@Jiab77, Sorry for late answer, it was a hard week on work.

@UrbanVampire, No worries, it's pretty same on my side, I'm also overloaded of work... that's why I'm replying you just now πŸ˜…

Oh, c'mon, it was you who found nvidia workaround. Not to mention that I wouldn't even start working without your original script.

Well, it was pretty simple to be honest but do the job to automate the whole process as you did is not the same at all!

AFAIK, the "firmware" folder is placed in "/lib" on both 32 and 64 systems. But after recent patches "/lib" is moved to "/usr/lib" on some systems. So, maybe it's better to extract destination path from original "Possible missing hardware" message.

Yes you're right and I saw in the code that you managed it very well. 🀘

I think the arch command is the simplest way. But there's other thing: latest 32-bit drivers on nvidia site is 390.143. I'm not really sure what FW version is needed for 32-bit kernels. Anyway we need some experiments to understand:

Thanks a lot for that, I was not aware about the arch command and it's much better than parsing lscpu output 😁

I have zero experience with github but i'll try :)

You did it very well for the less I could see πŸ‘ I've stared the project already and added on my watch list 😜

I think for now my job is done here.
BTW, don't You wanna add German of French README translation? Sorry, don't know what Your native language is.

Well, I'm a native French speaker but I'm not really sure that would be useful to translate it in French honestly as many French native speakers that work in the computer domain knows reading English already and if they don't then they should learn it, it will give them a much wider source of knowledge 😜

BTW, let's keep in touch somewhere else, what do you think? write me an email if interested πŸ˜‰
