Hi,

Please run this in a directory where NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.108 is a subdir.
You can make this happen by running
wgethttp://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/340.108/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.108.run
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.108.run --extract-only
Note: You can use other versions/arches, see the source for what is acceptable.
On the one hand, why are you using python3? The script is for python2
only; so, better to use python2 instead.
On the other, it seems that the NVIDIA subdirectory is not found. The
code launching this error is:
for (VERSION, ARCH) in product(VERSIONS, ARCHES):
if os.path.exists("NVIDIA-Linux-%s-%s" % (ARCH, VERSION)):
break
else:
print("""Please run this in a directory where
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-%(version)s is a subdir.
Blah blah blah
""" % {"version": VERSIONS[-1]})
where:
ARCHES = ("x86_64", "x86")
Are you under 64 bits? If so, try with this other one:
wget
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/325.15/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15.run
Good luck,
Aitor.

[DNG] Request for assistance in dealing with a nouveau problem
Greetings This group has been far and above for approachability and helpfulness in comparison to the predecessor group. This is not on devuan at this point but I am working on moving my systems over - - - but aqs I've had too many joys in the past - - - - I'm a little slow - - - -e specially on my main system which this is. I have filed an issue with the extract_firmware location but that might take months until it is read and this needing to reboot (followed by 1/2 hour of system setup) at least once every 24 hours is enough to run anyone bananas! Hopefully there is someone who might assist - - - - - Running nouveau on debian testing with 2 graphics cards. 1. Nvidia 1050 Ti 2. Nvidia 570 Driving 5 monitors 1. 4k 2. rest 1920x1080 Driving seems to work well enough but i'm having to reboot at least once every 24 hours. Error in dmesg is: [ 428.865383] nouveau :02:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nvc8_fuc084 failed with error -2 [ 428.865390] nouveau :02:00.0: firmware: failed to load nouveau/nvc8_fuc084d (-2) [ 428.865391] nouveau :02:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nvc8_fuc084d failed with error -2 [ 428.865393] nouveau :02:00.0: msvld: unable to load firmware data [ 428.865394] nouveau :02:00.0: msvld: init failed, -19 Working through the following page: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/VideoAcceleration.html I get to $ python2 extract_firmware.py # this script is for python 2 only where I am using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.141.run extract_firmware.py (from right here) my resultant is: root@debianbase:/tmp/nouveau/nvidia# ls extract_firmware.py NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.141.run root@debianbase:/tmp/nouveau/nvidia# python3 extract_firmware.py Please run this in a directory where NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.108 is a subdir.
