I must quickly update my post. Following a reboot francesco@tya64:~$ uname -r 3.16.0-4-amd64 francesco@tya64:~$ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Francesco Pietra <chiendar...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, Jul 16, 2016 at 10:56 AM Subject: Re: Failure lauching application since iceweasel -> Firefox To: Lennart Sorensen <lsore...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca> Cc: amd64 Debian <debian-amd64@lists.debian.org> 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 francesco pietra On Fri, Jul 15, 2016 at 7:56 PM, Lennart Sorensen < lsore...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca> wrote: > On Fri, Jul 15, 2016 at 06:57:28PM +0200, Francesco Pietra wrote: > > I fear that on the amd64-gnome box my sources list should be amended: > > > > deb http://debian.netcologne.de/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free > > Wheezy is long gone, given jessie was release well over a year ago now. > Might be worth an upgrade. > > -- > Len Sorensen >
