Tuxedo-tomte with fault nvidiadriver install

[Freemike123211]

I have installed tuxedo linux on my old PC. Every time after booting, tomte installed the latest nvidia driver, which does not support my old GeForce 730, a reboot is not possible afterwards. For now I uninstalled tomte, now everything works fine. Is this a tomte error? Is there a better solution?

According to the desciption:

TUXEDO Tomte is a configuration service that automatically recognizes the customer’s device and checks for missing drivers or required packages...

I would say definitely a error.

But alternatively you should be able to configure the tomte modules (separately) and block only everything that you do not want, or not need.

Basically, in this case:
sudo tuxedo-tomte block nvidia-driver
Should stop tomte from updating the nvidia driver (what I am doing currently), you can still use the driver you have installed it just blocks the update.

If you want to install the newest Tomte version, then you could create a file /etc/tomte/DONT_CONFIGURE before installing Tomte.
As the manpage says:

DONT_CONFIGURE
Nothing will be configured by Tomte.

   Usefull  if you want to create the file before installing Tomte to avoid Tomte to make any unwanted changes to the
   system or to set Tomte on hold after having the configuration you want.

POSSIBLE WORKFLOW
If you don't want Tomte to make any modifications on your system or you want to keep your specific kernel, you
could create the file DONT_CONFIGURE in /etc/tomte/ and Tomte will not make any modifications on the system,
except for the required repositories and Debian mirrors.

       Afterwards you could list the required fixes with
                    tomte list
       block the fixes you don't want on your system with
                    sudo tomte block <MODULE>
       and set the Tomte installation mode to AUTOMATIC or UPDATES_ONLY with
                    sudo tomte AUTOMATIC
       or
                    sudo tomte UPDATES_ONLY
       Alternatively you could install the fixes you want manually by using
                    sudo tomte configure <MODULE>
