Bug#625813: xorg: Reoccurrence with diagnostics while in the problem state
Well I feel slightly foolish but plenty of searching has not provided an asnwer I am confident in yet. What is the cleanest way for me to update my nvidia driver to the one in testing? At present the most clear instructions I can find are at http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers but that does not work for me (my system sticks with 195.36.31). I could try and build the drivers from source but that feels like the wrong way to do things. I did try forcing nvidia-kernel-dkms to 280.13-2 as that seemed like it should do what I wanted but the nvidia setting manager still reports me using the older version. I also tried http://wiki.debian.org/ModuleAssistant but that said I have the latest version too... which I do but I want the unstable version and I cannot force it. Apt-get -t unstable also said that I was already up to date for which ever nvidia package I pointed it at. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I did try forcing nvidia-kernel-dkms to 280.13-2 as that seemed like it should do what I wanted but the nvidia setting manager still reports me using the older version. For a squeeze amd64 system it should work to install the nvidia-glx package (and all its dependencies) from testing without needing to upgrade anything else to testing.

Apt-get -t unstable also said that I was already up to date for which ever nvidia package I pointed it at. Did you reboot after updating the driver? Or manually stop Xorg, unload the old nvidia kernel module and restart X? There should have been a debconf notice explaining this. If you use reportbug to do a followup on this bug report (from the problematic machine of course), we will get a list of packages installed currently, modules loaded, logfiles etc. that may help to further disgnose your problem.

I did keep an eye out for anything asking me to restart X or similar as I was expect it. I have not done that yet so I will do so soon.

Slight problem with my setup not matching our local Debian mirror but not that is fixed I updated to the unstable version easily using sudo apt-get -t unstable install nvidia-glx I can even confirm that the Nvidia settings panel thinks I am using the updated driver. I will set a reminder to update the Bug in two months time if I do not see the problem again before that. Once again thanks for your help.

Andreas Beckmann deb...@abeckmann.de 29/08/2011 I see the following possibilities for further investigation: * try to reproduce the problem without the non-free nvidia driver, if this succeeds (i.e. the problem still exists) we can reassign the bug back to xorg * test with the current nvidia driver from testing (unfortunately we don't have backports of the current nvidia driver, yet) * wait until current nvidia drivers are available in backports Thanks for the recommendations, I will see if I can update my driver (and the related packages) from 195.36.31-1 (current stable) to 280.13-1 (unstable). If I don't see anything for a couple of months after the driver update I will try to post an update to this bug.
