maybe you will find it there:
http://snapshot.debian.org/

or apt-get install <package=version> if the package still exist in the repositories, but may u need to downgrade, or wait till it is fixed.

No, the needed driver is in debian/unstable.
It was my mistake, to put nvidia-driver 346.59-1.siduction.1 to fixes, i have forgotten, that it breaks the driver for users, who need 340 branch.
At the moment, we remove it from fixes.

I've solved removing all nvidia packages and installing the driver from Nvidia web page. I hope the 340 legacy version will soon be in the repositories.

Nice solution for breaking the system, especialy if one is using multiarch.
Pleas don't suggest such crap here to other users.

The eaysyest way, if there are not used apt-get remove/autoremove would be:


Code: [Select]
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*340.76-1.siduction.1*

But after using the f***ing installer, the system is not clean for that.
And then, agaida is builing a nvidia-legacy-340-driver at the moment, if it is ready for working correct, he will upload it.

The new driver is uploaded to fixes right now - because i own no sufficient hardware i can't test it - but the driver installs just fine on my intel notebook - kernelmodules are build too without error 8)

one can install the transitional package nvidia-glx-legacy-340xx or install the driver with apt-get install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver at wish. musca has tested it and says the driver works for him :)

First try to install the new driver:

Code: [Select]
apt-get install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx-i386 libgles1-nvidia-legacy-340xx libgles2-nvidia-legacy-340xx
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libgles1-nvidia-legacy-340xx is already the newest version.
libgles2-nvidia-legacy-340xx is already the newest version.
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver is already the newest version.
libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx-i386:i386 is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libegl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx : Depends: libnvidia-legacy-340xx-eglcore (= 340.76-3) but it is not going to be installed
 libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx-i386:i386 : Depends: libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx:i386 but it is not going to be installed
 libgles1-nvidia-legacy-340xx : Depends: libnvidia-legacy-340xx-eglcore (= 340.76-3) but it is not going to be installed
 libgles2-nvidia-legacy-340xx : Depends: libnvidia-legacy-340xx-eglcore (= 340.76-3) but it is not going to be installed
 nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver : Depends: libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx (= 340.76-3) but it is not going to be installed
                              Depends: nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver-bin (= 340.76-3) but it is not going to be installed
 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-340xx : Depends: libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx (= 340.76-3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Using 'apt-get -f install':

Code: [Select]
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx:i386 libnvidia-legacy-340xx-eglcore
  nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver-bin
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx libgl1-nvidia-legacy-340xx-glx:i386 libnvidia-legacy-340xx-eglcore
  nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver-bin

Which driver should I choose with this card?

Code: [Select]
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA GF119 [GeForce GT 610]
           Display Server: X.Org 1.16.4 driver: nvidia Resolution: 1920x1200@59.95hz
           GLX Renderer: GeForce GT 610/PCIe/SSE2 GLX Version: 4.4.0 NVIDIA 340.76

By now I have 340.76-1.siduction.1 which was in fixes... Is there a list with the supported/moved cards?

That did the trick:

apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/nvidia/{ print $2 }')
apt-get install  nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

Thank you very much towo!

Thanks! It works like a charm, even with the new 4.0 kernel.
