NvidiaGraphicsDrivers - wiki - openssl missing "-nodes" for the key generation

[dirk.nie...@gmail.com]

Hi,

https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

I could follow the wiki, however, I always did not get it to work with
dkms - and the solution I found searching the internet and testing
solutions for my issue was in the missing "-nodes" paramter as below
here:

openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -
out MOK.der -days 36500 -subj "/CN=My Name/" -nodes

Once I started to run through all the instructions now afterwards
nvidia was finally installed and running on my UEFI / Secure Boot
enabled system.

(Debian 12 bookworm)

kind regards

Dirk

I've just added the missing «-nodes» option:

Thanks for letting us know,
