Ok! After reading some (too much for my taste) material, I came up
with this procedure that some sites more or less explained and make
senses:
First, downloaded the new NVIDIA.bin driver.
Now:
$su
# mv sources.list sources.list.squeeze
# mv sources.list.wheezy sources.list
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install linux-image
# apt-get install udev
# update-grub2
# reboot
The system booted on console, because of video driver. Good. After
all, we want dist-upgrade on console.
# apt-get dist-upgrade
# apt-get -f install
# apt-get upgrade
# apt-get autoremove
# reboot
Again, console. Now
# ./NVIDIA-blabla.bin
# reboot
KDE is up an running. No "amarok" though.
# apt-get update
# apt-get install amarok
# apt-get upgrade
After more 114 packages upgraded, and amarok ok, the system is just fine.
The only think I needed was to put my off-board sound card as priority
on KMIX settings again. But amarok was playing on both cards (on-board
and off-board).
I yet have to test kaffeine and encripted DVD.
Something I immediately noticed: my wireless signal strength became excellent.
Thanks!
Beco.
PS. Some packages was kept behind. I'll post the list of packages soon.
