Hi,
today I encounter a problem, when entering init 3.
I have green blocks on my screen (see attached).
What to do?
lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 11228876 30
i2c_core 16849 2 i2c_i801,nvidia
wow, this problem is real. I cannot more d-u. I cannot reach init 3 level.
This stinks as a complete new install.
????
Surely you could change to the nouveau driver, and then you can d-u, right?
Hi dibl,
as I cannot enter from init 5 into init 3 mode, this is a problem. I see no way out right now. I think, I should not try that in a root shell.
You may reach RL3 by adding a digit "3" by editing your kernel command line at grub's boot-screen.
Or you may add your driver in this line (I guess the syntax is driver=nouveau, not sure), but then you should not have a xorg.conf which tells something else, also nouveau maybe blacklistet if you use the blob.

Hi ayla,
yes I put the 3 in the wrong place and corrected this. Unfortunately a d-u does not help. So it seems I have to fix the driver.
Can I try:
apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx?
Strange to me looks, that
nvidia-kernel-source is not installed...
Don't know much about nvidia.
But AFAIK if you use nvidia-kernel-dkms there is no need of nvidia-kernel-source.
If I had to repair my driver I would apt-get purge nvidia* and install all new after. Don't know what towo would think about this procedure :)

Right ayla, I'll see, whether towo has a hint, how to proceed.

Obviously there is a problem....
Don't use a console-framebuffer.

and reinstall the older driver. Then set it on hold.
Thanks michaa7; towo, what do I have to do in order to not unsing the buffer?
I don't know, how you have set the framebuffer.
Show me the contents of /etc/default/grub.

I'll respond later, as I have to catch a train. Thanks in advance.
I can't find "framebuffer" related issues in this file?!
Please show me
cat /proc/cmdline
and
lsmod
