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."

[absolut]

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

check with:

Code Auswählen Erweitern

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.

[mrsarmitage]

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