There is no configuration file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

That's what I found so far.

EDIT: When booted into the new kernel, lsmod shows there is no nvidia module.

Same for me

hopefully make log attached from :

/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/470.57.02/build/make.log

I'd just run a full DU and everything went well with kernel 5.14.3-1-siduction-amd64 and the new Nvidia-driver 470.63.01. My System is up and running!

Thanks everybody and have a thriving week

[pjnsmb]

My DU has brought me Nvidia-driver 470.63.01 now.

All is working fine again on kernel 5.14.3-1

[dibl]

Confirmed -- Nvidia graphics working perfectly on new kernel (2 systems).  All is good ...... with Patience!   

[paco]

Nope, I've got a clean install of the farewell CD right after it's release and did a d-u every second day and got no offer to install Nvidia-driver 470.63.01.

Whats wrong? Do I have to add something to the sources?
Thank you very much.

Hello- I'd just done an DU. Now I cannot login  any-more. Login- screen appears, but that's it.
Kernel: 5.14.3-2-siduction-amd64
Nvidia: 470.63.01-0~siduction.2

So take care...

[dibl]

Now I cannot login  any-more. Login- screen appears, but that's it.

This looks like a new topic -- I suggest you post it under "Software".

Question #1: Can you log into a tty console?

[charlyheinz]

Yes I think you are right- it should be a new topic, and yes, I can login at a tty. Starting X from there as a normal user leads to the same. As root also...

And today it is a mess because I have a lot of work, brrrr

I would have never been able to troubleshoot the issue based on the output in the Xorg.0.log.
