Not now... I reinstalled from scratch and after spending a few hours
learning the ins and outs of the udev bug (fix by rm -f /run, hmm) I have

I didn't know about "Nvidia .run", I will certainly look closer at this
possibility if I have problems in the future.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate the help.
