Hi,
the kernel does not let me into graphical mode. Just init 3 is possible.
What can I do? What Information do you need?
Hi mylo,
you have to change to nvidia-glx from experimental too:
apt-get install -t experimental nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx
greetings,qwerthi.
No!
The driver from experimental does not work with his card.
But the driver from our fixes Repo should do.
Hi towo,
thanks for your message. I was just on the way searching wiki and manual (i never found out for what info i have to search where) how to activate experimental in the sources. I could not find the answer and asked myself "experimental" yes, but debian exp or siduction exp?
So I decided to come back here and saw your message.
How to activate the fixes repo?
The good message: up to now I never used it, as siduction runs so troublefree over years, also above forking events...wow a really performing linux.
Let me take this opportunity to say thank you to the team and their great work on this famous piece of software.
I wish the siduction team, their helpers and supportes and fans all over the world some peaceful calm christmas days and a happy new year!
Sorry mayas, I have to extend your calendar:
The world continues on Dec22, 2012.
Show your siduction sources, the fixes repo should be in there (theoretical).
If not, you need
deb http//ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/siduction/fixes unstable main contrib non-free
to get the fixed driver.
wie sage ich, dass ich aus dem fixes-repo installieren will?
apt-get install -t fixes packagename ?
Oder deaktiviere ich für die Installation die siduction unstable-Quelle?
Hi mylo no, no need to do "-t fixes". You should have a repo /etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction-fixes.list and it looks like this:
root@siductionbox:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat siduction-fixes.list
deb http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free
You might need to add contrib and non-free.
Then apt-get update and afterwards you should be able to see the available nvidia drivers like this:
root@siductionbox:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-cache policy nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 304.64-3.1
Version table:
304.64-3.1 0
500 http://packages.siduction.org/fixes/ unstable/non-free i386 Packages
304.64-3 0
500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable/non-free i386 Packages
On this 32-bit system (with Intel GPU), I ran "apt-get -s install nvidia-glx" and it would install the fixed driver from the siduction-fixes repo. However, you could also run:
apt-get install nvidia-glx=304.64-3.1 and that will install the fixed one.
Hi dibl,
regards to Ohio!
Yes, I made it towards init 5 again. I tried to install
nvidia-glx
nvidia-kernel-dkms
However, apt was "zickig", means "did anything else I expected (so the opposite of troublefree)".
So I deinstalled anything, apt had a prob with ("Abhängigkeiten") and I installed
...-glx and ...-dkms
again.
It works. Thanks guys for your help.
From my understanding, now I have a nvidia driver from source "fixes".
Do I have to obey something in terms of d-u?
How to handle *fixes in the sources list? Comment out?

No, just leave the siduction-fixes.list active. There will be no problems with d-u (except maybe your kranken/zickig apt ...). :)
Ok, I understand. If fixes has a better pack with higher version number it is taken, otherwise the standard repo is the package source.
