GeForce GT 1030 broken again?

I was able to fix this problem by telnet’ing into the NAS via Putty

  1. SSH into your NAS
    Use an SSH client (like PuTTY) to connect to your NAS as the admin user. (make sure SSH is enabled > Control Panel > Network & File Services > Telnet\SSH) and it must be done with the admin login.

  2. Remove the kernel driver files
    Find the kernel driver folder (usually under /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/), and then run:
    rm -rf /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/KvKernelDriver
    Remove the KvKernelDriver with the exact directory name as shown in your .qpkg folder; sometimes it is named differently depending on model or package version.
    The .qpkg folder is typically hidden, so if you cannot find the .qpkg folder type:
    ls -al /share/CACHEDEV*_DATA/.qpkg
    That should reveal your cachedev folder number where the .qpkg folder is hiding.

  3. Clean up installation remnants:
    Remove any leftover update package files:
    rm -r /mnt/HDA_ROOT/update_pkg/*
    This clears pending installation data that can block re-installations.

  4. Edit the QNAP application config (be very careful in here):
    Open app config by type vi /etc/config/qpkg.conf
    Navigate the list by using CTRL+F to move forward and CTRL+B to move back. You want to find the KvKernelDriver section where the driver’s details are listed.
    Once you find the KvKernelDriver section, press i to go into insert/edit mode.
    Use the up and down arrow keys to get to the section labeled [KvKernelDriver], and carefully delete that section, including all lines under it (from [KvKernelDriver] down to the next bracketed section).
    If you make a mistake, just hit Escape and close the window or type :q! and press enter
    If everything looks good, type :wq or :w to save without quitting. You can exit the editor/Putty.
    This will instantly take the KvKernelDriver out of the Apps Center.

  5. Reboot the NAS.

  6. While the NAS is rebooting, go download the the KvKernelDriver from Download Center | QNAP

  7. When the NAS is back online, manually install the KvKernelDrive. After that, you can install the GPU driver as normal.
