I am trying to install a driver for NVIDIA GTX1060 on my laptop. I used the official method. I ran NVIDIA script, and it shows:

Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module

I have installed Linux kernel using this command:

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's/[^-]*-[^-]*-//')

I'm using Debian 9.

Apt source file:

quidam@debian:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 9.5.0 _Stretch_ - Official amd64 NETINST 20180714-10:25]/ stretch main

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 9.5.0 _Stretch_ - Official amd64 NETINST 20180714-10:25]/ stretch main

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ stretch main

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main

# stretch-updates, previously known as 'volatile'

    Have you installed the nvidia-kernel package? – vfbsilva Sep 13 at 21:00
  • root@debian:/home/quidam# apt-get install nvidia-kernel Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package nvidia-kernel – Mike Delta Sep 14 at 5:39
  • Please edit your post to include your sources.list. If it cannot locate the package you may need to add the non-free repo to your sources.list – kemotep Sep 14 at 12:24
  • Hello kemotep, done. – Mike Delta Sep 14 at 15:23
  • Any reason you do not use the debian packaged version (in non-free) of NVIDIA drivers ? – sebasth Sep 14 at 15:40
