Each distro has its own way of reporting bugs. Here's an unofficial description of the debian process (untested by me -- I don't use debian):

Here's official documentation:
Hmmmmmmm - - - interesting - - - - in this area Debian is sounding a lot like M$ - - - - "please setup this system so that we can monitor your system or . . . ." and there seems to be no other way to report bugs . As I don't do that for anyone - - - - - sounds like I am going to not be on debian for much longer. (I'm easy - - - - you work with me - - - or I'm history.)

Is the second card online at this point?
I'd guess that you can re-install 5.4.0-4.
The kernel report has things at 5.4.99 already.

Are you using the proprietary nvidia driver? If so, good luck getting support. With my distro, bug reports are only dealt with if no proprietary drivers are loaded. Ditto for upstream (the kernel bugzilla).
Nouveau is not proprietary so it is OK. But it is pathetic.
Hmmmmmm - - - - that really isn't good news. Oh well sounds like same old same old! Thanks for the ideas and suggestions! Regards
