I'm encountering a problem while attempting to install the Nvidia driver on my Debian system. I'm using Debian 11 "Bullseye" on a Radxa Rock4 computer. My efforts to install the Nvidia driver have hit a roadblock due to issues related to dependencies and configuration. My Rock4C+ is new but other stuff works fine like Gimp.

Upon executing sudo apt install nvidia-driver, I'm presented with the following error message (the end of it):

Removing old nvidia-current-470.182.03 DKMS files...

Deleting module version: 470.182.03 completely from the DKMS tree.


Done. Loading new nvidia-current-470.182.03 DKMS files... Building for 5.10.110-11-rockchip Building initial module for 5.10.110-11-rockchip Error!

I've taken several steps to address this issue, including refreshing the package list, running sudo apt --fix-broken install, and even attempting to install an older version of the Nvidia driver using sudo apt install nvidia-driver=470.103.01-1~bpo11+1. However, the problem persists.

Here are some of the Nvidia-related packages that are currently installed on my system:

nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-libs nvidia-driver-bin nvidia-kernel-dkms

I've also reviewed the log file for the nvidia-kernel-dkms installation (/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/470.182.03/build/make.log), although I'm unsure how to accurately interpret the information contained therein.

My Kernel as below:

radxa@rock-4c-plus:~$ uname -r
5.10.110-11-rockchip

I would greatly appreciate assistance in diagnosing and resolving this issue. If anyone has encountered similar problems or can offer guidance on potential next steps, I would be immensely grateful for your support.

    I suspect the important information is indeed in /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/470.182.03/build/make.log. Usually start by looking for the word "error" preferably near the end of the file, but make can do things in a funny order so don't be surprised if the error isn't at the end. – Philip Couling Aug 16 '23 at 10:57
