Install Nvidia Driver

Rebooted but still nvidia wasn't being used though installed. I wasn't sure how to switch to it since I ran into nvidia-settings was not showing up. (Unable to load system etc kind of message).
Had also followed the wiki and below reference:
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install- ... ster-linux
Any suggestions? Other than staying on Manjaro I'm willing to make a fresh attempt.
