I guess I made some mistake, as there are messages labeled uvesafb in all the boot attempts this afternoon. Maybe I should have blacklisted uvesafb besides commenting it out from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. I'll try this during the weekend later.

Bug#684240: lenovo t61 laptop fails to shutdown
I followed your instructions. The score is 3-7. X failed to start and I had to reboot. Then it seemed to work nicely. I tried to suspend the machine with no success and had to reboot. Then it failed to start again, so I rebooted and it started nicely. Another reboot and it failed... The pattern seems to be that when X starts a few thin colored lines are displayed for a short time and then either the screen turns black and soon afterwards the small 'waiting' rotating icon appears. That means success. Otherwise, the screen becomes dark blue-gray and a thin horizontal blinking-jumping line cursor appears at the left side of the screen somewhat below the center. That means failure. It seems that in this case many attempts are made, the disk seems to be quite active and hundreds of logfiles are produced. Would you care to receive any?

Dear Jonathan, Thanks again for your interest and patience. > Here's how I would suggest blacklisting the drivers: > echo blacklist nouveau >/etc/modprobe.d/ls-blacklist-gpu-drivers.conf > echo blacklist nvidia >>/etc/modprobe.d/ls-blacklist-gpu-drivers.conf > Then choose "recovery mode" from the boot menu so X doesn't > automatically start. This should get you to a console. You can > check your work using lsmod. If I don't blacklist nouveau, the screen becomes dark gray and the computer seems not to respond, so I had to reboot into a live CD to blacklist both drivers, as you suggest, in order to get a working console. I checked with lsmod that neither driver was installed. Furthermore, I didn't get the usual 'nvidia driver taints kernel' message on startup. Nevertheless, when X was started (after I logged off of single user mode), the nvidia startup screen was displayed and the nvidia driver was loaded. $ lsmod|grep nvidia nvidia 10183049 43 i2c_core 19116 2 i2c_i801,nvidia Thus, I guess that the blacklist mechanism doesn't inhibit X from loading nvidia. I found I had another file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-common.conf with contents: alias char-major-195* nvidia options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=44 NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660 # To enable FastWrites and Sidebus addressing, uncomment these lines # options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 # options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 # see #580894 blacklist nouveau I renamed it to /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-common.confold to get it out of the way, but I didn't notice any change. I don't know if it is better to keep that file as it was or to remove it. I checked the /dev directory: $ ls -l /dev/|grep nvidia crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root root 195, 0 Oct 9 19:57 nvidia0 crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root root 195, 255 Oct 9 19:57 nvidiactl Also, I don't know if I should keep my current configuration (blacklisting nvidia and nouveau) or if I should return to the previous one. Anyway, my problem (the laptop fails to shut off) seems to have been solved with the last nvidia upgrade of debian/testing. I still have some other problems like an occasional black screen after suspend/resume. As you see, there are many things I don't understand, but I'm very grateful for your advice.

Thanks for your interest; it motivates me to try again. My system is debian/testing. Can you suggest which steps must be taken to blacklist both drivers (and which steps to re-enable them, in case I have to revert to the current working but non-ideal situation). > Results from testing nouveau with the 3.5.y kernel from experimental > would be interesting as well.

The screen appears black, with some blinking gray lines. I'll post more details when I try again. If I recall correctly, a long time ago my video worked reasonably with the nv driver.

Dear Ben, I tried, but after blacklisting nvidia, commenting out nvidia-kernel-common.conf and running update-initramfs -u to avoid nvidia being loaded, the noveau driver was loaded instead and the video of my laptop became useless. I couldn't use nor X nor the text consoles. I had to boot from a live CD to revert my changes and load nvidia again.

Bug#684240: linux-image-3.2.0-3-686-pae: lenovo t61 laptop fails to shutdown
Package: src:linux Version: 3.2.21-3 Severity: normal When I power off my system, either using the power-off menu entry of gnome-3, of xfce, or running 'shutdown -h now', the shutdown sequence does not finish. The bluetooth and the battery lights remains on and the laptop feels warm even after some time (I guess the fan may remain turned on sometimes, but I'm not sure). To fully power down I have to press the power button for a few seconds. I'm not sure if it is related, but now I don't see the usual messages that used to flash in a console during shutdown. (Worse than that, it seems that I have lost the consoles that used to be available using C-A-F1...F6). Not shutting down is not critical for my system, but it might be for others that run unattended. My system has no problem 'sleeping' and 'waking up', though it has problems 'hibernating'.
