Hello, I have an older card [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] that is no longer supported with the 590 and 595 drivers as was noted by Forrest Cahoon. The 580 series still does support these older cards (maybe yours is one). The nVidia repo referenced above no longer has the 580 version drivers available, but I found them referenced here:
https://developer.nvidia.com/datacenter-driver-580-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=Debian&target_version=12&target_type=deb_local This installs a local repo on your machine containing the 580.159.04 series drivers and userspace libraries that can then be installed/upgraded by apt. #Installation Instructions: wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/nvidia-driver/580.159.04/local_installers/nvidia-driver-local-repo-debian12-580.159.04_1.0-1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i nvidia-driver-local-repo-debian12-580.159.04_1.0-1_amd64.deb sudo cp /var/nvidia-driver-local-repo-debian12-580.159.04/nvidia-driver-*-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/ sudo apt-get update #NVIDIA Driver Instructions (choose one option) #To install the open kernel module flavor: #sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-open-580 #To install the proprietary kernel module flavor: sudo apt-get install -y cuda-drivers-580 #To switch between NVIDIA Driver kernel module flavors see here: #https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/driver-installation-guide/#switching-between-driver-module-flavors I had the main NVIDIA repo added at the time (as you do), I tested this and needed to pin the nvidia-driver and all relevant dependencies to 580.159.04-1, which you are probably going to need to do anyway if your card is no longer supported from 590 onward. I have attached the pin files for your convenience (the amd64 one I built out by hand, the i386 version uses wildcards once I knew what all the deps were - sorry, I was tired). With the 580 repo package and pins set up, 'sudo apt-get install -y cuda-drivers-580' ran normally and set up the 580 driver DKMS for all installed kernels, including the 7.0.x versions I had installed. I saw somewhere the 580 driver was updated against linux 7.1.x at least. $ apt list --installed | grep -i nvidia firmware-nvidia-graphics/unstable,unstable,now 20260410-1 all [installed] firmware-nvidia-gsp/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libegl-nvidia0/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libegl-nvidia0/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libgles-nvidia1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libgles-nvidia1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libgles-nvidia2/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libgles-nvidia2/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libglx-nvidia0/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libglx-nvidia0/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-allocator1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-allocator1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-api1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-cfg1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-egl-gbm1/unknown,now 1.1.3-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-egl-gbm1/unknown,now 1.1.3-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-egl-wayland1/unknown,now 1:1.1.21-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-egl-wayland1/unknown,now 1:1.1.21-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-egl-xcb1/unknown,now 1:1.0.5-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-egl-xcb1/unknown,now 1:1.0.5-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-egl-xlib1/unknown,now 1:1.0.5-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-egl-xlib1/unknown,now 1:1.0.5-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-eglcore/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-eglcore/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-encode1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-fbc1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-glcore/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-glcore/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-glvkspirv/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-glvkspirv/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-gpucomp/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-gpucomp/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-ml1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-ml1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-ngx1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-nvvm4/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-nvvm704/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-opticalflow1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-pkcs11-openssl3/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-present/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler1/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-rtcore/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-sandboxutils/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libnvidia-vksc-core/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-driver-cuda/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-driver-libs/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-driver-libs/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed] nvidia-driver-local-repo-debian12-580.159.04/now 1.0-1 amd64 [installed,local] nvidia-driver/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-egl-icd/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-kernel-dkms/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-kernel-support/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-modprobe/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-opencl-icd/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-persistenced/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-settings/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-vdpau-driver/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-vulkan-icd/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] nvidia-vulkan-icd/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 i386 [installed,automatic] nvidia-xconfig/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] xserver-xorg-video-nvidia/unknown,now 580.159.04-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] $ $ uname -r 7.0.9+deb14-amd64 nvidia-smi Sun May 24 23:24:21 2026 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 580.159.04 Driver Version: 580.159.04 CUDA Version: 13.0 | +-----------------------------------------+------------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M | Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.
