Hello all, as everybody knows, Deepin offers Nouveau and 390.67 Nvidia propietary drivers in its available driver options.

Here I'll teach - for those who want it for some reason - how to install latest long live / short live drivers on Deepin:

* Install Deepin's drivers with sudo apt install nvidia-driver, then reboot.
* After reboot, and without login in, use Ctrl + Alt + F2 to enter to the console.
* You'll see that you need to put your login info, do it, and then put sudo su and enter the password.
* Now write service lightdm stop, it will end the X session, necessary to install the drivers.
* Delete the newly installed drivers apt purge nvidia* && apt autoremove --purge

* Move to the directory in which Nvidia drivers file is located, using cd -path to directory-
* Type chmod a+x *run, now the file can be used as an executable (make sure it is the only .run file at your directory).
* Type sh *run, the Nvidia Driver will unpack and start to run, simply follow the steps it will say.

* After reboot, instead Nvidia Driver, maybe Nouveau will be running, so reboot again if this happens and type Ctrl + Alt + F2 // sudo su // service lightdm stop // sh *run
* You'll be running the .run file again, but not for another install, it will ask you to activate a "modprobe file" to disable the Nouveau drivers, autorize it to do that task, then reboot.


After rebooting you'll have the Nvidia 410 drivers running.
