blastwave | dumb question : how do I determine the version of a pkg before I install it? I am thinking of the nvidia-driver here and curious what rev it is | 21:35 |
---|---|---|
blastwave | apt-cache show nvidia-driver seems to show Version: 470.103.01-2 which may not work at all on my hardware | 21:37 |
ElPresidente | How do I check my syslogs? | 21:38 |
ElPresidente | Specifically my logs for nvidia-persistenced | 21:38 |
fsmithred | blastwave, if you go to the nvidia download site, you can look up your hardware and see what versin of driver it needs. | 22:11 |
fsmithred | don't use the driver directly from nvidia if there's a package in the repo for you. | 22:12 |
fsmithred | packages | 22:13 |
fsmithred | There's also this for checking package names and versions: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ | 22:27 |
fsmithred | ElPresidente, as root (or sudo) 'less /var/log/syslog' | 22:36 |
fsmithred | then press / and type a search pattern, press Enter. Then / Enter to the next instance of the pattern. | 22:37 |
