hi, welcome to porteus forums :)
if you're using the present stock kernel (6.6.10 .. uname -a in a terminal to find out) there's a precompiled driver on the server/mirrors ..
http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.html (pick a mirror) /x86_64/Porteus-v5.01/kernel/08-nvidia-470.239.06_k6.8.10-porteus5.01-x86_64-1_pb.xzm
the quadro k2000 uses the 470.xx series
download it, place in your <installation_location>/porteus/modules folder and reboot
or alternatively <installation_location>/porteus/optional folder and add load=08-nvidia to the APPEND line in <installation_location>/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg

for other kernels: see here to build yourself : [HOWTO] make a xzm module driver for NVIDIA video card (Post by i3slkiller #99112) and https://gitlab.com/i3slkiller/porteusbu ... type=heads

ok, first up make sure you have the correct kernel (6.8.10) with uname -a
next thing thing to try is:
1. boot to text mode ( either by using the boot menu entry or press tab key at your default entry and type 3 and press enter )
2. log in to root user
3. run nvidia-xconfig (this will regenerate /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
4. then run init 4 or alternatively exit root and login to guest, then run startx

change the porteus txt entry with this line on APPEND you can save all the changes also in txt mode, and you can browser the changes directory if you have your files into it,ok try
ps:you have to see if the nvidia module blacklist noveau from boot take a look if you have this /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf

# generated by nvidia-installer
blacklist nouveau
#options nouveau modeset=0

LABEL text
MENU LABEL Text Mode
KERNEL /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
INITRD /boot/syslinux/initrd.zst
APPEND changes=/porteus 3

ncmprhnsbl,
beny,

Thanks for your help, I used the methods you advised me and in Text Mode I managed to install nvidia 470, but in Graphic Mode it was absolutely not installed the same like(see the photo I posted above)
and one thing, actually, even after installing Nv 470xx in Text Mode, I noticed some anomalies, the computer froze (froze) every time and I had to restart, and maybe it could be my Quadro K2000 graphics card with problems... maybe for now I will leave aside the work of the card 470xx and continue with the Nouveau driver because in fact the programs that I used for 3D works and Paintings work very well with the Nouveau driver.
But(lol) I have a question about this: is there a big difference between the Nouveau Graphic Card and my Nvidia Quadro K2000 - 470xx drivers...?

Thnx

ncmprhnsbl, beny,


Hello, I'm going back to the problem I wrote above. I applied everything you suggested and in graphic mode nothing changed..but I forgot to tell you one detail. In fact, I'm using Kernell 6.8.10 Porteus 5.01 and the option ''copy to ram'' (see below).

MENU LABEL Graphics mode
KERNEL /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
INITRD /boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
APPEND changes=/porteus/ noauto copy2ram

Maybe this is what causes the driver to not open in Graphic Mode?!!!
Thnx

hi, you have to have this on system:/lib/modules/6.8.10-porteus/kernel/drivers/video, and inside:
/lib/modules/6.8.10-porteus/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
/lib/modules/6.8.10-porteus/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia-drm.ko
/lib/modules/6.8.10-porteus/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia-modeset.ko
/lib/modules/6.8.10-porteus/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia-peermem.ko
/lib/modules/6.8.10-porteus/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia-uvm.ko
the nvidia module follow the kernel version so if you change kernel the nvidia package do not work anymore.

beny,

You wrote : you have to have this on system:/lib/modules/6.8.10-porteus/kernel/drivers/video, and inside:
nvidia.ko
nvidia-drm.ko
modeset.ko
peermem.ko
uvm.ko

I don't have any of these in the video folder, the only thing I do is to put the nvidia driver 470 xzm in the module folder and then reboot and after rebooting I have the same problem that i wrote above.?!!!

i think we're on the right track, just needs a couple of more steps.
reiterating:
1. boot to text mode ( either by using the boot menu entry or press tab key at your default entry and type 3 and press enter )
2. log in to root user
3. run nvidia-xconfig (this will regenerate /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
then
4. mkdir -p /tmp/nv-config/
5. cp -a --parents /etc/X11/xorg.conf /tmp/nv-config
6. dir2xzm /tmp/nv-config
7. mv /tmp/nv-config.xzm /mnt/sda2/porteus/modules (assuming that's your booting device and make sure it's mounted)
steps 4-7 can be done in a graphical session (if it's working after step 3. (test with "then run init 4 or alternatively exit root and login to guest, then run startx" )
using the root user filemanager and it's rickclick tools.. ie. make a folder in /tmp: nv-config with sub folder etc/X11/ ; copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf to it ; rightclick > "Build xzm module"(or similar) move that to your modules folder.
