Heya, so here are my default ball park guesses about your problem. A) Look in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and see if the driver for your video card is nvidia B) Did you compile the nvidia drivers yourself or did you use the kernel driver? If you didnt do either i would hope on nvidia's website and grab

My knoppix knowledge is meger, but if its anything like the debian install you are running stable. You can confirm this by looking in (atleast i assume its here) /etc/apt/sources.list. The lines will have either stable, testing or unstaable near the end of the line. cheers -Howell Richard Lyons

It seems to me that your are missing the gnome-common libs. there are few gnome packages you MUST have if you wish to run gtk apps. i *think* if you apt-get install gnome-common your probs will go away, but i havnt thought about this in a very long time. cheers -howell ZekeVarg wrote: I'm runn

Trust me when i say by killing X you have not done ANYTHING that bad. this can all be fixed ease most likely. if you let debconf change your XF86Config-4 and did not use the correct video driver in the install then that could be your problem. There are some other possiblities but i would start

It seems to me when you configured your internet connection you told it not to pull down the name servers for you. You must have a /etc/resolve.conf if you wish DNS to work whatsoever. So you have the options of making your own /etc/resolve.conf or you can figure your internet connection to pul

I wont swear on stack of bibles to this, but what you want seems not really possible without a reinstall. It seems to me you have already upgraded to versions of packages in testing. So to go backwards would mean to revert all your packages to older versions. However i think apt and its various
