NVIDIA-BUG-REPORT.SH(1)

📦 version 20240109+1, in debian bookworm, debian trixie

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, meet nvidia-bug-report.sh — the little script that creates a report so you can troubleshoot NVIDIA driver problems 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nvidia-bug-report.sh

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no drama, just run it 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, nvidia-bug-report.sh goes around collecting info about your system (heads up tho — it requires root privileges, so it's giving sudo energy 👑) and it makes a file called nvidia-bug-report.log.gz so you can diagnose NVIDIA driver issues.

and then?? you take that file and you send it to linux-bugs@nvidia.com OR you report it on the NVIDIA Linux forum at https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/linux/. literally that's it, slay 🎀

🎀 NOTES 🎀

okay this part is important, no cap. to make sure this log file includes as much relevant info as possible, please:

  • start the X server with startx -- -logverbose 6
  • run nvidia-bug-report.sh after the problem has occurred

periodt. timing matters, bestie ⏰

and if X can not be started, or the machine appears to have crashed 😭 — please check if you can log into it remotely (e.g. via ssh or telnet) and run nvidia-bug-report.sh in the remote shell, if possible. remote rescue arc, main character energy 🧚
