Re: Failure lauching application since iceweasel -> Firefox

[Francesco Pietra <chiendarret@gmail.com>]

Following dist-upgrade wheezy->jessie, linux prompt could only be reached from 3.2.0-4 sysinit and no screen

startx

mdprobe error /libkmod/libkmod-module.c:816 kmod_module_insert_module()

could not find module by name 'nvidia-current'

Then, I adjusted the sources.list as for my GPU work station, where wheezy->jessie had been carried out long ago:

deb http://debian.netcologne.de/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.netcologne.de/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main non-free

deb http://debian.netcologne.de/debian/ jessie-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.netcologne.de/debian/ jessie-proposed-updates main contrib non-free

i.e., testing -> jessie for proposed updates

       jessie -> wheezy for multimedia

Following #aptitude update/upgrade

startx

gnome-session

performed perfectly.

uname -r
3.2.0-4

i.e., 3.16-0-4 was not used in combination with nvidia. Is my procedure correct or should jessie be used for also multimedia?

thanks

Wheezy is long gone, given jessie was release well over a year ago now.
Might be worth an upgrade.
