After about 12 years of service my GPU card is starting
to act up. It seems to shut down so no video on my
monitor, even the virtual consoles. System is up and
functioning as I can access it via ssh. Sometimes this
state is accompanied by the fan running at high speed
though the card is not overheating.
The old card uses nvidia's 470 series of drivers while
its replacement will use the 525 series.
Can I pre-install the 525 packages so they are present
when I reboot after I install the new hardware? I.e.
can both series be installed without consequence?
Thanks,
jon
