Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? Upgrading system from 12.12 to 13.1. https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/upgrading.html was followed precisely. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? System had Nvidia P600 graphics card installed. Nvidia Drivers from the non- free repository had been installed under 12.12 according to https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Debian_12_.22Bookworm.22, "proprietary" drivers installed. System is HP DC7900 with non-uefi bios (no secure boot). Upgrade failed part way through. It appeared that the 13.1 upgrade may have installed the "open" drivers. System failed to a blank screen with a flashing cursor. Was not able to recover to a graphical desktop (I'm not that knowledgable and could not find a relevant help article) Tried to remove graphics card and revery to systems own GPU. * What was the outcome of this action? That did not work. Instead did a fresh Debian 13.1 install with the Nvidia card removed from the system. The reinstalled the Nvidia P600 and reinstalled Nvidia drivers according to the Debian 13 section of the wiki * What outcome did you expect instead? That the install completed correctly. The Debian 13 upgrade instructions did not require removal of the graphics card and NVIDIA draivers. After fail, expected a Boot to where the install had got to with active screen using the systems own GPU. *** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
