After DU no X with nvida

After DU today and Kernel 3.14-4 there is no X.
Message is: Could not insert nvidia_current.
dkms status: nvidia-current, 331.67: added. Var/log/Xorg.0.log states: Failed to load the nvidia kernel module.

sorry I am not on this machine right now.

dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms

btw dkms status added != dkms status installed

If the module does not build, provide the buildlog of the nvidia-module

[mrsarmitage]

dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms:


"deleting module version: 331.67 completely from the DKMS tree


Done

Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed."

well, the info is actually there, it seems the kernel headers are not there for nvidia to be built... right?

check with:

Code: [Select]

dpkg -l | egrep 'linux-headers-|linux-image-'

On your d-u the headers are removed, so without headers, no module-building, easy that is.
You should read, what apt is removing on d-u.

yes thank you-  during the DU the headers were removed, I reinstalled them and the module has built now, problem solved.
Thanks again
