Package: nvidia-kernel-common Version: 20111111+1 Severity: important After installing nvidia packages and rebooting as suggested, X does not work anymore. The screen stays in text mode, I can use VT1-6, but in VT7 I see only a blinking caret.
lsmod shows nouveau loaded, even if /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-common.conf blacklisted it. Among other things, also the nvidia module shows up in lsmod output. I've already tried to manually run update-initramfs -u and rebooting, but bothing changed. If I rmmod nouveau and restart lightdm, I get nouveau loaded again. if I rmmod nouveau and nvidia and then restart lightdm, xorg works but with nouveau driver. I suspect nvidia-kernel-common should configure something else in addition to /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-common.conf in order to keep X from loading nouveau. My video card is a nVidia Corporation G96M [Quadro FX 770M] (rev a1) and upstream proprietary drivers do work as expected (but I never installed them in this Debian system, I fear what mess they could do in wheezy, I only installed them in a previous squeeze system I've already erased). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nvidia-kernel-common depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.1.2 ii module-init-tools 3.16-1 nvidia-kernel-common recommends no packages. nvidia-kernel-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
