Possible documentation error on the Nvidia drivers installation guide

Support Driver and Hardware

I’ve been trying to install the nvidia drivers, I’ve tried a few times without any success.
I followed the official documentation at Nvidia drivers - Parrot Documentation and I’ve noticed a possible error in the lines that the guide says to add to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf file. More specifically the first one: blacklist nouveau.
I believe the words in this line should be swapped in order, when trying to execute sudo update-initramfs -u after creating the blacklist file the following is given as output:

libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:657 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with 'nouveau'

  • Parrot version in use 5.0

  • Kernel version 5.16.0-12parrot1-amd64

  • Logs/Terminal output

Hello. Consider that at the moment you may have to install the drivers from the repo backports (just add -t parrot-backports to the apt command). However, I will do some tests, thanks for feedback.
