Hi, I’ve stretch (9.1) on a system with a K80 and wanting to get nvidia driver installed.
Following https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Debian_9_.22Stretch.22 I first tried the version 390.48, but that failed with: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-driver : PreDepends: nvidia-installer-cleanup but it is not installable PreDepends: nvidia-legacy-check (>= 343) but it is not going to be installed Depends: nvidia-driver-libs (= 390.67-2~bpo9+1) but it is not going to be installed or nvidia-driver-libs-nonglvnd (= 390.67-2~bpo9+1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: nvidia-driver-bin (= 390.67-2~bpo9+1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia (= 390.67-2~bpo9+1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: nvidia-vdpau-driver (= 390.67-2~bpo9+1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: nvidia-alternative (= 390.67-2~bpo9+1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: nvidia-kernel-dkms (= 390.67-2~bpo9+1) but it is not going to be installed or nvidia-kernel-390.67 Depends: nvidia-support but it is not installable Recommends: nvidia-settings (>= 390) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: nvidia-persistenced but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. So I changed over to try 375.66, and that goes further, but hangs after I answer this prompt at the bottom, been sitting there for over an hour doing nothing… sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's/[^-]*-[^-]*-//') nvidia-driver Reading package lists...

Welcome to the NVIDIA Software Installer for Unix/Linux Detected 32 CPUs online; setting concurrency level to 32. If you plan to no longer use the NVIDIA driver, you should make sure that no X screens are configured to use the NVIDIA X driver in your X configuration file. If you used nvidia-xconfig to configure X, it may have created a backup of your original configuration. Would you like to run `nvidia-xconfig --restore-original-backup` to attempt restoration of the original X configuration file? [default: (N)o]: N Could use some help. Thanks! Robert Welsh
