Thanks for everyone helping me setting up my
sources.list. Now, it works fine. But I still cannot
find anywhere Nvidia drivers.
Also, I still cannot start synaptic from the menu. It
works fine from the command line. But when I close
synaptic, it leaves the followin message in the
terminal window:
(synaptic:2788): Gtk-CRITICAL **:
gtk_tree_view_unref_tree_helper: assertion `node !=
NULL' failed
Could anyone help me interpreting this message?
Thanks a lot
