I did the usual synaptic update and upgrade and after I rebooted the X server refuses to start. I'm on Debian stable Lenny. I temporarily changed the "nvidia" string in xorg.conf to "nv" and it works in a low resolution now to write this mail. I've included the synaptic log of what got upgraded below. Anyone know what went wrong and what I should do to fix it? I think I used the nvidia proprietary driver package in the contrib or non-free repository in february, but I dont remember all details since I tried so many things. I suppose there is something wrong between the new kernel and the old nvidia drivers. But shouldn't that be upgraded automatically when the kernel debian package gets updated? Maybe I downloaded their package from their site and installed it manually. Hmm..
In any case I thought I should ask a preemptive question before I break anything further ;). #### Commit Log for Sun Apr 12 13:43:59 2009 Upgraded the following packages: base-files (5) to 5lenny2 bind9-host (1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-1) to 1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-2 dnsutils (1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-1) to 1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-2 gdm (2.20.7-4) to 2.20.7-4lenny1 gthumb (3:2.10.8-1) to 3:2.10.8-1+lenny1 gthumb-data (3:2.10.8-1) to 3:2.10.8-1+lenny1 gtk2-engines-pixbuf (2.12.11-4) to 2.12.12-1~lenny1 libbind9-40 (1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-1) to 1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-2 libdns45 (1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-1) to 1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-2 libgtk2.0-0 (2.12.11-4) to 2.12.12-1~lenny1 libgtk2.0-bin (2.12.11-4) to 2.12.12-1~lenny1 libgtk2.0-common (2.12.11-4) to 2.12.12-1~lenny1 libisc45 (1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-1) to 1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-2 libisccc40 (1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-1) to 1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-2 libisccfg40 (1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-1) to 1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-2 liblwres40 (1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-1) to 1:9.5.1.dfsg.P1-2 libmagick++10 (7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-3~lenny1) to 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg2-1~lenny1 libmagick10 (7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-3~lenny1) to 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg2-1~lenny1 libpam-modules (1.0.1-5) to 1.0.1-5+lenny1 libpam-runtime (1.0.1-5) to 1.0.1-5+lenny1 libpam0g (1.0.1-5) to 1.0.1-5+lenny1 libpq5 (8.3.6-1) to 8.3.7-0lenny1 libpurple0 (2.4.3-4) to 2.4.3-4lenny1 libsmbclient (2:3.2.5-4) to 2:3.2.5-4lenny2 libwbclient0 (2:3.2.5-4) to 2:3.2.5-4lenny2 linux-image-2.6-amd64 (2.6.26+17) to 2.6.26+17+lenny1 linux-libc-dev (2.6.26-13lenny2) to 2.6.26-15 lvm2 (2.02.39-6) to 2.02.39-7 openoffice.org (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-base (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-base-core (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-calc (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-common (1:2.4.1-17) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-core (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-draw (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-evolution (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-filter-mobiledev (1:2.4.1-17) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-gcj (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-gnome (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-gtk (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-help-en-us (1:2.4.1-17) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-impress (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-java-common (1:2.4.1-17) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-math (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-officebean (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-report-builder-bin (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-style-andromeda (1:2.4.1-17) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-style-tango (1:2.4.1-17) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 openoffice.org-writer (1:2.4.1-17+b1) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 pidgin (2.4.3-4) to 2.4.3-4lenny1 pidgin-data (2.4.3-4) to 2.4.3-4lenny1 ttf-opensymbol (1:2.4.1-17) to 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1 xserver-xorg-core (2:1.4.2-10) to 2:1.4.2-10.lenny1 xserver-xorg-video-savage (1:2.2.1-2) to 1:2.2.1-2.lenny1 Installed the following packages: linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 (2.6.26-15) #### -- Regards, Thomas Anderson "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
