[solved] Warnig: No dist-upgrade

@devil:
danke, da hätte ich auch selbst drauf kommen können. 

@geier0815:
Thank you for the link. I think it is better to wait yet.

Hi,

I am running a pure debian sid and since days d-u wants to remove nvidia-driver and xserver-xorg-video-nvidia. Yesterday I let it go and found myself on a console on reboot. I opened experimental in the sources list and installed nvidia-driver and xserver-xorg-video-nvidia from experimental. That worked for me.

Regards dsat

@dsat: If you had just waited another day or two, you wouldn't have needed to install anything from experimental: https://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/news/20161208T165034Z.html

@harley-peter: Debian is waiting on Nvidia to update their proprietary legacy drivers:

Nvidia 304.xx bug:

Does this glue the GPU to the bus ? My GPU has a habit of falling off it.

Gnome is barfing after the upgrade. 

[CCarpenter]

apt full-upgrade worked fine here ...

[OppaErich]

Yeah, I knew this - why did I upgrade anyway ? Black screen and a working mouse pointer is all I get from this. 

[devil]

Paste the output of

Code: [Select]

dpkg -l | grep xorg

[OppaErich]

Hmm, there were no removals. I'll boot and join irc...

[DuckHunting]

Yeah, I knew this - why did I upgrade anyway ? Black screen and a working mouse pointer is all I get from this. 

Just wanted to say that Oppa Erich is not alone: I seem to have the same issues with a NVIDIA GPU as Oppa Erich. Mine is a GTX 970. Some time ago, with a kernel and/or nvidia-driver upgrade, I lost my sddm login screen, getting only a black screen. Nouveau was not working either with the 4K resolution of my Dell and produced flickering screens with 1024*768 goodness. At least, I got a working konsole.

Be it as it may, with the recent update of the kernel and the nvidia-driver, I directly boot into a black screen with no way out. The display goes into standby. Boot into recovery produces the same result, even with older kernels.

Nvidia-driver is from debian sid, kernel is standard siduction.

So, in case of a boot into darkness, is there any alternative to a new install? If not, could you please let me know when the new release will be available?

Thank you and kind regards
Duck Hunting

[OppaErich]

It seems it's not nvidia this time. I can't find any errors about it, the modules are loaded and I get the graphical mouse pointer and can move it around. I have to [Alt][Ctrl][F2] to get to a console. I do see "unrecoverable" errors about libclutter in journal and libclutter was updated too. looks like this a Gnome issue this time.

[devil]

you want to look into https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=847542 or  https://twitter.com/cryptosteve/status/806528682248568832 to see if one of them helps

[terroreek]

thanks @devil

Looks like libmozjs-24-0 was updated and gnome is working fine again.  Version 24.2.0-5 confirmed working.

[OppaErich]

Yeah, same here. Gnome up again.


Thanks devil
