   5.5.3-towo.1-siduction-amd64 cinnamon

 
After a sytem update/upgrade, I tried to reinstall nvidia driver and failed.
Now system boots to a blank (black) screen.  
Can someone please help me fix this?

dibl:
Kernel 5.5.3 is working correctly here, with Nvidia driver ver. 440.59.

thanks dibl,
but I don't know how to go about downloading and installing nvidia driver with a black screen.

turborat:
forgot to mention, i had the nvidia 440.44 installed before update.
I could put the 440.59 on a usb thumb drive from another pc, but I wouldn't know what to do from there.

dibl:
It's the nvidia-driver package from the Debian unstable repo.  No need for USB sticks or copying files.

Ctrl-C or Alt-Del-F1 to get a prompt.  Login as root.


--- Code: ---apt update
apt install nvidia-driver
--- End code ---

should be all you need.
