Hello guys,
I guess that the nvidia drivers for my old GTX760 graphic card are at the end of life, so I got stuck on nvidia 470xx version.
This should be not a problem, but everytime I try to update the system, i have a black screen at the reboot and I have to roll back to the latest timeshift backup.
So I can’t update anymore.
Is there a way to permanently fix this issue without have to renounce to the updates?
Thanks for your help.
I googled a lot before posting and I find some situation similar (not identical) to mine, but my poor linux skills prevent me to find out a tailored solution.
Here my inxi -Fza output:
