Re: Problem after dist-upgrade and dpkg install -f (Probably nvidia packages related)
Thanks Hans.
I must add when shutting down I get a black screen with lots of text. The system will not shut down. I have to press the powerbutton and hold it to power it off.
After starting up again I performed apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*
The output was:
root@debian:/home/piet# apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
Well, it seems I would be running in circles then.
Any other idea?
Kind regards,
Aquarius

Hi Aquarius,
looks like you got into trouble with nvidia-driver.
You should uninstall these, then doing a dist-upgrade and then conetrate to
install the nvidia-driver again.
I prefer two possible ways to uninstall all nvidia-packages (but check before
telling "y"):
apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*
or
aptitude purge ~nnvidia-*
Both should work. But as I said, look, what is going to deinstalled, before
telling YES. In most cases these commands are working well.
When they are all deinstalled, reinstall the required package. Note: You must
have a graphics card with Geforce 9 or higher! Otherwise the package will not
be installed. Check your hardware if it is supported by the package.
Note, you must have kernel-headers installed.
Good luck!
Hans
