Install NVIDIA Driver for Plex HW Acceleration

I am also trying to get the nvidia driver installed for my Quadro P4000 card on OMV 4. Have been trying to install the driver based on the instructions linked above to the Debian wiki but I am getting errors about the packages being held backed.

If I download the driver from nvidia and try to run the installationen using "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.132.run" I get the following errors.

ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please
make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that
they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure
you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the
correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source
path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.

I am running the 4.19.0-0.bpo.5 kernel.

Would like some suggestions on how to the fix this.

I actually just did this Monday. I was having dependecy version issues mismatch. Just doing nvidia-driver backports caused it. Once I set nvidia-kernel-dkms to backports all was good. I wanted the newest drivers that auto updates.

apt-get install nvidia-driver nvidia-kernel-dkms
If using backports, add -t stretch-backports

Thanks for the suggestion but I still get errors. I am starting to wonder if it could be a problem with the package manager and not a driver issue.

I was having the same issue (OMV 4). The metapackage doesn't seem to recognize the kernel version during the install process and just installs the latest version.

I got around this by going directly to nvidia's site and downloading the driver package there: https://www.nvidia.com/Downloa…Results.aspx/142567/en-us (the driver here isn't listed on the driver search, though a rudimentary google search managed to locate it) Looks like the OP may have been trying to install an incompatible version. I also did a purge of nvidia stuff prior to installation

Then I just moved it to one of my shared folders and executed it from there using 'sh'
Hope that helps, now I just have to muddle through the rest of the setup

-edit address OP initial issue

Have you been able to get everything working? I've been dying for days trying and failing and breaking and fixing things. (OMV 5, Kernel 4.19)
