| Jan 17, 2019 at 16:18 | comment | added | andcoz | Two different software vendors develop drivers for Nvidia graphic cards: Nvidia itself and the nouveau open source project. You can chose to use one or them or the other. Both of them are free as in Beer but only one is free as in Speech. IMHO, Nvidia drivers are faster but buggier than nouveau drivers. | |
| Jan 17, 2019 at 15:41 | comment | added | Basj | @andcoz "nouveau" means "new" in french, so I thought it was a saying like "Is the new driver installed as well ?" | |
| Jan 17, 2019 at 14:51 | comment | added | andcoz | @Basj Can I give you a suggestion? Do not ask new questions in comments. Search this site (or duckduckgo.com) and, if you do not find an answer, open a new question for that point. E.g. "What is the difference between nouveau and nvidia driver?" or "How can I set video mode at Linux boot?" are good candidates for new questions. Sorry but we cannot answer to such complex questions in comments. | |

Is the nouveau driver installed as well ? you can see if yes with the command lsmod | grep nouveau.

| Jan 16, 2019 at 15:09 | comment | added | Basj | @andcoz I don't have any monitor or TV anymore... (only laptops) how to change boot parameters to force VESA or move console to serial ? | |
| Jan 16, 2019 at 15:04 | comment | added | andcoz | Can you check if the server starts with the Nvidia card and a monitor? IMHO, grub/grub2/whatever or the framebuffer fails to initialize the Nvidia card when headless, so you have no console and the server freezes. If true, you can try to change boot parameters to force a VESA video mode or to move the console on a serial. | |
