Anssi, thanks for your reply. When Andreas Beckmann added this URL to his apt disclosure:
https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#non-free-split He does give a useful example of how the entry should look in /etc/apt/sources/list like this: deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware and so I did that and it matched up well with the other deb entries excepting for the last part 'firmware' When I did apt update with the new entry I got this warning message: W: Failed to fetch https://deb/debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/InRelease Could not resolve 'deb' on running apt full-upgrade I see this: the following packages have been kept back: nvidia-kernel-dkms This means then nothing can happen until whatever is holding back nvidia-kernel-dkms is resolved because it must provide the missing nvidia-open-kernel-525.89.02. Andreas Beckmann is saying adding deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware to the /etc/apt/sources.list will install the firmware for nvidia-kernel-dkms that will then create nvidia-open-kernel. Until apt can resolve the mystery of 'non-free-firmware.' In my /etc/apt/apt/sources.list the entry was accepted until I got to the word firmware and that was whited out and deb can't be resolved. So, the cart is before the horse maybe, but there is more we cannot see. -- Charles Kroeger
