Package: nvidia
Version: latest

Dear Debian Support Team,
I have recently installed the latest driver for the NVIDIA GeForce
GT210/GT218 card found on the NVIDIA website on a desktop machine running
Debian 10 with KDE Plasma. According to the instructions I've added
NVIDIA's repository to the sources list of apt, ran the update and
installed the driver, then rebooted after the installation, as it was
suggested by the guide. Unfortunately after the restart the login screen
was not displayed, only a small underscore mark in the corner (not
blinking) and a mouse cursor. When opening the console, I was prompted for
login, but when typing in either the username, or "root" I wasn't asked for
a password, but received the error message "Incorrect login". The issue
remained even after removing the graphics card and using the integrated VGA
port of the motherboard, or when trying to start the system in recovery
mode. This way I'm not even able to log in just to purge the driver and
continue using the one shipped with Debian 10. Please let me know how I can
fix this issue. Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Tibor Gacs

PS: since I can't login, I'm not able to use the reportbug program, sorry
for that.
