blastwavedumb 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 is21:35
blastwave apt-cache show nvidia-driver seems to show Version: 470.103.01-2 which may not work at all on my hardware21:37

fsmithredblastwave, if you go to the nvidia download site, you can look up your hardware and see what versin of driver it needs.22:11
fsmithreddon't use the driver directly from nvidia if there's a package in the repo for you.22:12
fsmithredpackages22:13
fsmithredThere's also this for checking package names and versions: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/22:27
fsmithredElPresidente, as root (or sudo) 'less /var/log/syslog'22:36
