Hello!
Help me, please.
This window appears. What are the options for solving the paths?
You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
"1. Our community's resources --the forum, documentation, etc-- are for free software only. Please do not distribute, recommend, or support non-free software here."
We are against nonfree software dude, because we believe is a inmorality share the slavery, because as with nonfree software you are under the hands of other, in this case Nvidia and his friends, you dont have the control of your computing one time you have it installed, so you never go to find help to install malware a.k.a nonfree software in a free distribution of the GNU Operating System.
Your in the wrong forum my dude.
He just wants video. Shouldn't we be telling him to install nouveau?
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
And then reboot. Try it.
Shouldn't you have mentioned that the nouveau package you are referring to is installed by default on Trisquel? I corrected that for you. An easy thing to miss for a beginner.
Well then, shouldn't we be telling him a grub option or some way to invoke nouveau? I don't use Nvidia, but surely this is a thing that people deal with.
> surely this is a thing that people deal with.
It seems so: https://trisquel.info/en/search/node/nouveau.
Shouldn't we feel free to ask away if we run into a problem with nouveau? Installing nonfree stuff is definitely not the right path.
Oh, I finally understand. He was literally trying to install the non-free driver and it was complaining. I thought when I read it that he just wanted an x session and needed nouveau. My bad. Carry on with your public shaming of him.
What could you possibly miss in: "How to install proprietary NVIDIA driver?"
No need to shame anyone, though. The OP has the right to know why their question is not going to be answered here, even if the reason is readily available in the Community Guidelines.
I keep reading them again from time to time. I like to meditate on point #6 of the Code of Conduct especially: "Use common sense all the time".

I literally thought he wasn't able to get a graphical desktop and thought the only way was with the nvidia driver, and that it was a great opportunity to tell him about his free software choices.
Try the Oibaf PPA, which has libre drivers, and run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

If you want newer driver support, you can try Trisquel 11, it's on beta status:
http://cdbuilds.trisquel.org/aramo/
Install it. Then, follow this guide to install the upgraded repo for libre GPU drivers.
Create an /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oibaf-ubuntu-graphics-drivers-aramo.list file with this content:
deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu/ jammy main
# deb-src https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu/ jammy main
Then run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
The answer to 101's question is:
When you get to the GRUB boot menu, do not do nothing to choose default or select select an option and hit return on your keyboard to select that option. Instead, choose an option and hit "e" on your keyboard, which enables you to edit the option. Using arrow keys on your keyboard move to the line with the vmlinuz command and towards the end of that line type in an additional option which is
"systemd.unit=multi-user.target". Only type what is between the quotation marks, not the marks themselves. Follow directions for booting with your revised command-line (I need to type either control-X or F10) and log in by typing your user name and password when prompted. This logs you into a "console" (non-graphical) shell, with no graphics drivers or "X11" running. Then follow Nvidia's instructions.
