Re: No graphical environment with nvidia after upgrade to Trixie 13.2 due to not-installed linux headers package



As far as I know, you need linux-headers for NVidia cards.

The headers are needed, because you have to build the nvidia-kernel-module 
(which is not part of the kernel), to interact with the NVidia-driver-libs.

After compilation, you can uninstall the headers.

Please note, you need them again, when upgrading or reinstalling the NVidia-
drivers or at any kernel upgrade.

You can use the debian packages or the installer from the NVidia-site.

I found it sometime easier, to use the installer. Doing so, you will have to 
uninstall all NVidia-related packages.

Hope this helps.

Best

Hans
